  • He Gets It

    I really feel Dr Eilers gets it. Anxiety and depression that is. Much of what he talks about resonates with my lifelong experience. His podcast is also entertaining which holds my interest. Just enough self deprecation to be cute but not excessive. I just wish he didn’t need to promote products even if those products are of high quality.

  • Great but disturbing breaks

    I love the content! But it is quite disingenuous to suddenly be marketing something by sneaking it into the content. No, it is not a relevant product we just need to purchase, it is deceptive marketing. And the actual commercials that are not in your voice are SO LOUD and abrupt. Startles my pets. Such wisdom hidden among the sneaky ads and the abrupt ads.

In this show, Scott transposes some of the most useful aspects of his professional and academic training within the lived context of someone fighting depression still through practical, everyday analysis. Thank you, Scott, for this show! When I feel like I can’t find my sel... more
