When you have a physical injury, you have to tend it. It doesn't even register when we sustain psychological wounds that there's an action that we need to take.
Ever thought about how you handle emotional bumps and bruises? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Guy Winch, a licensed psychologist and TED speaker, who believes we should treat our emotional wounds with the same care as physical ones. Winch, known for his book 'Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts', shares practical advice on tackling common emotional struggles.
He dives into the sting of rejection, explaining how it affects our self-esteem and why it feels like physical pain. Winch also touches on the harmful habit of rumination—replaying negative events in our minds—which can amplify feelings of anger and bitterness. By shifting our focus to positive thoughts, we can train our brains to be more optimistic. Another key takeaway is the importance of self-compassion.
We often judge ourselves harshly, but Winch encourages us to treat ourselves with the same kindness we'd offer a friend. This episode is packed with actionable tips for building emotional resilience and moving forward with confidence.
