That's clearly an external event.

But how does the internal process also matter in that external event?

What would you say to someone who feels like because they look at the news and they look at the outside world and they see horrible things happening and they see other people suffering, that their own suffering is unworthy because it's not big enough?

It doesn't matter.

We could all use some perspective and we're going to get even more of it.

But first, we are going to experience some podcast ads.

We've all been there, feeling stuck with a problem because no one in our life can relate or because the one person we need to talk to won't or can't.

That's where Proxy comes in.

Proxy is a podcast that believes no one is ever completely alone with their problem because somewhere out there is someone who gets it.

Maybe they've even experienced the exact same thing as you.

On Proxy, Yo-Wei Sha, former co-host of Invisibilia, scours the world for that perfect stranger for you to talk to and help you get less stuck.

Plus, we just had Yo-Wei on our show, so if you enjoyed the episode featuring her, I think you're going to love her podcast.

Proxy is a podcast that constantly surprises.

You've got your thorny, impossible-to-solve cases of heartbreak or family discord, but then also these funny, weird little problems like the woman whose internal narrator never stops talking.

Subscribe to Proxy wherever you get your podcasts.

New cases every other Tuesday.

And we are back with Dr. Jenny Tates.

I'd love to talk about some of the specific practices because, I mean, something that, again, is so fantastic about you and your work is you are so grounded in what can people actually do.

Like, okay, here's an actual practice that you can do.

And your book is genuinely just full of practices for people to do.
