CW: Mental Health

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the plan is for all the episodes this month to relate to important topics within Mental Health. We are also participating (along with other excellent creators) in partnering for a Mental Health Charity Event this coming weekend (May 18/19). Hobbes goes over the details in today's episode.

We are back (for the 3rd time) to discuss Cognitive Distortions/Common Mistakes in Thinking. We discussed this way back in Episode 69 about Davriel's "Entity" and again in Episode 148. May seemed like a good time to revisit, This article is used as the jumping off point for discussion and can be a resource to learn more!

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources

As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
