The Truth About Stress: When It Helps, When It Hurts & How to Respond Better


The Truth About Stress: When It Helps, When It Hurts & How to Respond Better

Stress is usually seen as something we need to eliminate. But is all stress really harmful?

In this insightful episode of the Counsel India Podcast, Bobby Thakur, CEO of Counsel India, speaks with Dr. Shishir Palsapure, Founder of Morphicminds, about the psychology of stress, anxiety, negative emotions, and human behaviour.

The conversation explores how a certain level of stress can sometimes push us to prepare better, take action, and work toward our goals. However, when stress becomes intense or prolonged, it can begin to affect our emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and everyday functioning.

The podcast also discusses an important psychological perspective: while we may not always have complete control over the thoughts or emotions that arise within us, we can learn to become more aware of them and make healthier choices about how we respond.

From understanding the emotions behind overthinking—such as fear, guilt, or shame—to learning how our behaviour influences the way we manage difficult situations, this conversation offers practical insights for anyone who wants to understand stress more deeply.

This episode is especially valuable for psychology students, aspiring counsellors, working professionals, educators, and anyone interested in emotional well-being and personal growth.
