Understanding Maladaptive Coping and Its Impact on Addiction and Stress

Coping mechanisms are healthiest when they are adapted to your current life situation and thought about, reflected on, so you can discern what is working for you and what is not working for you.
Why do some people turn to substances when life gets tough? In this episode of The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti dives into the world of maladaptive coping mechanisms. She explains how our childhood experiences and emotional responses can shape our adult behaviors, sometimes leading us down a path of addiction and stress. Lynn breaks down various defense mechanisms and self-harming behaviors, showing how they can distance us from the connections we crave.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Lynn also offers practical advice on how to adapt our coping strategies to better suit our current lives. By learning to manage our emotions and heal our minds, we can build stronger relationships and grow personally. Tune in to hear Lynn's insights and start your journey toward healthier coping mechanisms.
