Interview: In this episode of the Fear Less podcast, we sit down with Gray Thomas, a Middlebury College student, lacrosse player, and former resident at Mountain Valley Treatment Center. Gray shares the story of stepping back from college, sports, and life to face his fears head-on and enroll at Mountain Valley. During our conversation, Gray shares the valuable lessons he learned through Exposure Response Prevention therapy and practical daily habits, such as the Wim Hof Method, that have become a crucial part of his anxiety management toolkit. He also discusses how talk therapy, community, and peer connection played a pivotal role in his recovery.

Gray's story continued beyond Mountain Valley, where he returned to school, rejoined the lacrosse team, and embarked on a new venture - starting his own hat company. But this is no ordinary hat company. Gray's mission is to use his brand to destigmatize mental health and create a conversation around it.

Tune in to hear Gray's inspiring story and learn how he turned his struggles with anxiety into a powerful message of hope and change. You won't want to miss this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation.
