The Secret to Solving the Stress Cycle with Drs Emily and Amelia Nagoski - Dr Rangan Chatterjee
How do you experience stress? Women and
men generally experience stress in very different ways and women are much more
likely to feel overwhelmed and exhausted than men. But why is this? Guests on
this week’s episode, Drs Emily and
Amelia Nagoski believe that the reason lies in the fact that what’s expected of
women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very
different things—and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between
them.
They explain the importance of
separating the stress from the stressor. Stressors
are the external forces that are giving you stress. Stress is an experience
that happens in your body – it’s a physiological cycle that has a beginning, a
middle and an end. And you can complete the stress response cycle even without
fixing the problem and getting rid of the stressor. They explain the various
ways in which we can do this – from laughing and crying to having a warm
embrace with a loved one. We also discuss the importance of human touch and how
imagination is a surprisingly powerful way of completing the stress response
cycle.
Emily and Amelia share their own
personal journeys and share some brilliant tips, that are simpler, easier
and quicker than you may think. This is a really passionate and inspiring
conversation – I hope you enjoy it!
