As I was researching for this episode I discovered the phrase hurry sickness, which I honestly had never heard of before… but once I started reading about it I knew it was all too familiar. Hurry sickness is “characterized by chronic rushing and anxiousness and an overwhelming, persistent sense of urgency — even when there’s no need to be moving so fast.” If you’re somebody who is high-achieving with a Type A personality, you might be able to relate to this. The problem with hurry sickness is that it can result in chronic stress, anxiety, irritability, and negative impacts on your work and relationships. In this episode, we’ll dive more into hurry sickness and how you can cope when everything feels urgent.   In this episode, you will learn: My personal experiences with hurry sickness 6 signs of hurry sickness along with 6 consequences that can result from it 6 tips to help you cope when everything feels urgent   Sources & resources mentioned in episode: 6 Signs You're Dealing With 'Hurry Sickness' (And What To Do About It): https://www.huffpost.com/entry/signs-of-hurry-sickness-how-to-deal_l_6081d78de4b0dff254039874   The 10 Symptoms Of “Hurry Sickness”: https://www.newgroundcounseling.com/blog/hurry-sickness   How to Manage Hurry Sickness: Causes, Effects, Treatment: ****https://www.masterclass.com/articles/hurry-sickness   Todoist: https://calmlycoping.com/todoist*   Why Having High-Functioning Anxiety Leads To Burnout: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/high-functioning-anxiety-and-burnout/   ++++++ Calmly Coping is a self-improvement podcast for overthinkers who struggle with high-functioning anxiety to help you feel more calm, balanced, and confident. ++++++   WATCH THE FREE TRAINING: HOW TO OVERCOME HIGH-FUNCTIONING ANXIETY https://calmlycoping.com/workshop   LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CALM & AMBITIOUS MEMBERSHIP https://www.calmandambitious.com/   *** WORK WITH ME *** My mission is to help you decrease your anxiety, declutter your mind, and say hello to a life of calm and balance.  Learn more about my coaching, therapy, and course offerings below. https://becalmwithtati.com/work-with-me   *** JOIN THE CALMLY COPING GROUP *** The free supportive community for high-achievers with high-functioning anxiety.

“Is it selfish to prioritize yourself? I don’t want other people to view me as being selfish or inconsiderate…” These are the things I hear from so many of my clients and students with high-functioning anxiety because they have been taught that it’s selfish to take care of your needs first and they’re afraid of being viewed in a negative light by others. This perception further perpetuates the belief that your needs don’t matter, that they aren’t important. Let’s dive into this topic so you can learn how to prioritize yourself WITHOUT being selfish.   In this episode, you will learn: Is prioritizing yourself selfish?

In this episode, I spoke with Dr. J.J. Kelly, Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Emotional Intelligence Skills Training Expert & Consultant. In this episode, we discuss Dr. J.J.’s unorthodox approach to treating mental health, including the importance of emotional intelligence and what it is, how to deal with oppression in the mental health system, and how you can improve your mental health by learning skills.   Dr. J.J. Kelly, The Punk Rock Doc, is a licensed clinical psychologist, emotional intelligence skills training expert, and bestselling author of The Holy Shit Series. J.J. is also the CEO & Founder of UnorthoDocs, Inc., a punk alternative to traditional psychotherapy. Dr. Kelly and the unortho “docs” live their lives with the belief that global healing is achieved by teaching people the skills to like themselves.   In this episode, we discuss: All the “-ism’s” and systemic oppression that exist in society also exist in mental health How learning to act according to your own personal values which in turn will make you more confident Why “happy people act right” and how that connects to emotional intelligence How to separate thoughts, emotions, and actions How Dr. J.J. Kelly’s approach to mental health is more about independence and teaching people skills rather than dependency that’s seen in other types of therapy in the mental health system How negative self-talk needs to stop and is normalized too much in society Useful tools in emotional intelligence to help you stop pathologizing yourself … and more!   *Note: there are unbleeped curses in this episode.   Connect with Dr. J.J.
