In this episode of the Women's Room Legal Division podcast, I discuss strategies for dealing with being told off at work, drawing from personal experiences and psychological insights. The podcast breaks down the situation into several phases, offering practical advice on immediate reactions, processing emotions, formulating plans to resolve issues, and analyzing feedback constructively. The episode also touches on understanding the critic’s perspective, handling ongoing ruminations, and addressing potential workplace bullying. Listeners are reminded that a single mistake does not define them or their value.

This episode from the Women's Room - Legal Division with Erica Handling explores the concept of managing the inner voice in one's head, drawing insights from yoga, psychotherapy, and notable figures like Viktor Frankl and Marisa Peer and. It discusses the primal needs for connection and aversion to rejection, the evolution of human consciousness, and how the mind reacts to imagined scenarios. Erica delves into techniques for reframing thoughts, emphasising self-kindness, and utilising tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and Steve Peters' Chimp Paradox to manage emotional responses and enhance well-being.
