The Psychology Behind Rewatching Comfort TV Shows

  • Summary

  • Feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or just... over it? We dive into the difference between stress and burnout, the subtle signs you might be missing, and how to reset before you hit the wall.

    Plus, why you keep rewatching the same comfort shows and movies. It turns out there’s real science behind your favourite feel-good binges—and it’s actually good for your brain.

    And in news headlines today Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Guiffre has died aged 41, her family saying she was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse; Undecided voters have handed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese the win in the third and final leaders debate; Thousands are filing past the tomb of pope Francis just a day after the world farewelled the pontiff; RuPaul's Drag Race star Jiggly Caliente has died after having to have her right leg amputated due to a severe infection.

    Mamamia’s new podcast Well is diving into burnout—how to spot it, manage it, and stop it from coming back. Spoiler: quitting your job isn’t a magic fix. Listen to Well for expert advice that actually helps.
