Join Paul Berkes and Paul Hambrick as they explore the distinction between coping with suffering and building capacity through it. It’s not enough to be aware of your thoughts and feelings; we need to expand our window of tolerance to overcome adversity. Join Paul and Paul as they delve into an essential conversation about the difference between merely coping with suffering and developing resilience through it. Coping can often mean getting through tough times without fully addressing the underlying issues; however, building resilience involves actively transforming our experiences into opportunities for growth.

Both awareness of our thoughts and feelings and the ability to confront and process them are key components of this journey. While recognizing our emotional states is a critical first step, it isn’t sufficient on its own. To truly overcome adversity, we need to work on expanding our window of tolerance. This concept refers to our ability to manage stress and adversity. We can navigate challenges with greater ease and strength when we broaden this capacity.

Join this enlightening discussion to learn practical strategies for enhancing resilience and transforming your relationship with suffering. It’s about more than just survival; it’s about thriving in the face of life’s difficulties. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Zecqbi50fUv3YFpOTnrVG?si=DBuOMA9xTzWkM1gzxFcGEQ

In this podcast episode, licensed counselors Paul Berkes, Paul Hambrick, and Frederick Gillam Jr. discuss the importance of community support and self-care, particularly for helping professionals. The conversation emphasizes the challenges of helping others and the stigma surrounding seeking help, highlighting that even leaders can struggle with these issues. With impactful questions from moderator Brodee Scott, the counselors explore the idea that leaders often feel pressured to be self-sufficient, neglecting their need to help others.

The discussion also introduced the Shepherds Care Symposium, scheduled for March 3rd.

This dialogue is significant as it addresses the mental health challenges faced by those in caregiving roles. It promotes the idea that seeking help is a strength rather than a weakness.
