Ep# 171: Call Out the BS
Manage episode 406604603 series 2948843
In this episode Dr. Kashey continues his exploration of frustration, offering a more concrete definition and framework for understanding this complex phenomenon. He examines dictionary definitions, leveraging his scientific background to arrive at a more precise conceptualization - frustration as an event or "stimulus" when we are obstructed from getting what we want. Dr. Kashey outlines how our appraisal and beliefs surrounding the frustration influence our reactions, potentially eliciting destructive emotions and behaviors which only compound the problem. He introduces the idea of "frustration tolerance" one's capacity to respond rationally despite perceived obstacles. He argues that when distortions cause us to exaggerate the frustration, it exceeds our frustration tolerance, making constructive action unlikely.
