Alcohol has several benefits in the short term for people with Type C traits - it can help us feel emotions like stress and guilt less intensely, and it can create a feeling of distance from challenging situations and other stressors. It can help us make time for ourselves - which is such a struggle when sober - and it can help us be more expressive and more assertive. In this episode, Kore and Anna discuss alcohol as a coping mechanism and offer strategies to help.
