029: Buffering the Stress


Listen Later

Caught in a whirlwind of increased eating, shopping, and Netflix bingeing lately? Blame the rapid life changes triggered by the Coronavirus, but hold up – there's more to the story.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of buffering, where your attempts to dodge one emotion lead to a temporary escape through another. Amidst the uncertainty caused by events like COVID-19, buffering offers relief from stress, fear, or overwhelm. Uncover why your urge for comfort food or streaming re-runs isn't due to the pandemic itself, but rather, it's a response within your control.

Tune in as we unpack the psychology of buffering, offering insights into recognizing its signs, embracing negative emotions without evasion, and practicing effective emotional management techniques.

If you're looking to sidestep the 'Quarantine 15' or curb impulsive online shopping, this episode is your guide to mastering your emotional responses.
