279. Do You Have an Adjustment Disorder and Don’t Know It?
Adjustment disorders are basically having excessive reactions to some stress (or stressors) in your life that result in overly strong emotions, increased negative thinking and some sort of change in behavior. The key is that the reaction to this event is way more intense than would typically be expected. As you might imagine, this can cause a lot of problems in your relationships, work or school. Today I’ll teach you what adjustment disorders are, the signs you might have one, and how to treat them (including an amazing free tool you can download).

Shame doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin, rich or poor, tall or short: shame is an equal opportunity emotion and it’s amazingly destructive.

And then what the heck is toxic shame? Today I’m answering all your questions and coming at you with my top tips for recovering from toxic shame.

Jealousy in a moment happens when you perceive someone or something else as a threat to your relationship.

Klantrecensies
Good advice but too much off topic chatter
The advise is really sound and I am learning a lot. But while listening you need to push that 'fast forward' button frequently...so much off topic chatter. It takes about 3min till the actual podcast starts and whenever dr Metcalf gets sidetracked by something from her personal experience, beware: it takes a couple of minutes of fast forwarding till she continues the actual story.
Great advice, scientifically proven!
I love listening to Abby. I learn so much from her! And I also can recommend reading her book!
