Episode 148: What even is time? Cognitive Distortions

Goblin Lore Podcast

CW: Mental Health

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in #MentalHealthMtG and attempting to raise money for MH Organizations!!

Today's episode is a little different. Hobbes is still recovering from the MH Charity Event 2 Day Streaming Extravaganza (or something). He does a brief recap of that before handing it over to Alex to discuss Cognitive Distortions/Common Mistakes in Thinking. We discussed this way back in Episode 69 about Davriel's "Entity" and May seemed like a good time to revisit, This article is used as the jumping off point for discussion and can be a resource to learn more!

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
