I'm Despondent: Poems of Despair

By Taryenna Joe Dickerson

I want to thank neuroscientists Dr. Caroline Leaf and Dr. Andrew Huberman for their continuous efforts in educating the public about brain and body function for optimal health and well-being. The work you are doing has given me actionable tools to change my mental perspective and daily physical condition. Thank you Dr. Huberman for plainly teaching on the sleep/wake cycles, the importance of light, and how to make dopamine work in my favor to accomplish my desired outcome. Thank you Dr. Leaf for your clear lessons on the "Neurocycle" and using the five steps for mind-management. These poems are a creative expression of my memories of grief moments that are the branches of two major debilitating thought trees, "you are worthless" and "you can't." The more "Metacogs" I engage in the closer I move towards my greater self.
