Good afternoon, everyone. It is Dr. Nagra again with our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. As always,

it's kind of the highlight of my week or the beginning of the week, getting a chance to come

into your homes and your lives and impart whatever wisdom that myself or Julie has to share.

It's been a very humbling experience for me doing this.

I've never thought it would grow to the level and degree to which it has

and just completely blessed and blown away by how far people travel.

Great distances internationally for consultations with me or for me to do full neuropsych

value. So from the bottom of my heart, a deep gratitude. I can't say enough. I really look forward

to doing this. And we will do our best to eliminate the

chopping in the background. So I think Julie is somewhere else, so it should be quiet

for a while, unless she decides to pop on. So I'm solely figuring out Instagram. I will give

you guys contact information how to get a hold of me um so today's topic uh we're going to focus on

a problematic coping strategies um you know coping is a pretty broad term but it's something that

all of us do whether it's adaptive or maladaptive,

to buffer ourselves against the difficult things that come to us in life, life experiences,

and whether that's depression, the loss of a loved one, a failed marriage, anxiety, anticipation.

So, you know, there are adaptive ways to cope, like exercise and meditation and, you know,

progressive muscle relaxation.

But I'm going to go through, I've made, again, this is maybe the fifth episode.

I think I made some notes.

I know where it was, but I've made notes, actually.

The heart part is going to be going to be if I can actually read my writing, which is a problem.
