In this episode, we'll peek at why scrolling isn't a "willpower" problem, but an exploitation of your brain's reward systems (kinda like slot machines!). We'll cover the neuroscience behind the prefrontal cortex "battling" dopamine loops, and how stress makes it worse. We'll also talk about practical strategies that actually WORK with your brain's design, so you can ditch any guilt and reclaim control. . . . oh hi & welcome to “Not Entirely Unlike Tea” – i’m christine collins & i love...

In this episode, we'll peek at why upsetting news makes our brains go offline (and why it's actually protective). We'll talk about the neuroscience behind choosing "safe" people to seek support from, and the 5 behaviors that signal someone is unsafe to confide in. We'll also cover what actually IS helpful when you need support, and how to be genuinely supportive of others when they ask for it. . . . oh hi & welcome to “Not Entirely Unlike Tea” – i’m christine collins & i l...
