I read a couple of articles in the Atlantic and the Wall Street Journal that talked about studies around why we rewatch movies and tv shows. Studies showed that there was a therapeutic benefit to the déja vu. Of course, there is the sense of nostalgia, visiting a happy place or moment that you’ve already been. Another point is that because you’ve seen it before, there will be no surprises.

This is a reupload, as it looks like the first time I published this episode, it didn’t make it passed the first segment. And honestly I was so in my feelings about a completely unrelated matter that I got overly angry about this and the lack of solutions I could find to fix it! But now, I’m tired and I realized I could just recreate the episode. Because duh. Let me know if it works by liking, commenting and subscribing!

This episode is entirely me externally processing, no edits. To be honest, I didn’t really feel like recording, but it’s amazing that you can discover something new just by diving a little deeper into your feelings. I also shared a little bit about how I started this podcast because tangents.

Let’s pretend that you’re sitting in a job interview and the hiring manager asks you that infamous question: “What is your biggest weakness?” And you respond, “I’m a perfectionist.” And you know why you’ve answered this way, because many people don’t view perfectionism as a bad thing, on the contrary it can be a strength! But for me, it was toxic, being a perfectionist. So now I’m in recovery and I want to talk about it.
