Show Notes

Very few of us ever receive an education on coping. We are taught bad things happen, we are taught pointless math equations, we are taught to grin and bear it, but not effective psychological ways of integrating stressful, painful, frustrating experiences. In this episode, we break down the psychology of coping mechanisms, including: 

  • Problem focused vs. emotion focused coping
  • Maladaptive vs. adaptive coping 
  • Our most common defence mechanisms 
  • How to stop numbing ourselves to our experiences 
  • How to consciously deal with hard things in life 
  • Our coping statements 
  • Freud, Carl Jung and many more 

Listen now for a comprehensive deep dive into coping in your 20s and beyond.
