Reflections
A space for thinking out loud about the inner life, in the voice that Wyser speaks in.
The Wyser Story
Why I built Wyser
All of us deserve emotional literacy. All of us are worthy of kindness. This is the honest, personal story of why I built Wyser.
Emotional Literacy
The problem with 'How are you?'
It is the most common question in any language. And most people cannot actually answer it honestly. Not because they are hiding something, but because they were never taught how.
Counter-Narrative
You are not broken, you are paying attention
The difference between awareness and anxiety is thinner than you think. What if the discomfort you feel is not a problem, but a signal that you are actually awake?
Pattern Recognition
What your overthinking is actually trying to tell you
Your mind is not broken. It is working overtime because something underneath needs attention. Here is how to listen to what the spiral is really saying.
Counter-Narrative
The myth of the quick fix
Real self-understanding takes time. Not because you are slow, but because you are deep. And depth does not respond to hacks, shortcuts, or seven-day challenges.
Emotional Literacy
Emotions are not the enemy
Somewhere along the way, we learned that feeling things deeply was a weakness. What if it is actually your greatest source of intelligence?
Pattern Recognition
What looks like personality is often coping
The caregiver, the controller, the cynic, the believer. Four versions of the same move: a strategy learned early to make a particular environment survivable, now mistaken for who you are.
