TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

ways that I like to think about is when you're going through a difficult experience like stress and you're experiencing that stress paradox that we just spoke about, Michael, you and everyone else, including me and Whitney and all of us talking today.

You know, the first thing to do is to normalize and validate this difficult experience because that automatically makes you feel better.

And so I want to share a kind of idea with you that your brain is like a dam and all of us, the human brain is like a dam.

So think back to 2020.

We don't have to talk about it.

It was the pandemic.

We all had individual and collective stressors.

And so what happens when you're feeling a sense of acute threat or stress, and likely we're feeling that again now, what happens is you shore up your internal reserves.

You keep it together at all costs.

And that's what I would see a lot of times.

My patients would come in, patients with cancer, they would be referred to me to help manage their stress.

And they would say, yeah, I have a cancer diagnosis.

They'd be doing chemotherapy, radiation, and they were stoic.

you know, like completely fine.

And they'd be like, I'm great.

I'm fine doc.

They would come see me regularly.

I'm doing great.

They would get the clean bill of health from their oncologist.

Congratulations, your cancer is clear.
