With the chaos of the past few years, it’s no wonder that self-help has become so popular. In 2019 alone, there were over 85,253 unique international standard book numbers (ISBNs). This is nearly three-times the number in 2013! However, this wide availability of self-help resources includes many that are not rooted in scientific evidence. Over the course of her career, Katy Milkman, author of How to Change, has worked with or advised dozens of organizations on how to spur positive change, including Google, the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Red Cross, 24 Hour Fitness, Walmart and Morningstar. On this episode of POTC, Katy and Jill discuss strategies you can implement to see positive, lasting change in your behavior. Join us in this episode for the inside-scoop on a self-help resource that actually works, today! . . . . . #booklovers #trauma #selfcompassion #mentalhealthmatters #brave #courage #socialanxiety #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcastlife #mentalhealth #mindfulness #values #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #stressreduction #coping #anxiety #psychology #psychologistsofinstagram #psychologyofhappiness #happylife #happiness #mindfulmoments #stress #pressure
#Repost @drdianahill with @make_repost ・・・ Choosing collaboration over competition allows me to live out many values at once: friendship, creativity, compassion, and self-compassion. 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who do you love to collaborate with? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some of my favorite grad school friends—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We got our doctorates together over a decade ago and we are still friends and collaborators in work and motherhood. Dr. Alexis Bachik @alexisbachik is who I call for positive psychology advice (check out Ep. 34 on POTC), Dr. Meg McKelvie is my go-to when I don’t feel like I belong (check out Ep. 199) and of course, Dr. Yael Schonbron @dryaelschonbron is who I call when I need parenting advice and podcasting advice when it goes sideways! Head to the podcast @offtheclockpsych to listen to the intersection of friendship and professional collaborations! 🙌

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is frequently used as an adjective to describe fastidious or punctilious behavior. Far from this usage, OCD can have long-lasting detrimental effects on quality of life and is currently one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented mental illnesses affecting us today. Vulnerable populations such as children can be particularly impacted by OCD, with symptoms beginning as early as 3-years-old and causing life-long issues for both the child and their family. Drs. Lisa Coyne and Ben Sedley, authors of Stuff That’s Loud, have spent years studying OCD, ACT, and mental health in young people. In this episode of POTC, Debbie talks with Lisa and Ben about anxiety, spiraling behavior, and much, much more. Listen in to learn practical strategies for facing your fears and stopping the spiral today! . . . . . #booklovers #trauma #selfcompassion #mentalhealthmatters #brave #courage #socialanxiety #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcastlife #mentalhealth #mindfulness #values #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #stressreduction #coping #anxiety #psychology #psychologistsofinstagram #psychologyofhappiness #happylife #happiness #mindfulmoments #stress #pressure
