5. Where's My Self-Control? - Impulsive Behavior, Self-Harm, Alcohol, Hypersexuality, Emotional Eating, Why We Self-Destruct, and What We Do About It

Update: 2019-06-25

Description

In this episode, Rena and Kim are talking SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR. We hit on all kinds of self-destruction and self-sabotage, from binge drinking to emotional eating to sex to smoking, and we talk about where these behaviors come from for us and get to the root of why we've used them to cope. We talk about the difference between self-destruction and self-sabotage, why we're more comfortable being unhappy, how impulsive behavior influences creativity, when to embrace destructive impulses, how to avoid getting into patterns of self-sabotage, and what we do in the moment when we feel triggered. We also discuss what it feels like to be in the middle of a depressive episode, getting back into good habits and routines, and the mind-body connection.
