**The Reset Room**
What if the mental health advice you've been getting actually makes things worse? Join Theo Nakamura, a former tech worker who burned out spectacularly before becoming a therapist, as he breaks down why most mental health conversations miss the mark and what actually works instead.
This isn't your typical therapy podcast. Theo combines real clinical training with the messy reality of someone who's been there, covering everything from anxiety and depression to building genuine emotional intelligence. He started recording casual conversations with friends about mental health and accidentally created something bigger. Now he's helping thousands of people make sense of therapy concepts that usually sound like academic nonsense.
Theo spent five years climbing the corporate ladder before realizing he was helping everyone except himself. His approach cuts through the wellness industry fluff to give you practical tools that actually move the needle. Each episode feels like talking to that one friend who gets it and knows what they're talking about.
Expect honest conversations about what it really takes to reset your mental health, minus the toxic positivity and one-size-fits-all solutions. Follow The Reset Room for multiple new episodes daily and start building the emotional toolkit you actually need.
