S2E20 Drama Club vs Debate Club A Strategic Metaphor
Listen now
Description
I LOVE A METAPHOR! They're some of the best ways for us to convey meaning and embody understanding without a lot of confusion. Enter my own Drama Club vs. Debate Club as a way to help our mindbody navigate the metabolically taxing and cognitive overload of uncertainty. We all have survival strategies, habituated ways of relating to our internal and external sensory world. Our brain has a meaning making mandate which it pursues through the nervous system and cognition to understand the world around it, after all it's encased in a skull, and senses are storytellers of sensemaking. So I've developed a simple and hopefully fun construct of drama club vs. debate club to help you step outside of the endless suffering of overthinking and sensory + emotional avoidance, as well as how to use logic and cognition to help you decrease the stress response that comes with uncertainty, confusion and fear. If we learn to know and love our meta cognitive strategies we can create a welcome foundation for change. Enjoy!
