Episode 24: Coping Mechanisms

Devin Physique and Dr. Ashley Contorno dive into coping mechanisms in this deeply honest episode of Tell No Lies. From mindfulness, therapy, and time in nature to isolation, overworking, and doom-scrolling, they break down what’s truly healthy, what’s not, and why coping strategies often fall in the gray area. Dr. Contorno shares a vulnerable account of her 15-year struggle with bulimia and how years of therapeutic work helped her discover durable tools to protect her emotional health. Together, the hosts challenge the idea that unhealthy coping always equals failure, offering listeners real-life insight and practical strategies for growth.
