Don't Call it a comeback is a new podcast from Wondery. It's co-hosted by Ryan Shazir, a former pro bowl linebacker and Dave Dameschek, a former fantasy analyst on the NFL Network. Don't call it a comeback covers the greatest comeback stories from the past week in sports.
Yesterday we journaled about our dread. Today we’re going to see what happens when we express the overwhelming feeling of dread, without words. It’s Day Two of The Dread Project Challenge, a five-day series that investigates an emotion so many of us are struggling with lately – from our dread of the next Zoom meeting to worries that have life-and-death stakes. Each day of the challenge, we tackle dread in a different way, and offer you a fun exercise for feeling a little better, even when you’re anticipating the worst.
In this episode, we’ll talk with Clinical Art Therapist Naomi Cohen-Thompson and Meditation Teacher & Writer Jeff Warren about how visualizing, and sometimes even drawing, can help us accept the stuff that scares us.
