Mad Rush with Trisha Addicks

Navigating Sorority Rush: Mental Preparation and Coping Strategies


Listen Later

In this episode of the Mad Rush Podcast, host Trisha Addicks discusses the importance of mental and physical preparedness during sorority rush season. She is joined by Rachel Dorneanu, LPC BCC CST, an Individual and Premarital Couples Psychotherapist who provides valuable tools for managing stress, maintaining self-worth, and navigating the emotional rollercoaster of sorority recruitment.

Key topics include the power of affirmations, understanding the window of tolerance, coping with anxiety through techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, and avoiding the trap of comparison. Rachel also advises staying connected to personal values and balancing intuition with people-pleasing tendencies. Listeners are encouraged to have a support system and focus on self-kindness and positivity throughout the rush process.
