In Our Nature

'Catastrophising' Is The Brain's Love Language


Listen Later

If your brain is always hurling itself toward the Worst Possible Outcome with no regard for likelihood, reason or reality, then HIGH FIVE my friend! You have a healthy, normal brain.

Come and explore: 

  • How predicting the worst possible thing was a key driver in the evolution of our entire species 
  • Catastrophising and doom-forecasting are normal....but totally suck
  • Learn about the amazing way us humans are designed to suffer a lot less when it comes to this stuff 
  • Seeing something new about our true nature can connect us back to peace 
  • Is Anxious Alice stepping on Siobhán's toes? 
  • Does every other country apart from New Zealand have the Door Dash service?

What's your relationship style...with your brain? Take the quiz at siobhanfriel.com/quiz
