Drone Therapy Podcast Ep. 26: Needles & the Damage Won Ft. special guest Maria Chavez

About this episode

Maria Chavez returns to discuss mental health, therapy, and her reunion with a mini pug.

Good grief, broken records, & brain surgery. Maria Chavez is back in Canada reuniting with Lana Del Satan mini pug this week. https://www.instagram.com/chavezsayz Drone music's slow moving ambience and long repetitive tones position it as a soothing genre, suitable for relaxation, meditation, and therapeutic practices. Drone music can also contain harsher vibes, just as I have found therapy can also produce anxieties and traumas as it attempts to lessen them. Drone Therapy is a comedy performance series about mental health and treatment access. It began as a Youtube series in 2015 while I was struggling in a free three month Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) program, and has continued as Drone Therapy Live, which takes Drone Therapy out of my bedroom to venues, galleries, or festivals, sometimes with guests. In December 2017 Drone Therapy Podcast (aka Dying But Fine Podcast) launched as a regular audio series focusing on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) via Vice Motherboard. The podcast continues forever as everything else crumbles to dust. https://kristeljax.com/therapy https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/drone-therapy-podcast/id1322153680…
