What if your favorite shows weren’t just entertainment—but therapy in disguise? Accidental Therapy Presents is an experimental podcast that explores how storytelling, science, and self-awareness intersect in the most unexpected places. Hosted by Glenn Ostlund—counselor, folklore scholar, and lifelong seeker—this series unpacks how pop culture quietly mirrors the deepest parts of ourselves. Each season, we take a single show, film, or theme and break it open through the lenses of neuroscience, mythology, trauma-informed therapy, and lived experience. We ask questions like: What does Star Wars teach us about emotional regulation? Can mirror neurons and limbic resonance explain binge-worthy tension? How do fear, memory, and internal family systems shape what we feel when we watch? This is also an experimental sound therapy project. Each episode is layered with subtle binaural audio beats, creating a custom soundscape designed to relax your nervous system as you listen. It’s not just a discussion—it’s a felt experience. Glenn also considers this podcast an AI puppet show—a space where his thoughts and questions are handed off to characters, archetypes, and unexpected voices in search of deeper understanding. If you’re drawn to stories that move you… If you’re curious about the biology behind your emotions… If you’ve ever felt like a show knew you better than you knew yourself… You might already be in therapy. You just didn’t know it. Welcome to Accidental Therapy.© 2025 Ear Candy Productions. All rights reserved. Arte Higiene y Vida Saludable Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental

    Maya Pei and the Basal Ganglia Brigade
    Apr 29 2025

    Cassian Andor didn’t just escape a crash — he landed in the middle of a fractured rebellion, where mistrust, fear, and instinct rule the day.
    In this episode, we explore the early chaos of the Rebel Alliance through the lens of the human brain: the survival-driven basal ganglia, the emotional currents of the limbic system, and the emerging wisdom of the neocortex.

    You'll meet the Maya Pei Brigade — not just a group of bickering rebels, but a mirror of your own nervous system under pressure.

    Guided by a binaural beat soundscape (think: a bacta tank for your brain), we dive into how hope survives through the chaos, how awareness can strengthen fractured alliances within, and why embracing your own shadows is the ultimate act of rebellion.

    Dedicated to my sister — and to anyone learning how to trust their own fragile, powerful thread of hope.

    Because the rebellion isn't just out there.

    It's inside you.

    More Than Your Fear

    Episode 1 – More Than Your Fear

    When Cassian Andor climbs into a TIE fighter he’s never flown before, you feel your shoulders tense. You know he’s going to survive—this is a prequel, after all. But your body doesn’t care. That dissonance? It’s limbic resonance. And it’s just the beginning.

    In this premiere episode of Accidental Therapy, Glenn Ostlund breaks down how Andor Season 2 uses cinematic storytelling to activate your nervous system—blurring the lines between what you think and what you feel. You’ll explore:

    • Why your brain can’t always calm your body
    • The evolution of fear through the basal ganglia, limbic system, and neocortex
    • Cassian Andor as a model of nervous system mastery
    • The Force as a metaphor for emotional regulation
    • Nightmares, trauma echoes, and felt experience as emotional reality
    • How to become your own inner rebel alliance through mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS)

    Whether you're a therapist, a Star Wars fan, or someone simply trying to breathe more deeply in a chaotic world, this episode is for the Nia inside all of us.
