Based on these allegations (BetterHelp denies any wrongdoing and settled with the FTC for $7.8 million), Paul explains his decision to end his endorsement deal with them. Due to the financial cost to edit out past ads for BetterHelp (from over 380 episodes) this mini-episode is to inform listeners that even though all those ad reads still exist in past episodes he has walked away from his relationship with them.  To read the FTC complaint visit their website. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/2023169betterhelpcomplaintfinal.pdf   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She also shares a number of incredible self-soothing tactics that have helped her along the way.  More About Elyse: https://zora.medium.com/dear-white-friends-335d6088077 https://elysecizek.medium.com/cancel-culture-isnt-real-4d2b62b47a9d https://tr.ee/FaBAW-U5lP https://linktr.ee/elysecizek?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=ff2aafcf-ed3c-4dcc-96b0-b0f6624d436d ELYSE’S TIPS TO SELF-SOOTHE 1. Recognize that I am dysregulated. Stepping outside and observing how I’m feeling helps me to separate the feelings/fear from reality and allow myself to feel them, but without the urgency to act. 2. Talk to myself. Out loud. “Hey, I’m here. You’re ok. You’re safe.” Saying things like this, wrapping my arms around myself, kissing my shoulders, rubbing my cheeks…I can be angry, sad, overwhelmed, but I get to do it in the safe embrace of myself. 3. Ask myself what I need. Again. Out loud. Do I need a glass of water? To go outside? Something to eat? The process of cooking or preparing food, filling a glass of water, etc, is excellent in these times. I cry while I do it. I scream. I lay on the floor if I need to, then get back up.  4. Do something with my hands. Wash a dish, write something down, sweep my floors, take my dog outside, again-preparing food. All of it helps keep my brain preoccupied.  5. Call someone. Anyone. Talk to a human being. About anything.  If I’m not at home: All of these work but if I’m in public (like a gym or a movie theater) and a panic attack comes on, I go outside. The self-soothing of embracing myself and talking to myself is still a major first step. Who cares who’s watching?!  Besides that, I will run around the block or call a friend.
