You 2.0: Stop Spiraling!

Об эпизоде

<p>The start of a new year is a natural moment to set goals for ourselves. But doing so can also be a little daunting. Today, we kick off a series designed to help you understand and grapple with the mental obstacles that can keep you from charting a new path. We talk with psychologist <a href="https://psychology.stanford.edu/people/greg-walton" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Greg Walton</a>, who studies how our minds get trapped in negative thought spirals — and how we can begin to break free. Then, in the latest installment of our segment "Your Questions Answered," psychologist and neuroscientist <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014RYGZAA4/abigail-a-marsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Abigail Marsh</a> answers listener questions about the minds of extremely kind and generous people.</p> <p><i>If you enjoyed our conversation with Greg Walton, don't miss our companion conversation about the emotional tools we can use to help someone who's spiraling.
