Jenny Taitz (on stress resets)

Jenny Taitz (Stress Resets, How to Be Single and Happy) is a licensed clinical psychologist, best-selling author, and assistant clinical professor in psychiatry at UCLA. Jenny joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the initial modalities that inspired her to become a psychologist, turning knots in our stomach into bows, and tells a true tragedy of spilt milk that drives her therapeutic practices. Jenny and Dax talk about the most effective formula for saying no, how we can manage our emotions by noticing how we co-create them, and why singing your anxieties to the tune of “Do You Believe in Magic” is a great mind reset. Jenny explains how stress can actually be an incredibly useful tool, how to turn Dax and Monica into world-class ex-ruminators, and her goal to widen the space Victor Frankel suggests in "Man’s Search for Meaning."
