The Man Made Podcast ep. 27 Family

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast


This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a
licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate
student in behavioral health counselling. They’ve known each
other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and
tribulations of life.


Ah, family, the origin of both our best character traits and the
quirkiest neuroses we didn't even know we could develop! The
family unit can be likened to a mental health gymnasium, full of
rigorous emotional workout sessions. Your sister, the unpaid
therapist, absorbs your angst like a sponge, leaving you lighter
(if not her slightly more warped). That eccentric uncle, who
makes the strangest analogies? He unwittingly sharpens your
creative problem-solving skills. Those parental pop quizzes on
"Who broke the vase?" build resilience, whereas the surprise
birthday parties foster joy and camaraderie. In the chaotic
melody of family life, we learn emotional resilience, empathy,
patience, and most importantly, the art of finding humor amidst
the madness. So, it turns out, your lovably dysfunctional family
isn't just your first social circle, but your lifelong mental
wellness coaches too, serving wisdom with a side of laughter,
tears, and occasionally burnt toast!
