The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers

When stress becomes overwhelming


Listen Later

Ever felt like life's stressors are pushing you toward a breaking point?

When stress accumulates, our brain and nervous system can interpret it as mortal danger, leading to a shutdown called the freeze response.
I've got a hack to break the freeze response and regain control when you're drowning in stress.
There are two primary reasons humans do things:
1. to avoid punishment
2. gain rewards
Rewards are much more effective motivators than punishment. In this episode, I'm showing you the power of rewards over punishment.
