#42 TDP "Unlearning Hatred" featuring Cassandra - Grace Lauren Taylor

This week we will be discussing how to unlearn hatred and why we use dark humor as a coping mechanism! Claire Brummell is an expert in human behavior, and she says, when we are in a position of 'coping,' it's because one or more of our needs are being compromised in some way.
"It could be a period of intense grief, or overwhelming stress; we might have been through a trauma - the list goes on. So, the things that we use to try to cope are behaviors that we believe, consciously or subconsciously, will either stop those needs from being impacted, or will meet them in some way," she explains.
In the case of dark humor, there are a few needs that people tend to be subconsciously trying to meet when using it as a coping mechanism.
