When stress becomes overwhelming

from The Psychology of Depression and Anxiety - Dr. Scott Eilers · host Scott Eilers

Ever felt like life's stressors are pushing you toward a breaking point? When stress accumulates, our brain and nervous system can interpret it as mortal danger, leading to a shutdown called the freeze response. I've got a hack to break the freeze response and regain control when you're drowning in stress. There are two primary reasons humans do things: 1. to avoid punishment 2. gain rewards Rewards are much more effective motivators than punishment. In this episode, I'm showing you the power of rewards over punishment.
