In this episode…

Many lawyers think catastrophically, meaning they look toward the future but imagine the worst-case scenario. In some ways, this type of thinking can be helpful and push you to prepare for a successful, positive outcome. But too much catastrophic thought can lead to increased anxiety and other negative effects such as burnout and depression.

Although anxiety often has negative connotations, it can be quite empowering — as long as you know how to channel it the right way. Dr. Chloe Carmichael, a leading expert on anxiety and stress management, is here to share strategies for coping with anxiety and increasing productivity and happiness. She dives into different tools like the mental shortlist, mind mapping, and emotional to-do lists to help you harness your nervous energy and use it to enhance workplace success.

Dr. Carmichael shares actionable tools to help you decrease the adverse effects of anxiety, discusses how anxiety can be a healthy function, and explains why it’s important to welcome and work with anxiety — not run away from it.
