Dont Panic is Kate Pinchuck's award-winning comedy show about navigating mental health, being the daughter of two psychologists, and how incessantly trying to fix yourself can make everything worse. Were all about doing the work, were all on our healing journeys. The show is about fixing your inherently flawed self, reparenting your inner child, and forgiving your parents for doing their best (which turned out to not be very good actually). It's about trying not to lie to your therapist so she likes you more, while still telling the truth enough that she can help you stop people-pleasing. It's about how everyone who identifies as a people-pleaser doesnt seem to be very good at it. And how maybe, if you spend the whole mental health walk calling yourself lazy, you shouldnt be surprised it's not improving your mental health. Kate Pinchuck is the daughter of two psychologists, a gold star patient of many more, and she's just trying her fking best to do self-compassion even though secretly she doesnt think she deserves it. That's just a core belief though, you can totally work with that. Also the meds should help. With this level of experience as a patient, Kate is basically an unqualified qualified pseudo-therapist whose obsession with fixing herself sometimes spills over into trying to solve her audience's problems too.
