In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the frustration aversion paradox and the concept of "double trouble," which are closely related to the phenomenon of procrastination. He explains that procrastination, often viewed as a practical problem, is actually fueled by emotional disturbance stemming from the frustration aversion paradox and the tendency to become frustrated about one's frustrations. Dr. Kashey highlights the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and urgency, emphasizing that while feelings increase urgency, thoughts direct and redirect those feelings. He argues that addressing procrastination through methods like checklists and calendars can worsen the issue, as it fails to address the underlying emotional disturbance. Instead, he suggests tuning frustration tolerance and auditing belief systems as more effective approaches.
