In this episode, Dr. Kashey discusses the difference between doing things not to die and doing things to live genuinely and fully. Kashey shares the story of Linda, one of his clients who struggled significantly with her negative thoughts. When she became a client, she started working on the SRO model. The S stands for "stimulus," or the things that happen TO you and what YOU make happen. For the things that happen to you, these will be the big physical things that impact what your body does. Sometimes, this may be an occurrence in your body. In other cases, these may be drug-related. Either way, your brain bypasses the understanding stage entirely. For the stuff you make happen, these are the responses you incur by responding to the stimuli around you. For Linda, all she needed to pay attention to and work on was the stimulus part of SRO.
