#116 - MANAGING EMOTIONAL REACTIVITY: WHAT GETS IN THE WAY AND WHAT HELPS

Dr. Sharon Lo Adusei is a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the developing brain, specifically focused on understanding the role that our context, culture and social environment has on how our attention and self-regulation skills form throughout life. Over the last decade, she has worked to promote well-being and positive health outcomes in clinical, academic, and tech spaces, including the growing digital mental health industry. In this episode we talk about childhood temperament and how it shows up in our work later in life, emotional reactivity and regulation and how to improve your sensitivity to negative stimuli, and what you can do to build a self-care plan for yourself when times get tough in your career.
