Alone While Together: Building Frustration Tolerance and Impulse Control
Manage episode 419537346 series 3523527
Alone While Together - Understanding Obstructions to Communication
In this episode I am challenging you to imagine how effective communication begins with the ability to tolerate frustration and delay gratification. Obstructions to communication often arise from low frustration tolerance and poor impulse control. This can lead to impulsive actions and hinder genuine understanding. Slowing down and reflecting, which I demonstrated is not easy, enables clearer expression and deeper connection. Without meaningful communication, loneliness, emotional isolation and deprivation can persist, leading to destructive behaviors and a constant need for stimulation. Genuine connection and communication require curiosity, effort, and the ability to tolerate frustration. This paves the way for "fulfilling" experiences, understanding others, and breaking cycles of emotional deprivation.
