Leon is a practising psychological therapist, and in his "Psychology Of" clubs, he breaks down, in simple terms, the psychology behind our most human decision-making systems. Why are you the way you are? Why are humans like this? Is it you? Your trauma? Your upbringing? Your experiences? How do all those affect how you see the world and act in it?

 

Let's break down and discuss the Psychology Of Comfort Zones! From the point of view of evolutionary psychology, are comfort zones a way that our brains protect us, hold us back, or both? Why are you comfortable in certain situations and uncomfortable in others? What happens to you, physically and psychologically, when you step out of your comfort zone? Why do some people have far smaller comfort zones than others? Is it a difference in their personalities or their experiences? What dictates what is and isn't in your comfort zone?

 

Let's try to better understand ourselves and those around us. Comfort zones are an essential way to map our existence. We unconsciously stay in them and yet they don't often help us. Let's understand the pros and cons of both staying in and leaving our comfort zones. Let's understand why we react the way we do, depending on which zone we're in. Let's have a fascinating and enlightening psychological discussion!

 

Leon是一位在职心理治疗师，在他的“Psychology Of”系列活动里，他会用比较好理解的方式，拆解我们日常决策背后的心理机制。为什么你会变成现在这样？人为什么会这样思考和行动？是性格、经历、成长环境，还是一些更深层的原因？这些因素又是怎么影响你看待世界、做出选择的？

 

这一次，我们来聊“舒适区心理学”。从进化心理学的角度看，舒适区到底是在保护我们，还是在限制我们，还是两者都有？为什么你在某些情境里会很自在，在另一些情境中却明显不舒服？当你走出舒适区时，身体和心理会发生什么变化？为什么有的人舒适区很小，有的人却很大？这是性格差异，还是经历造成的？到底是什么决定了你的“边界”在哪里？

 

我们会一起更好地理解自己，也更理解身边的人。舒适区其实是我们生活的一种“地图”，我们很多时候不自觉地待在里面，但它未必总是对我们有帮助。一起看看留在舒适区和走出去，各自的利与弊，也理解为什么我们在不同状态下会有完全不同的反应。这会是一场挺有启发的心理讨论，让你对自己多一点新的认识。
