 Coping in an Age of Chaos: Understanding Adaptive StrategiesIn this episode, host Leslie Poston digs into the multifaceted science of coping amidst today’s turbulent world. With constant exposure to political violence, environmental disasters, and social instability, many struggle to maintain mental well-being. Leslie explores the psychology behind coping, referencing the work of Richard Lazarus, Susan Folkman, and Bruce McEwen on stress responses. She discusses the roles of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping and addresses the dangers of chronic stress and learned helplessness. The episode examines how relational resilience, communal support, and collective activities can bolster coping mechanisms. Leslie also critiques the misapplication of resilience as an individual trait while highlighting its dependence on supportive environments. Listeners are encouraged to develop self-awareness, engage in mutual aid, and cultivate positive emotions as pivotal strategies for adaptive coping.00:00 Introduction: Navigating a Chaotic World01:33 Understanding the Psychology of Coping04:02 Stress Responses and Allostatic Load06:33 Coping Strategies: The Good, The Bad, and The Misunderstood10:28 The Political Implications of Learned Helplessness12:06 Resilience: Beyond the Buzzword14:57 The Power of Social Connection and Collective Coping18:29 Building Sustainable Coping Strategies23:49 Conclusion: The Radical Act of Self-CareResearchAbrutyn, S.
