Welcome to Analyzed & Unbothered, where thoughts run deep, vibes are grounded and overthinking? It’s just a personality trait at this point!!

I’m Gauri, a psychology major at the University of Washington with one foot in clinical research, the other in mental health advocacy, and my head somewhere between a peer-reviewed article and a midnight spiral. I created this blog as a space to pause, process, and pull apart the many layers of what it means to be a mind in motion. Whether I’m untangling thought patterns, reflecting on the messiness of growing up, or trying to figure out why I remember cringey childhood memories at 3 a.m., it all lands here.

This blog is a mix of academic curiosity and emotional honesty. It lives somewhere between the DSM and a group chat meltdown—rooted in evidence-based psych, but never afraid to question, challenge, or laugh at itself. If you’ve ever Googled your feelings, cried in a statistics class, or tried to psychoanalyze your situation-ship—you’ll probably feel seen here.

At UW, I’ve explored and continue to explore the clinical side of psychology through research, serving as a teaching assistant, and hands-on work in community-based settings—coaching girls through confidence-building programs, interning at mental health centers, and working as a clinical counselor in a camp setting for children with autism and ADHD. Supporting neurodivergent kids isn’t just another experience on my list—it’s something I care about deeply. Those moments, whether helping a camper navigate social interactions or celebrating small milestones, have shaped how I see mental health: as something that must be inclusive, empathetic, and reflective of the many ways minds move through the world.

Analyzed & Unbothered is my way of merging all of that—my academic side, my cultural roots, my Gen-Z sensibility, and my not-so-secret dream of making mental health education less gate-kept and more human.

So whether you’re here for the research-backed reflections, the unfiltered breakdowns, or just to feel a little less alone in your own mental maze—pull up a seat. You don’t need to have it all figured out to join the conversation. I certainly don’t.
