5. Let’s Get Friendly with Phoebe - emotional labour, high integrative complexity and boundaries

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/f79788fd-4863-41a1-9bb5-afe201180337/transcript

Weed can be relaxing, funny, creative, and social - until it isn’t. In this episode, we look at what weed is actually doing in the brain, why it can calm one person and overwhelm another, and how it can change from something enjoyable into something we start leaning on for out emotional wellbeing.

We explore:
•        What actually happens to our brains when we’re high
•        What THC and CBD actually are, and how they differ
•        Why weed can make some people anxious, hungry, or more creative
•        When weed becomes less about fun and more about coping, avoidance, or escape
•        How smoking can shape memory, motivation, and everyday connection
•        The signs your relationship with weed might be changing

420. The psychology of weed 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4b3b5a22-3121-46c0-b202-b45400b9b486/transcript

When we’re detached from our emotions, things can feel a little… flat. But though our brain might be trying to protect us from harm, emotionally detaching stops us from being able to appreciate the true richness of life. In this episode, we’ll unpack why emotional blunting occurs, the ways we might be avoiding our true emotions, and look at some ways to actually start to process your emotions.

We explore: 
• Why we’re bad at feeling what we’re feeling 
• The hidden strategies we use to push our emotions away 
• How maladaptive coping mechanisms can cause us long-term harm
• Why most emotions are actually driven by fear 
• How we can more effectively process our emotions

419. How to ACTUALLY process your emotions 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0397411d-2ee4-4fe5-bbdf-b44e0141634c/transcript

Endless studies show that the strength of our relationships is the biggest indicator for our happiness and wellbeing. So when we fall out with a friend, it can feel absolutely devastating, and leave us wondering how to repair and reconnect. In this episode, we explore why friendship break-ups can be more painful than romantic ones, how our ego gets in the way of reconnecting, and ways that we can rebuild a fractured friendship.

We explore: 
• The different types of friendship fallouts
• Why avoiding conflict can actually be a form of control 
• How to reach out after a conflict 
• The importance of recognising when you do - and don’t - want to be friends again 
• Why listening is often the best way to be heard
