Why you struggle to make decisions
The consequences of our chronic indecisiveness 
Perfection and indecision 
Choice overload 
A fear of failure 
How to overcome your indecisiveness using the 80/20 rule
The 'trusted advisor' method

The term “Stockholm Syndrome” is used to explain why someone might defend, protect, or feel attached to a person who has harmed them - but why does this happen? In this bonus episode, we explore where the term came from, some famous cases, and how the mind functions to keep us safe.

We explore:
•        The 1973 bank robbery
•        Famous cases linked to Stockholm syndrome
•        The role of appeasement
•        How it relates to trauma bonding
•        Why dependence breeds attachment
•        How those experiencing Stockholm syndrome are supported

446. The psychology of Stockholm Syndrome

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b3dedefc-c059-4887-8ff3-b4a100fc9e13/transcript

Tips for nervous system regulation are everywhere right now - from breathwork and cold plunges to conversations about burnout, anxiety, and trauma. But what does it actually mean to be regulated, and are we sometimes turning healing into another thing to obsess over? In this episode, we take a grounded, research-informed look at what your nervous system is really trying to do, why fight-or-flight is not the enemy, and how stress, trauma, lifestyle, and hypersensitivity can shape the way we feel in our bodies.

We explore:
•        What the window of tolerance can teach us about overwhelm and shutdown
•        Why your nervous system is trying to protect you
•        The role of trauma, chronic stress, and lifestyle factors in dysregulation
•        What a regulated nervous system can actually feel like 
•        How hypersensitivity can keep us stuck in symptom-monitoring
•        Why sleep, safety, nourishment, connection, and routine matter more than expensive wellness tools
