I’m a huge fan of distraction as a coping technique for chronic symptoms. I used get all judge-y on myself for needing a distraction but now I join the legions who agree they can be very healthy, especially for those of us with over/active, perseverating minds. My favorite? The Office. Gets more therapeutic with each re-viewing!

Ah, comfort TV. It’s a special kind of show that is both distracting fun and somehow therapeutic all at the same. The Good Place is my current favorite re-watch, as well as the holiday episodes from Ted Lasso. Do you have a go-to movie for the same distracting therapy?

Napoleon Dynamite!!! (And yes, Ted Lasso and Good Place are great therapy as well. Thank you screenwriters of Hollywood!)
