"The first step to good emotional management is to become aware of your emotions."
Screaming children. The untidiness of your partner. People tailgating in traffic. We all know them: The everyday situations that trigger emotions such as anger, annoyance or frustration in us. Often the only way out is to let these emotions out loud in order to feel better. But does it really make us feel better to shout at our children, reprimand our partner or give other drivers the middle finger?
"Ask yourself: am I reacting the way I want to react?"
Our guest today is a professional when it comes to emotions: Dr. Denis Mourlane is a psychologist, psychotherapist and systemic coach. He helps people to understand their emotions, learn to control their reactions and develop more resilience in crises. The key word in this process is resilience. And the best thing about it is that resilience can be learned.
"Being grateful for the little things gives you strength in difficult situations."
Mourlane talks to Georgiy Michailov about what we can do as individuals to increase our resilience - and about how entire organizations can become more resilient. The conversation also looks at how we can react in seemingly hopeless situations, what resilience has to do with gratitude and stoicism, and how journaling can help us with our self-efficacy.
