<p>In this episode I discuss the definition of buffering and how it can affect us when we feel overwhelmed or anxious. I talk about how even seemingly positive actions, like working or exercising, can be buffering. I explain how the first step is always awareness. We dive into how our primitive brain knows how to push our buttons and the difference between our primitive brain and our prefrontal cortex. We talk about the definition of an urge, why we have so many of them and how to deal with them. I also discuss why giving into these urges makes it worse for the next time the urge arises.</p> <p><strong>Time Stamps</strong></p> <ul> <li>(01:00) Definition of buffering.</li> <li>(01:25) How buffering affects us during overwhelm or anxiety.</li> <li>(02:36) This difference between our primitive brain and our prefrontal cortex.</li> <li>(04:30) The first step is always awareness.</li> <li>(05:10) The definition of an urge.</li> <li>(06:27) How we override an urge.</li> <li>(08:01) Why we have so many urges. </li> <li>(09:15) Even seemingly positive actions can be buffering. </li> <li>(12:10) How to deal with your urges.</li> </ul> <p>Find more about this episode, including show notes and resources, at <a href="https://www.deannalarsonmd.com/pod-post-ep-1-introduction-and-welcome-copy-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeannaLarsonMD.com</a></p> <p>A <a href="http://hurrdatmedia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hurrdat Media Production</a>.
