I love all the episodes of twinnuendo, but especially loved this one! I am a psychologist so that may have played a role, but doubt it. Darby/Drew you had such good advice about finding a therapist that is right for you. You also motivated me to sit down with my brother and sister in law and just get them to chose a therapists like they have said they will do for years! Also Grant, you might want to ask your therapist about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It’s an iteration of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that focuses more on acceptance (duh), values, and mindfulness. It was developed by a White man, but it uses a lot of the knowledge from Asian cultures, especially Buddhism. ACT is personally something I practice. I have found that it really gels well with people who are transitioning to a different stage of life because it helps to clarify your personal values towards living a more fulfilled life that centers on what really matters to you. Also, the Happiness Trap by Russ Harris is a really good self-guided ACT book that I have actually used in therapy with clients.

2024-11-13 23:21:23 +0000 UTCI'm so sad that Drew doesn't like Rose! She's one of my favorites from the original Taskmaster series...I think New Zealand has a different take on the arch sort of humor that the UK has. It's even different than Australia, though both TM NZ and TM AU are filmed in the same location. Great episode, especially the advice that feeling better doesn't mean you should take yourself off your meds!

2024-11-13 05:39:21 +0000 UTCThis is by far the most relevant a Patreon name of mine has ever been. 😂 A fun mental health fact: the term for having difficulty identifying and/or describing one's emotions is ✨alexithymia✨. It's especially common amongst us autistic babes. Therapy definitely helps and another useful tool is a feelings wheel, like the one in my profile pic. Also I think Alexi Thymia would be a beautiful name for a baby drag king and someone should take that and run with it

2024-11-12 23:23:15 +0000 UTCI waste alot of money on random things but I’m so very glad I subscribed to this Patreon! Best purchase this year! Side note Drew (feels weird saying that instead of Darby) I wanna thank you for being an ally for specifically Black LGBTQIA+ people I followed and watched the town hall with bar redacted and you handled yourself with a lot of poise and was very forthcoming and took accountability for your actions. Great example of an ally! 💙💙

2024-11-12 20:10:30 +0000 UTCI'm in the same headspace, I'm building my own Sims 4 world where we have universal healthcare, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and a fair justice system. You know, all the stuff my extended relatives keep voting against in real life. My Sims are about to live in the world I wish we had.

2024-11-12 19:52:45 +0000 UTCI’m so glad people are talking about Taskmaster!! I’ve loved and pirated it for years 😂😂 Paul Williams is amazing as the assistant and the Australian version is pretty good as well. Jeremy is so bad, but the comedians are amazing, so it’s a rough trade off

2024-11-12 18:29:55 +0000 UTCi had to suddenly break up with my therapist just three days before the election. it SUCKS. the past week has been tremendously difficult. thanks for posting these resources and for taking the time to talk about this. hopefully i'll find someone i can trust and be comfortable with, even if that means i have to start over again.
