Episode notes

Cognitive reappraisal is a psychological technique that involves changing our emotional response to a situation by reinterpreting or reevaluating what it means. One study published in the journal Personality and Social Psych found that people who regularly use reframing or cognitive reappraisal tend to have better mental health and well-being. By using mindfulness to stay present and calm, we can become more resilient in the face of criticism.

Have you ever received criticism that left you confused and defensive, wondering what you could do better? How often have you felt personal attacks masquerading as helpful feedback? These experiences are all too common, leaving us questioning our self-worth and abilities.

Today's episode explores how we can navigate criticism in a way that fosters growth instead of damage. Listen as we explore the psychological effects of criticism, debunk the myths surrounding it, and share strategies to make it a catalyst for positive change within your life and work.
