ASMR I GOT LEVAR BURTON TO SAY NICE THINGS TO YOU for GRIEF. Fireside comfort, then ENTERPRISE tour.

This digital care package is dedicated to one of my readers who died recently, Mason.
From our Levar Burton cameo, through a relaxing fireside book chat Reading Rainbow style, to finally a tour of Star Trek's Enterprise, I hope this little ASMR gift relaxes you, comforts you, and reminds you: you are not alone.

I designed the Star Trek tour at the end using sounds from PowerDirector and this neat channel called Stingray Music that has some sound effects. While working on it, I came across this cool ten hour ambient Star Trek soundscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKBvaOLDem0 Wish my sound design was half as good! Check em out.

Finally, if you are having trouble finding a therapist, please visit betterhelp.com/doctorjen for an online option. I was excited to affiliate with them, and my special link will get you 10 percent off teletherapy. I cannot write an insurance referral to them, but I am glad they exist.

***To follow my tragic adventures as I demonstrate how the American medical training system is BUILT to create a shortage of doctors who care, please listen to my show on the Emergency Escape Podcast Network: https://emergencyexit.podbean.com/?s=Death+and+the+doctor

There, you’ll hear about the deaths that convinced me we’re doing it wrong; my dream to take modern medicine to those who can’t afford it; and ultimately the reason I left the American residency system.

***Jen Finelli is a world-traveling scifi author who's gone swimming with sharks, escaped being locked in a German nunnery, discovered murals and poetry in underground urban caves, explored jungles and coral deserts, and hung out with everyone from dead people and prostitutes to secret political influencers and Senators. She is coping with life as an MD by telling you stories, and when she grows up she’ll be a superhero.

Jen is not your therapist. If you need your own therapist, please go to your primary care physician and ask them to refer you. Ask for someone skilled in CBT. Alternatively, there are therapists you can talk to online affordably (betterhelp.com/doctorjen) While Jen is a real doctor, she is not YOUR doctor; nothing she says is official medical advice, diagnosis, or disease treatment, because she has not physically examined or spoken with YOU. You have the power to fact-check. Her medical license is publicly searchable under the state of Virginia medical boards at 0101265916.
