Episode 226: People Ask What on Reddit?


Listen Later

Ever wondered what kind of mental health advice people look for on Reddit? In this refreshingly candid episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro teams up with certified mentor Jack Beers to unpack the internet's most common (and sometimes surprising) questions about anxiety, therapy, burnout, and more. With humor, wisdom, and a deeply Catholic lens, they dive into real struggles people face every day—and offer practical insights that go far beyond a Reddit thread. Whether you're curious, confused, or just tired of pop-psych buzzwords, this conversation is for you.

Key Topics:

  • The difference between stress and anxiety—and why it matters

  • What it means to feel numb (and why you can't just "snap out of it")

  • Why we sometimes can't sleep—and how to calm your brain without forcing it

  • How to share your mental health struggles with others in a healthy way

  • The real meaning of burnout—and how to spot it early
