In this podcast, Dr. Kashey talks about stimulus and response, stating that in the space between stimulus and response lies a circular interaction between thoughts, feelings, and urges that trigger you to respond. The distance between the stimulus and response can be reduced if the thinking problems and rigid beliefs are replaced with rational beliefs. To show how humans respond to provocation, he shares four categorical outcomes of the Pesky Space model: gratefulness, demand, resilience, and dissatisfaction, all based on results and outlooks with rational and irrational thinking. He further states that if you want to eliminate all that self-sabotaging garbage, you must think and act purposefully and aggressively in conflict with those things, literally think and act against them over and over and over aggressively, violently, stubbornly persistently.
