Chat Was Us | Mental Health
This week on That Was Us…we’re back with another favorite segment of the pod, Chat Was Us! This time, we’re talking about a topic that was at the heart of so many This Is Us stories: mental health. From Randall’s anxiety to Kevin’s addiction and Kate’s struggles with body image, the show explored the many ways mental health can shape our lives. Mandy, Sterling, and Chris get candid about their own experiences, the habits they’re working on, and the tools that help them navigate life’s challenges. In this episode, the conversation covers: * How they approach mental health check-ins and reflect on their own habits * Overthinking conversations and replaying interactions long after they happen * The importance of alone time and learning to protect the time they need to recharge * Why asking for help can be difficult, even when you know you need it * How they handle worst-case scenarios and the stories they tell themselves when things go wrong * Setting boundaries, saying no, and navigating people-pleasing tendencies * Learning to talk about difficult feelings instead of keeping them bottled up * How their understanding of mental health has evolved over the years * Recognizing when others are struggling versus recognizing those same patterns in themselves * The tools they rely on to maintain their mental health, from therapy and meditation to exercise, sleep, and journaling * What they’ve learned about mental health through playing their This Is Us characters * A game of guessing which This Is Us character said some memorable lines about mental health And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu.
