Ep107| Harmful Coping Mechanisms - What They Are And How to Overcome Them

In this episode of *Happy Without Medicine*, I’m exploring coping mechanisms... what they are, why we rely on them, and how they can sometimes hold us back. From caffeine dependence to procrastination and workaholism, I’ll dive into how these habits often stem from deeper emotional triggers. I’ll also explain how our brains reinforce these patterns, making them feel like an unchangeable part of our identity. More importantly, I’ll share practical steps to identify harmful coping mechanisms, challenge the beliefs driving them, and create healthier habits. This is about understanding ourselves better and making intentional changes to live happier, more fulfilling lives.Enjoy the episode!
