Shay Says

In this episode, Dr. Morling is back to help me give out positive ways on how we can live in our healthiest way! We go over the benefits of pursuing self compassion by being our own best friend, recognizing imperfections, and living presently away from your thoughts! We also go over different perspectives on looking at negative outcomes. I will reference Neff's article on "Self Compassion," (2011), along with Kross and Ayduk's article on "Self-Distancing,"(2011).

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).

The first EPISODE!! I will discuss what self esteem actually is vs. what we THINK it is, cultural myths, and how we are able to tell if we/others have low vs high self esteem. I will reference Baumeister et al., in their article "Exploting Self Esteem Myths," (2005), along with Swann's article "The Trouble with Change: Self Verification and Allegiance to the Self," (1997).
