  • Summary

  • In this episode of Project I AM, we dive into a question with profound implications: Why do we confuse discomfort with a lack of safety? This misunderstanding shapes personal growth, relationships, workplaces, and even public policy.

    Join Dr. David J. Schlosz as we explore:

    - The key distinction between discomfort and danger.

    - Neuroscience explaining why our brains misinterpret challenges as threats.

    - How parenting, education, and social media foster “safetyism.”

    - The cultural impacts of trigger warnings, safe spaces, and censorship.

    - Practical strategies to reframe discomfort as a path to growth.

    Drawing on insights from leading psychologists, research studies, and real-world examples—from workplace dynamics to debates around free speech—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you navigate adversity and embrace discomfort as a vital part of life.
