Ever catch yourself suffering through disasters that haven't even happened yet? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of "pre-paining" - that human tendency to experience real emotional distress over imaginary future events.

We'll dive into the difference between healthy worry (which can actually help us prepare) and pre-paining (which just makes us suffer twice). You'll discover why most of our worst experiences are completely fictional, and learn practical strategies to break free from the cycle of advance suffering.
