In this episode, Dr. Kashey continues examining the powerful effect frustration has on our lives. Looking closely at the many ways people react to frustrating situations, he underscores how our beliefs shape our responses, which in turn determine what happens next. Urging self-reflection, Dr. Kashey argues we have more control over outcomes than we think, if we take responsibility for how we initially respond. He offers the acronym STFU to break down the response process - first, identify the frustrating Stimulus; then your Thoughts and Feelings about it, which inform your Urge to act. Monitoring this reaction process fosters rational, purposeful responses. Blending ideas from conversations with an investigative journalist, Dr. Kashey provides practical tips for managing frustration and responding constructively, not destructively.
