Ep# 167: The Frustration Sensitivity Index

Coffee With Dr. Kashey

In this episode, Dr. Kashey invites listeners to explore frustration and its impact on our lives. With the promise of practical solutions, Dr. Kashey introduces the Frustration Sensitivity index, a tool designed to assess one's presence of mind and build frustration tolerance. Before diving into the index, he emphasizes the importance of understanding frustration as an event rather than a feeling, breaking it into four domains: operational, emotional, fairness, and achievement. Through engaging examples and thought-provoking statements, listeners are encouraged to evaluate their frustration sensitivity and recognize areas where they may be blocked in their pursuits. He discusses the significance of rational and constructive responses, urging listeners to embrace the concept of "good enough" and avoid perfectionistic tendencies.
