You've probably heard the saying "The straw that broke the camel's back". 

We all have our 'last straws'; the things that send us into crash-outs for absolutely no reason at all. We bet you're thinking about yours now! We often never even think twice about them after they're over. Except...what if we told you that there actually *are* reasons they happen, and they can teach you something?

Today, using Joyce as a case study, we're discussing ours - from hangers getting stuck in closets to fitted sheets NEVER fitting to having your day ruined by a pair of ill-fitting denim - and why they push our buttons.

We chat about how to figure out the root cause of our rage-fests, why we get mad at the 'thing' and never at ourselves, how to learn to take a pause, and the role social conformity plays when we're on the verge of losing it.

About Your Hosts:

Beth is a licensed, Ph.D. clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience treating patients of all ages.

Joyce is a millennial just trying to figure it all out.
