Stressproof Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered how you could “toughen up” so that you don’t ever have to feel “bad” again, well, this episode is for you. There’s a nuance we must catch between an emotional reaction vs. an emotional response. An emotional reaction is when we react more to the story in our mind than the fact of what just happened. An emotional response is when we have a natural biological response to what just happened. However, more often than not, most people think that feeling “bad” is a weakness. But, what if feeling upset is absolutely valid? Wouldn’t it be worse if we were apathetic, shut down, or unresponsive? There’s no need to add suffering to pain. Listen now.
