Supporting Ourselves Through Political Stress

In a time when the headlines feel relentless and conversations can quickly turn charged, we sit down with therapist Eva Tukuafu for a thoughtful, grounding conversation on navigating political stress. Eva shares practical guidance for staying present, maintaining psychological flexibility, and navigating challenging conversations without losing sight of our values or our relationships. From understanding the difference between healthy boundaries and avoidance, to recognizing how social media overstimulation impacts our nervous systems, the discussion offers approaches rooted in compassion and curiosity.   Listeners will also hear real‑world examples of how to engage meaningfully — whether that’s limiting content consumption, staying open to nuanced viewpoints, or taking value‑aligned action in your community. This episode reminds us that while we can’t control the world around us, we can choose how we show up in it.   Join the conversation to learn supportive ways to care for yourself, hold space for others, and move toward humanity — even when things feel hard.
