Musings On Mental Health
Life is a Festival #84: Eamon Armstrong
Listen to the Podcast
Every few months I like to offer an update on my personal journey by sharing an interview I did with another podcaster. This week’s episode is a repod from Eric White’s show theEWpodcast.
Although Eric’s intention was initially to talk about festivals, we move quickly into a conversation about mental health. We discuss techniques for meeting depression and anxiety as teachers. We talk trauma work from psychedelics to shaking to something called “brainspotting.” At the end of the conversation we experienced a moment of disconnection and the opportunity to not run away.
I definitely recommend checking out other episodes of Eric’s podcast. I’ve offered some mentorship since he launched and I’m really proud of what he’s created. Thanks for having me on your show Eric!
