Ep. 484: Document Then Destroy Bad Feelings, Ways to Train for Tough Transitions, Plus Hacks

We discuss why it can be useful to write down bad feelings on a piece of paper, then shred, toss, or burn it. We also mention a hack from a listener that makes it easier to stay in touch with far-flung friends and family, and listeners share their stories about how they’ve trained (or plan to train) for a tough transition.
