S3 Ep 9Not Black and White: Anxiety, Dating, and Real Life
A raw, honest continuation of a conversation about anxiety, stigma, and mental health. Yossi and Ari unpack why life isn’t black-and-white, how anxiety shows up in real relationships, and why getting help doesn’t define who you are, it just means you’re human.
S3 Ep 8I thought I was having a heart attack | Two Cents
In this episode of Two Cents, Rabbi Ari Bensoussan and Yossi Bensoussan sit down for a wide-ranging, honest conversation that starts with Shabbos experiences and ends somewhere much deeper.They reflect on powerful Shabbatonim, the unity created through shared Torah, and what it feels like to be in a room where nothing is being sold — just learned, lived, and felt.Then the conversation shifts.R’ Ari shares something he didn’t plan to share publicly: his personal experience with panic attacks and anxiety, the fear of not understanding what was happening to his body, and the moment he chose to speak openly about it during a live Q&A. What followed revealed how many people are quietly struggling — and how heavy the stigma still is.Together, Ari and Yossi discuss:Panic attacks and anxiety from lived experienceWhy so many people suffer in silenceThe stigma around therapy and medicationGenerational trauma and modern pressureWhy getting help is not weakness — and not a lack of emunahThe difference between support systems and professional toolsThis is not a clinical discussion. It’s a real conversation — thoughtful, unfiltered, and grounded in lived reality.All Two Cents podcast episodes can be watched every week on Meaningful Minute Plus.Become a member at www.twocents.plusFor more mental health content, articles, and resources, visit Behind the Faces at BehindTheFaces.orgYou don’t need to suffer alone.
