Emotionally "Unstable"? Who, Me?

This is Interfering Neurotic with me, Dr Ash King, and mindfulness coach, Daron Larson - where we navigate a life lived with the curses and blessings of big feelings.

Coming up, we explore: 

• The reality show that is US politics and how we feel about it
• The Big 5 Personality Test and what ingredients make for a neurotic individual
• Art and creativity as a safe space for the emotional experience
• The benefits of being more objective to our subjective experiences
• And the pro’s and con’s of sharing our feelings and struggles with the wider world
