We mean it. F*ck you, Final Destination. And with that out of the way, we’d like you to take a moment and think: what do you tell yourself to get through the day? Any mantra, words of encouragement? In today’s episode, Jimmy and Harley explore advice people have received from their therapists. Sometimes the lessons can be harsh, but always with the intent of helping you, help you. Take a walk with us as we talk about the boundaries that need pushing, when to slow down and live in the present, and if Neanderthal genes are why we’re all so f*cked up. Let’s learn some new life mantras to keep us going!Buzzfeed article: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kaylayandoli/most-memorable-things-therapists-have-said-to-their-patients
