Why does boredom feel so uncomfortable now? And why do we avoid it at all costs?

In this episode, we unpack why boredom has become almost intolerable in modern life - and what our brains are actually doing when we reach for our phones, snacks, scrolling, or anything to escape stillness. We talk habit loops, dopamine, discomfort, and why "just sit with it" feels impossible for so many of us.

We also challenge the idea that boredom is something to fix - and explore how tolerating small moments of boredom might actually help with emotional regulation, focus, and breaking unwanted habits.

Low pressure. No shame. Just two therapists getting curious about why doing nothing feels so hard.
