Navigating Anxiety: Developing a Flexible Mind in the Face of Difficult Challenges. With Ross White


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Clinical Psychologist, Professor and Author Ross White. His insightful book is called “The Tree that Bends: How a Flexible Mind can help you thrive.” The Tree that Bends, a title that comes from a Tanzanian proverb, is a metaphor to illustrate how we can remain anchored, willing and empowered in the face of lifes most difficult challenges. We explore the themes of psychological flexibility including acceptance and commitment therapy, and daily practices that can help manage our emotions when navigating anxiety — many that can be so helpful for our mental health and wellbeing. I love how he talks about embracing emotions as messengers that can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. P.S. he gives me therapy on my own driving anxiety, post accident!
