If Your Dad Stopped Watching

from Loose Threads · host Loose Threads

If you stripped away everything your father ever wanted for you, the standards, the disappointments, the bar he kept moving, would there be anything underneath that you'd still call ambition? Or would you find a quiet person you've never met?Nick is twenty-two and can't answer that question. Chris is forty and thought he could, until Nick caught him bluffing. They talk about the wall sons build, the relief that gives you away, and the possibility that the pressure didn't damage you, it built you, and the parts you most want to keep are the parts you can't separate from the man you keep meaning to call.Most episodes try to give you an answer. This one will give you something worse: a question you can't stop checking against your own life

And talking to those who’ve experienced the therapeutic magic of psychedelics and hearing about their personal journey has become my passion. Mindful Trip is a safe space to have conversations that demystify and de-stigmatize the use of psychedelics for therapeutic use. Conversations that allow us to have deeper connections with ourselves and others. I hope that sharing these intimate, funny, and inspiring stories helps you find the answers you’re looking for.
