actually a service i might be uniquely positioned to offer is “math therapy”: i might be able to help people overcome internalized fear of math by working through something relatively low-key but super interesting and pausing to deal with any emotions that come up hmm

I suspect math fear involves one’s beliefs about what math is, what it requires. I overcame math fear by deriving a bunch of deep learning, and finally coming to the realization that math is just another language to learn, like French, and not something only geniuses understand.
