We will learn:

  • How brain fog sets a stage for learned helplessness.
  • How to overcome survival mode with emotional awareness.
  • Actionable steps to dealing with brain fog in the moment and long term.

Do you ever experience brain fog?

It’s not technically a medical condition, but it is a set of symptoms that affect your ability to think. And if the cause is lack of sleep or excessive drinking, the cure is simple… not always easy, but simple enough.

But when it comes back to stress, the way out is a little more complicated, because usually, stress isn’t from just one thing. 

We know how much stress affects our health. Or at least you should. It affects every aspect of health, including your susceptibility to disease. But often, we push through anyways because all this shit needs to get done.

So when it starts to shut down your mind too, is that when you’ll finally listen? And if the daily to-dos need to get done regardless, what can we actually do to clear our heads and think better again?

That’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Dr. Jill Weber. She is a clinical psychologist who works with people managing anxiety. She is the author of “Be Calm: Proven Techniques to Stop Anxiety Now” and writes a blog for Psychology Today.
