A post on WIL WHEATON dot NET.

Also, this, which he has embedded in that post there:



"'I Survived Being a Child Star' Wil Wheaton: How to Heal Trauma & Believing Aliens are Out There"

"Wil Wheaton (TBBT, bestselling author, award-winning audiobook narrator, host of It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton) is back in the MBB studio, and he's opening up like never before about his deeply personal journey as a trauma survivor. From grappling with the scars of being raised by emotionally immature and narcissistic parents to surviving abuse on a movie set, he shares the emotional tools and therapies that have helped him heal, including EMDR and IFS therapy. He dives into the mind-bending connections between quantum physics, nonlinear time, and reparenting your inner child, while exploring fascinating topics like extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and telepathy. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation on how trauma has shaped every aspect of Wil's life, his thoughts on the dangers of spiritual charlatans, and his cautious approach to psychedelics. Don't miss this thought-provoking as we connect the dots between science, spirituality, and the unknown!"



From Mr. Wheaton's post above:

"You also get to see me get triggered in real time, realize it, recover from it, and address what happened. It’s a little embarrassing to see myself fuck up like that, in public no less, and be reactive when I want to be responsive, but I feel like it could be a valuable teaching moment and that’s worth a little embarrassment, if it’s helpful to literally anyone else in the world."

Anyway, outside of occasional full episodes of Some More News or Last Week Tonight (which I usually watch at 2x speed), or shorter clips from things like Castle Super Beast (which I also usually watch at 2x speed), I don't normally make time to just sit back and listen to podcasts like this. But I did that for this one (at 1x speed, even), and I'm glad I did.

And it seems like I, too, have some "homework" now, which is to watch Arrival at some point and maybe also look into Sugar.
