The One About... Defusing Cognitive Distortions
On Hiatus: Mental Health Challenged
As if breaking down Grant's (mostly) cognitive distortions wasn't enough in this episode, Jay hits him with a fact about a high percentage of people don't have an inner monologue. This almost breaks Grant mentally. The comedic downward spiral and the wishful thinking that comes from the idea of not having to suffer from listening to his evil unreliable narrator is a rollercoaster of emotions, to say the least. You may recall that in the first official episode of the season, we quickly discussed the 15 cognitive distortions and broke down the first 5 of them and how they related to us......

The One About... Struggling to Compartmentalize Work/Life Problems
On Hiatus: Mental Health Challenged
Does walking into a room fill you with Anxiety? Are you an immediate wallflower or do you become the life of the party? Anxiety can effect the way we think and present ourselves in very different ways. In today's episode, this conversation just happens to manifest itself. Grant admits to having an outing that he's nervous about once this weeks recording is finished, so Jay, his non social mask wearing and always filled with positivity cohost, goes along for the ride.

The One Where Ginger's Monstrous Anxiety Runneth Over!
On Hiatus: Mental Health Challenged
Greetings dearest listener! This week's episode was born from an actual moment in the streets, so to speak. Grant arrives early for a recording session. Ginger isn't ready. He's still got a studio to clean up, kids to deal with and show notes to finish. This causes a bit of a panic. The simiple question of "What the F*** are you doing here already!?" was apparently out of line between friends of twenty years. A discussion ensues. If you'd like to get ahold of us you can do so by emailing the show Twitter: Ginger @S7evendaysageek Grant @Insta_Grants2 The Show...

The One Where We Enter Therapy
On Hiatus: Mental Health Challenged
Welcome back dear listener! Here it is... The first OFFICIAL episode of season 3! Grant has officially entered therapy, which means Jason is in therapy too, right? In this ep we discuss Grant's therapy sessions, his new diagnosis, thought more may be coming. Jason asks "What was it that pushed you to finally go back to therapy" and boy does Grant have an answer! As of this recording Grant has only been in therapy a couple of times so things are still new. About halfway through the episode Grant asks Jason why he isn't in therapy. This podcast is a form of dialogue therapy for him...
