In this episode Dr. Kashey further classifies frustrations into "discrete" and "chronic" varieties. Drawing from his expertise and humor, he paints a vivid picture of how these frustrations manifest in our lives and affect our overall well-being. Discrete frustrations are temporary obstructions best handled by rationally assessing the situation and responding deliberately. He emphasizes the importance of rational and deliberate responses to such frustrations, urging listeners to adopt constructive approaches in resolving them. However, chronic frustrations encompass entire life domains, manifesting as a pervasive sense of being overwhelmed. Dr. Kashey explains how "double trouble" - obsessing over minor issues - distracts us from addressing chronic frustrations. Using colorful metaphors, he likens this to bypassing a blocked artery or ignoring "the elephant in the room." He argues that discrete frustrations call for examining what constructive actions to take, while chronic frustrations require re-evaluating how we live.
