009. Matthew Bain - Coping with Change
from My Back 40 · host Steve O'Shaughnessy
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of having a conversation with Matthew Bain (MEd., MA. Registered Provisional Psychologist Mental Performance Consultant). The last time we spoke was on Bikepack Canada Podcast Ep.61, in which we chatted about the psychological mechanics of motivation. Having a strategy and mindset for coping with the recent Covid-19 Pandemic is probably one of the most important tools to have in your psychological tool kit. There’s a lot of information out there and managing this firehose of data in and of itself could amplify your own stress and anxiety. Matt and I discuss strategies for families with children and how having a regular schedule is so important to keeping them engaged. We cover the effects of fear on decision making and how to think critically when absorbing the flood of information coming from the media. I find there are always a great many take aways after I talk with Matt. I found this chat therapeutic. We are not alone with this. We are all feeling the strain. My hope is that this conversation will help you like it did me.
