After the trial, you’ll need to subscribe. That’ll give you access to hours of simple and straightforward videos and audio meditation.
Bonus: Headspace features friendly little animations to guide you through your practice. They are extremely cute and fantastically non-clinical looking. Finally.
If you’re looking to find some support, but can’t stand to read another webpage with sappy stock photos of a way-too-handsome guy looking into the sky, Man Therapy might be for you. The site offers an approach to mental well-being that is at once humorous and practical, and strives to convince users that there’s no shame in a man’s man looking for support.
Once at the site, "Dr. Rich Mahogany," a crass narrator with a mustache and a penchant for taxidermy animal heads, guides you through the resources available.
While much of the site is tongue-in-cheek, the supports it offers are helpful: a test to evaluate your own well-being, a list of activities that can be done at home to improve your mental health and a tool to help you find support groups or therapists in your area, among others.
