Listen Later

When you're stressed or upset, what do you tend to automatically do to comfort yourself? Maybe eating greasy food or scrolling IG for a couple of hours. In this episode, we're going to get honest about our go-to ways to cope with our emotions. We're also going to learn about the psychology of coping mechanisms and why we get hooked on habits that we know are negatively impacting us down the road. Plus we'll find a psychology-backed strategy that may help us switch to healthier coping mechanisms.
