#13 Who Are You Without Your Coping Mechanisms? The Psychology of How We Get Through Life
from Life Happens* · host Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst
Are your coping mechanisms actually part of your personality—and what would you be like without them? Listen now to the latest episode of ‘Life Happens*’, where hosts Michelle R Williams and Nick Hirst explore the psychology behind the habits and behaviours we rely on to navigate stress, relationships, and everyday life. Why do we develop coping mechanisms? Where do they come from? And are they helping—or holding us back? What do your coping mechanisms say about you? Are you an over-thinker… an avoider… an optimist… or something else entirely? Nick and Michelle took a psychology quiz to find out — and the results sparked a surprisingly honest conversation about how we all cope with life, stress, and everything in between.
