The Motivation Mindset with Risa Williams: Doomscrolling - Dr. Scott Waltman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With the constant onslaught of fear-inducing news coming at us each day, how can we keep ourselves emotioanlly regulated and calm enough to do what we need to do? Risa Williams is joined again by CBT expert, psychologist, podcast host, and book author, Dr. Scott Waltman, to discuss how to notice when our doomscrolling tendencies might be derailing us from being present in our daily lives.
They discuss
-Self-compassion and why its non-negotiable right now
-Using methods from grief therapy to navigate the emotions you might be experiencing from reading daily headlines
-Figuring out different ways you can be more deliberate about when you're checking the news and when you're being more intentional about taking breaks from it
-DBT Skills of "Participate" and "Opposite Action" and how they can be applied to daily doomscrolling habits
