About this listen
In this episode of Naked Psychology, Doug and Kendall explore how weather—terrible weather—can quietly influence our mood, stress levels, and mental health. From gray winter days that contribute to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) to barometric pressure changes that trigger headaches and irritability, the brain and body are more sensitive to climate than we often realize. Doug breaks down the science behind light exposure, serotonin, and cortisol, while Kendall shares how clients report feeling more anxious, fatigued, or emotionally heavy during prolonged storms or extreme heat. The episode also examines how weather impacts behavior—less sunlight means less outdoor movement, fewer social interactions, and more rumination. Together, they unpack how understanding these patterns can help listeners respond with intention instead of frustration, offering practical ways to regulate stress even when the forecast looks gloomy.
