Welcome to the Season 4 of our podcast!
Today we get stressed. We get all kinds of stress. Can it be good? Bad? Both? How addicted are you to stress? Is it something that gets you motivated? How much impact on perception of stress has your growing up had? We discuss all those questions and more - looking at our own personal experience and asking even more questions.
In this episode, Mike and Yuen discuss stress: what it is, how it affects us, and whether or not it can be addictive.
We start by defining stress as the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure. We then discuss the different types of stress, such as acute stress (which is short-term and usually caused by a specific event) and chronic stress (which is long-term and often caused by ongoing problems).
Join us to find out more!
Look out for the episodes landing every Wednesday!
We feel very grateful that you decided to spend some time with us. Enjoy Season 4!

Welcome to the THIRD season of The Imperfect Clinician!
Does everyone sacrifice something in life? Is our life a one big sacrifice? Small or big - sacrifices prevent us from maintaining status quo and push us to the new, often Uncharted Waters. What about guilt? Regret? They often follow too. Can we sacrifice more consciously? More willingly? Do we have to sacrifice anything? Find out with us in this week's episode.

How often do you put others ahead of yourself? Could self-compassion be an answer to happier you? Mike and Yuen attempts a deep dive into the sea of self-love.
