Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 198: Movies Contain Junk FoodIn this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about a scientific study by researchers at Stanford University that analyzed the representation of food and drinks in popular movies. The study found that the on-screen diets portrayed in these movies vastly differed from the USDA nutrition guidelines, featuring low-fiber, high-sodium, and an abundance of unhealthy treats, such as candies, chips, desserts, and alcoholic beverages. Dr. Kashey highlights that many of these movies were rated PG-13 or lower, indicating that children were exposed to these unrealistic dietary representations.

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 192: Training Your Frustration ToleranceIn this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the importance of discriminating between frustrations that are worth addressing and those that can be ignored. He emphasizes that it is reasonable to live with some open loops, hassles, and mysteries in life, and attempting to resolve all of them can lead to a feeling of solving none. Dr. Kashey introduces the concept of "discrimination" or "distinguishing" as a powerful tool for preserving one's precious frustration tolerance. He explains that by identifying the frustrating stimulus, appraising and reappraising it, creating space between stimulus and response, responding constructively, learning from the results, and...2024-08-0910 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 191: Do You Have the DumbIn this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about frustration tolerance and how it plays a crucial role in managing frustrations effectively. He explains that frustration tolerance is the ability to think rationally and stay composed while experiencing frustrating situations. Dr. Kashey emphasizes that frustrations are inevitable, but it's our appraisal of these events that determines whether they become minor inconveniences or major problems. He discusses the importance of cultivating a flexible and reasonable belief system about frustrations, as this allows for a deeper well of tolerance and a longer space between stimulus and response. Dr. Kashey suggests that by reappraising...2024-08-0209 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 190: The Boy and the FilbertsIn this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the importance of frustration tolerance and how it relates to the well-known Aesop's fable, "The Boy and the Filberts." He uses the tale as an illustrative example to demonstrate how rigid belief systems and a lack of frustration tolerance can lead to irrational and impulsive behaviors. Dr. Kashey explains that the boy's inability to let go of his dire need for the filberts, coupled with his black-and-white thinking, caused him to lose his rational mind and become stuck in a self-perpetuating cycle of frustration. Dr. Kashey emphasizes that building frustration tolerance is...2024-07-2613 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 188: Stress is so FrustratingIn this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the concept of stress, particularly chronic stress, and its relationship with frustration. He explains that stress is a biological response to perceived threats or demands, rather than the cause itself. Dr. Kashey discusses how people often misuse the term "stress" to refer to stressors or frustrating stimuli, which can lead to emotional disturbances and subsequent biological stress responses. He introduces the STFU (Stimulus, Thinking, Feeling, Urging) model to illustrate how frustrating stimuli can trigger a cyclical interaction between thoughts, feelings, and urges, potentially leading to a stress response. Dr. Kashey emphasizes that...2024-07-1910 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 189: ANGER.In this episode, Dr. Kashey talks about the concept of frustration and annoyance, and how they can lead to anger if not managed properly. He explains that frustrations arising from the operational domain (being able to do what one wants) and the fairness domain (getting what one deserves) are particularly prone to causing annoyance. Dr. Kashey discusses how annoyance generates a sense of urgency, leading people to act impulsively and irrationally, often escalating the situation instead of resolving it. He uses the STFU (Stimulus, Thinking, Feeling, Urging) model to break down how frustrating stimuli trigger thoughts, feelings, and urges...2024-07-1215 min

He explores the concept of "provocation" and how it relates to motivation, explaining that feelings are the primary drivers of behavior and urgency. Dr. Kashey emphasizes the importance of integrating rational thinking with feelings, as relying solely on one or the other can lead to either impulsivity or inaction. He introduces the STFU model (Stimulus, Thinking, Feeling, Urging) and explains how feelings generate the urgency or motivation to act, while rational thinking helps direct that motivation towards smart or dumb actions. Dr. Kashey...2024-06-2110 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 183: I'll Start (Again) MondayIn this episode, Dr. Kashey challenges common notions about the true nature of frustration. Rather than an emotion, he frames frustration as an event obstructing our progress. When frustrations happen, the thoughts and feelings they provoke drive our reactions. While the phrase "I'm frustrated" expresses upset, Dr. Kashey argues feeling so is a choice, not an inherent feature of frustrations. Though they thwart desires, overcoming frustrations builds perseverance and leads to fulfillment. Lack of appropriate frustration causes misery through boredom. Yet when we automatically see frustrations negatively, it becomes the justification for distress - a self-imposed barrier to happiness...2024-06-0713 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 182: Procrastinators Unite! (...Later)In this episode, Dr. Kashey explores the second type of frustration aversion leading to the "frustration aversion paradox" procrastination, or as he calls it, "frustration aversion by delay." Dr. Kashey explains when frustration tolerance is low or frustration sensitivity high, people become highly impulsive and likely to make poor decisions. He argues that procrastination occurs when you imagine some future frustration, tell yourself an anxious narrative about needing to avoid failure, and thus create real emotional frustration in the present. To escape this, you avoid the task entirely as a "purposeful delay" and distraction. Dr. Kashey outlines how this...2024-05-3111 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 181: Why Bother?In this episode, Dr. Kashey dives deeper into the psychology of frustration, analyzing the dysfunctional ways we often respond to frustrating situations. He highlights two common but distorted coping mechanisms "out of sight, out of mind" and "out of mind, out of sight." Though temporarily effective at avoiding frustration, Dr. Kashey explains how these tactics inevitably backfire, fueling the "frustration version paradox." Dr. Kashey reveals the absurdity in believing frustrations simply disappear if ignored or only exist when acknowledged. He keenly highlights our tendency to respond reflexively to frustrations with rhetorical "why bother" questions and meaningless "face noises" rather...2024-05-2410 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 180: Drugs and SnacksIn this episode, Dr. Kashey unravels the psychology behind our dysfunctional relationships with sex, drugs, and snacks. He keenly explains how suppression fuels obsession, with restriction intensifying rather than lessening compulsive desires. Dr. Kashey then insightfully exposes the false equivalencies people construct between food and substances, whether cookie butter is "crack" or trigger foods are forbidden fruit. He argues that we always associate mere snacks with dangerous powers they do not inherently possess. Dr. Kashey says that enjoyment in eating is natural when we are truly hungry. It is only when we seek empty sensory gratification, indulging cravings from...2024-05-1724 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 179: Just Make it Through the DayIn this episode, Dr. Kashey shares a vulnerable post from Huggy, who opens up about his struggles with severe depression and suicidal thoughts.

With honesty and humor, Dr. Kashey talks about Huggy's struggle with depression, arguing that thinking clearly and knowing yourself can help when life is hard. From Huggy's experience, Dr. Kashey tells us: Think logically, find humor...2024-05-1013 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 177: The Frustration Aversion ParadoxIn this episode, Dr. Kashey explores the concept of the frustration paradox, a comedic exploration of why avoiding life's frustrations often leads to intensifying them.

Through humor and relatable narratives, he explains the futility of attempting to sidestep frustrations entirely, drawing parallels from popular culture, including the iconic sitcom Seinfeld. Dr. Kashey provides insightful observations on the human condition, revealing how the pursuit of frustration-free living paradoxically...2024-04-2608 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 174: All or NothingIn this extensive and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Kashey dives deeper into chronic frustrations - ongoing obstacles that spill across major life domains. He begins by reiterating the fundamental concepts of frustration, distinguishing between discrete and chronic frustrations, and highlighting their impact on the four domains of operational, emotional, achievement, and fairness. Using the common example of long term overfatness, he outlines how constant physical and emotional disruption propagates failures in achievement and perceived unfairness. Dr. Kashey explains how exacerbating factors like rigid "all-or-nothing" thinking and unrealistic expectations put people in a "cognitive grinder" of self-perpetuating failure. He colorfully depicts t...2024-04-0517 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 170: Managing Frustration With STFUIn this episode, Dr. Kashey continues examining the powerful effect frustration has on our lives. Looking closely at the many ways people react to frustrating situations, he underscores how our beliefs shape our responses, which in turn determine what happens next. Urging self-reflection, Dr. Kashey argues we have more control over outcomes than we think, if we take responsibility for how we initially respond. He offers the acronym STFU to break down the response process - first, identify the frustrating Stimulus; then your Thoughts and Feelings about it, which inform your Urge to act. Monitoring this reaction process fosters...2024-03-0810 min

Driven by his mission to understand and mitigate the impact of frustration on our lives, Dr. Kashey revisits critical concepts such as "double trouble," where encountering frustration becomes permission for self-inflicted frustration, often leading to destructive outcomes. The significance of the space between stimulus and response takes center stage, focusing on the influential role of one's belief system (BSU) in shaping cognitive and behavioral responses. Dr. Kashey explains the four...2024-03-0111 min

Today, Dr Kashey focuses on the 3 internal systems: your beliefs, your decisions, and your urges. Dr. Kashey explains how these internal systems interact with one another, and how they contribute to influencing what you do. This is important because what you do ultimately affects whether, and how, you either solve your problems, or make them worse when you are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or discouraged.

Dr. Kashey reviews the ADAPT framework, noting that clients are fine to combine steps because the system is written like so for learning purposes but does flow together. 2022-09-1620 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 91: Is Your Environment a Product of You!?When life is stressful, we think we need to wait until things calm down, causing us to do nothing and procrastinate forever until life is “perfect” again. This mental roadblock becomes our pass to do nothing about all those problems causing the stress. People who feel overwhelmed and stressed tell themselves they've lost control, so they even give up control over everything causing them stress. In many cases, we even give up on doing things that lower stress! In today's Coffee With Kashey episode, Dr. Trevor Kashey encourages us to look back at previous times of stress.

Dr. Kashey teaches us how to stop this problematic spiral and redirect our focus so that we can find answers. While finding the root of the problem seems to be widely accepted advice, Dr. Kashey argues that digging into the past may actually hinder us from facing the problem in the present in addition to giving an excuse for procrastination.

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 70: Dr. Kashey's Hierarchy Of Constructive Eating: NoveltyFollowing multiple episodes of discussing Dr. Kashey’s Constructive Eater’s Hierarchy, it’s finally time to explore the “tippy top” - Novelty. Dr. Kashey defines food novelty as “the use of food as an instrument to improve your subjective well-being beyond the scope of your nutritional status." In light of the hierarchy, novelty sits atop getting enough food, creating structured feeding, balancing food groups, and trying a variety of foods. Instead of viewing food as merely practical energy, novelty allows us to explore and experiment and be creative with food. It’s exciting! Adults learning how to eat constructively mimics childre...2022-03-2514 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp# 69: Dr. Kashey’s Hierarchy Of Constructive Eating: VarietyDr. Kashey believes that increasing your food’s variety can help push your food satisfaction and contentment up while keeping your cravings and eating impulses low. More options also improve the likelihood of eating the right things while simultaneously decreasing the risks associated with eating the wrong things. After all, too much of one thing is bad for you. Variety builds on this Balance and finds itself to be the fourth step in Dr. Kashey’s Hierarchy of Constructive Eating, and it has a lot to do with identifying and addressing your food acceptance issues rather than hyper-focusing on your desi...2022-03-1814 min

While this is the proper path to growing your eating competence, Dr. Kashey acknowledges that sticking to this concept by the book is likely to be difficult in practice, especially with concepts like The Paycheck Phenomenon robbing us of our ability to govern our mealtimes. With this understanding in mind, Dr. Kashey introduces an easy-to-follow, natural, and even automatic method to get yo...2022-03-0415 min

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #62: Restrained Eating Vs Disciplined Eating
Restraint versus discipline. What’s the difference? Dr. Kashey explains restraint as the mind and body working against each other, while discipline is the mind and body working with each other. Restraining what you eat requires a lot of focus on exactly what to eat, but takes away the joy of actually enjoying your food. Prolonged restraint can also cause a person to be chaotic in their actions, which shows a discrepancy between values and behaviors. Rather than being too restrictive with our eating habits, Dr. Kashey instead explores the benefits of disciplined eating, which gives us the freedom to...2022-01-2813 min

In a continuation of Dr. Kashey’s series on “how and why the brain is wired to be lazy, oversimplify, and what you can do about it,” he now discusses the subject of outcome bias. Outcome bias is when someone judges the validity of a decision or person based on the outcome rather than judging the validity of the decision itself and the reason, logic, and evidence on which the decision was based. This unfortunately can lead to an unfair opinion of a person. Dr. Kashey believes we deserve more respect than that. In this episode, Dr. Kashey...2022-01-2117 min

Dr. Kashey believes that mentorship is the most collaborative platonic relationship you will ever have. A mentor doesn’t only teach you what to think, but also how to think and why you are thinking it. Studies show that when the mentor/protege relationship clicks, the protege has 200% to 400% greater levels of achievement. Through modeling, collaborating, and providing consistent feedback, a mentor plays a very important role in an individual’s life. While they are an experienced veteran in the field, they still maintain a close personal relationship with their protege and use everything they’ve learned to develop their...2022-01-0713 min
Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #58: "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger"
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!” Dr. Kashey closely scrutinizes this phrase and observes how it affects people. The damaging, perfectionistic standards that this romanticized saying sets can lead to someone feeling guilt and shame. While challenging experiences do strengthen our resilience response, it wouldn’t make sense to invite pain, inconvenience, and other unnecessary challenges into our lives just for the sake of getting “stronger.” Self-efficacy is strengthened by choosing to confront challenges rather than being forced to face challenges. The end result of tough experiences or events in our lives should lead to healthy recovery and a good a...2021-12-3115 min

Dr. Kashey believes that acting assertively is essential for getting what you need while maintaining a synchronous relationship with your environment and the people in it. Feeling guilty or selfish for needing something and being worried about another person’s response are the major roadblocks to being assertive. Dr. Kashey addresses both of these roadblocks and shares a step-by-step process on how to turn your wishbone into a backbone. Self-respect, accepting mistakes, separating need and want, understanding that others think and feel differently, and sticking up for yourself are all things we can do to practice assertiveness.

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #56: How to Beat Decision Traps
Dr. Kashey understands that decision-making can be an intense endeavor. To make it easier on us, he shares the top three traps and how not to fall for them.

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #55: How to Go From Delicate To Resilient
Dr. Kashey deconstructs resilience. Upon studying someone displaying resilience through a tough situation, you may wonder if they were born that way or if it is a learned skill. Good news for everyone – resilience can be taught, practiced, and therefore strengthened! Anything from everyday common inconveniences to real-world traumatic experiences will require a person’s resilience to make it through. Depending on the circumstances, the amount of resilience a person has can differ. While an individual can exhibit a lot of resilience in one area of life, that same person can also feel particularly weak and less than resilient in o...2021-12-1012 min

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #52: Identify Your Procrastination Personality
Procrastination: the 3-headed monster. Anxiety, boredom, and rebellion are the three main causes of procrastination, according to Dr. Kashey. He explains that there are many different types of “procrastinalities,” such as perfectionists, grand architects, worrywarts, contrarians, doormats, and others. Each procrastinality type has at least this one thing in common: they can find a way to justify putting off a task until tomorrow. But alas, tomorrow is always tomorrow. Dr. Kashey reminds us that we should treat ourselves better than constantly breaking promises to our future selves via procrastination.

Coffee With Dr. KasheyEp #50: What Leverage Persistence Means
Dr. Kashey revisits his definition of violence: “using brain force to influence change,” and his definition of brain force, which is “focus times intervention times persistence.” Focusing on the persistence part of the equation, Dr. Kashey goes into depth about persistence and why it’s important. Persistence is the length of continuous effort – keeping at it, continuing on, working through roadblocks, assessing and addressing self-sabotage, escaping and avoiding traps, and various other real-life distractions. It is vital for health and fitness goals, but sometimes it can be hard to persist due to getting thrown off course, choosing rebellion, or not knowing...2021-11-0515 min

It makes sense to sit when physically exhausted; but when mentally exhausted, studies show that people are more likely to stand up and/or fidget. Dr. Kashey encourages us to shift our minds from wondering “How to sit less often” to asking ourselves “Why am I sitting so often?” Nowadays, more and more people are aware of the fact that standing and moving should be a priorit...2021-10-0813 min
