403. How to do hard things (using psychology) 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/47069124-b255-4083-9c97-b42100593ce7/transcript

We’ve all heard the phrase trauma bonding, often used in jest to talk about two people who became friends after meeting in difficult circumstances. But trauma bonding is actually a psychological phenomenon which defines a relationship characterised by an abuser and their target, and a cycle that can be very hard to break out of. In this episode, we unpack the characteristics of a trauma bond, how you can identify if you might be experiencing one, and steps you can take to break away from one.

We explore:
What a trauma bond looks like
Why trauma bonds can happen
What a trauma bond ISN’T
Why trauma bonds can play out in a variety of relationships
How to identify if you are experiencing a trauma bond
Steps you can take to move away from a trauma bond

A few resources to help you if you are struggling with a trauma bond:

402. Why trauma bonding feels so much like love ...

We all want to feel that we fit into a social group. But how does this play out when it comes to trends? From ‘mob wife energy’ to ‘cottagecore’, rapidly-evolving microtrends put more aesthetic-driven content in front of us than ever before, and it can feel hard to keep up. In this episode, we explore the ways that social media, fast fashion and ‘dopamine culture’ can pressure us to buy, how microtrend fatigue is giving way to a new type of self-expression, and how we can healthily navigate our own consumption of microtrends.

We explore:
The 5 stages of a trend, and how microtrends are different
How world events influence microtrends
Why social contagion, social conformity, and individual expression influence our behaviour
Why social media and fast fashion have led to an explosion in microtrends
The role of ‘dopamine culture’ on our brains
Microtrend fatigue, and how ‘vibes’ might be replacing them
When to buy, and when to wait
