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

See you in six months.

The next day they'd be in my office weeping.

And it was because they were experiencing that experience of the dam breaking.

And so when you are feeling a sense of stress, acute stress, like all of us are, perhaps now more than ever, we felt that in 2020, but certainly many of us are feeling that particularly now.

You shore up your internal reserves.

You keep it together at all costs.

And then when you feel psychologically safe and that acute threat has passed, that is when the dam breaks and your true emotions can emerge.

And I just want to share that with you, because if you are feeling any of these things like horizonlessness and like, wait a second, society is telling me that we should be feeling great, like we're post-pandemic, everything's great, everything's open.

And yet you don't feel like that.

And so when there's a disconnect between your lived experience and what the world is sending you in terms of messaging, that can feel really challenging.

And so I hope today that we can normalize and validate this difficult experience because we are all feeling it together.

It plays a huge role, Whitney.

I love this question.

Loneliness, you know, let's talk about like, why is it important to feel a sense of connection?

Because I think many of us with that sense of horizonless and our, you know, like,

knowing that the brain is a dam, very much you might feel isolated and alone.

And so when you are feeling a sense of stress, also because of the shame and stigma and taboo around feeling stressed, because we shared the resilience myth, which is like, I'm not stressed, I'm resilient.

People who are resilient don't get stressed.

We know that's a myth now, right?

And so what can you do collectively?
