We’ve all been there. The hot-headed comment to a friend, the accidental text to the wrong group, a late-night DM sent under less than sober circumstances…

The shame and embarrassment that can happen when we’ve made these kinds of mistakes can make you want to hide in your room for the rest of the semester. But Dr. Colleen Lang is here with some good news and essential how-tos when it comes to bouncing back from those “social suicide” moments. 

Listen in as Dr. Lang shares:

1. Common thinking traps that occur after social mistakes
2. Effective responses when shame is unjustified
3. How to face the music when shame is justified
4. Why you should experience mistakes on purpose
