    Escapism: How and Why Do We Do It?

    Escapism: How and Why Do We Do It?

    Escapism is one of the more common ways in which we choose to deal with our problems. It takes different forms for each of us and can keep us in an endless loop of ignoring our problems hoping by the time we start paying attention to things they'll have gone away. In this episode, our hosts dive into escapism; what it means, and what it looks like in our day-to-day lives. They also explore the different ways in which we can recognize when we're 'hiding' and steps that we can take to deal with our problems actively. Being aware of when and why we're trying to escape our problems can result in us being more present and actually living in the moment rather than just existing for an imagined future. What are the ways in which you escape from your problems? How do you eventually get out of it? Talk to us on social media, find us @btspodcast.

    Why Do People Stay in Abusive Relationships?

    Why Do People Stay in Abusive Relationships?

    This is a common question, especially for people who aren't familiar with the dynamics in abusive relationships. Why is it an insensitive question to ask? Why do people keep going back to/stay with people who abuse them either physically, emotionally, financially, etc.? In this episode, our hosts get into why it's difficult for victims of abuse to break the cycle of abuse and what kind of hold the abuser often has on their victims. Experts say it takes at least seven tries before a victim is able to break free from their abuser. Why do you think people stay? Talk to us on social media, find us @btspodcast_.
