Introduction
ADK After Hours talks with therapist Hannah Bocher about the mental health issues people interested in effective altruism face. To protect her client's confidentiality, we primarily focused on issues I've struggled with myself as a result of my engagement with EA. This format ended up being so unlike our 80,000 hours podcast episodes that we decided it was a better fit for after hours. We also talk about moral demandingness, internal family systems style therapy, motivation and burnout,. exposure therapy, grappling with world problems and ex-risk, perfectionism and imposter syndrome.
