2 - Oh...Did I Do That?

In this episode, I brought on two psychologists Dr. Park and Dr. Morling to discuss how there are consequences on striving for self esteem, but that's what we are "supposed," to do...right? Along with that, we continue to question if we are harming those with low self esteem with the praise we give them...and if simple affirmations are actually helping us in the way we think! I reference Dr. Park's article she created with Crocker on the "Costly Pursuit of Self Esteem," (2004), Brummelman et. al on his article "The Adverse Impact of Inflated Praise on Children with Low-Self-Esteem," (2014), as well as Wood, Lee, and Perunovie's article on "Positive Self Statements," (2008).
