How To Be Neurotic

from Interfering Neurotic Hosted by Ash King

Welcome to our first ep of Interfering Neurotic with Dr Ash King, and Daron Larson - where we navigate a life lived with the curses and blessings of big feelings. Together, we explore why we think, feel and act the ways we do (sometimes against our better judgement) and the deranged pursuits we embark upon to find ourselves, fix ourselves and keep fooling ourselves. In Episode 1, we tackle: What to do when break ups leave us devolved to wet slimy slug-form Recommendations for meditations and movies What it means to be neurotic and the first moments in our lives we thought we might be The nature of endurance and resilience in a world full of unknowns. --- Show notes: Daron’s TEDTalk: https://youtu.be/Ze6t34_p-84?si=dTLDEQJ_g0Xddt0p The Wonder (2022) Sebastián Lelio: https://boxd.it/v3uY Loving Kindness With Self-Compassion.
