Registration for Launch 2023 is now CLOSED 🌟 https://bit.ly/launch2024 👈 Get on the waitlist for the 2024 Launch with Mel Robbins! 🚀 — When it comes to dealing with #stress, best-selling psychotherapist and researcher Harriet Lerner says that being an underfunctioner or an overfunctioner is your patterned response to dealing with the alarm in your body. An overfunctioner like me allows the alarm in my body to take over in stressful situations, becoming triggered and #anxious. And the only way to calm the alarm is to bark orders, manage the phone calls, organize the activities, make the appointments, plan the meals, and take on all the responsibilities because it gives me a sense of control. It may be my superpower, but it also makes me a royal pain in the a$$ and takes away the chance for Chris to feel empowered. The way Chris deals with stress is more chill and very methodical, which frustrates the hell out of me. Listen today as we work through these two different ways of dealing with a #stressful family situation so that you can understand your own approach better and, more importantly, how to ask for what you need from others before you drive them nuts. And if you’re ready to take the next right step to live your life with more confidence and no regrets, this is your time. Sign up for my exclusive signature course, Launch with Mel Robbins.
