#394 - Rachel Gersten: Managing the Post-Marathon Mental Dip


Listen Later

Rachel Gersten is a New York City therapist with a passion for helping people lead their healthiest lives possible. She completed her undergraduate degree at the Arizona State University where she double majored in psychology and human development. She attended Columbia University and earned two master’s degrees (Ed.M., M.A.) in Psychological Counseling.

Rachel is also a dedicated amateur runner who has completed several marathons including the 2021 New York City Marathon.

In this episode, we talk about the mental and emotional dip some people go through post-marathon (or any big race/event) and how we can minimize some of those challenges, celebrate even in the face of disappointment, and how we can learn from our experiences.
