Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and looking for quick ways to reset? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with clinical psychologist Dr. Jenny Taitz to discuss practical strategies from her new book “Stress Resets” that can help you manage stress and regulate emotions in just minutes.
We discuss evidence-based techniques like the “3-minute breathing space” and “opposite action” that can interrupt negative thought patterns and help us respond more effectively to stressful situations. We also dive into how to positively impact those around us, as emotional regulation is contagious, and much more.
Dr. Jennifer L. Taitz is a licensed clinical psychologist, board-certified in cognitive behavioral therapy, and one of the first psychologists to receive Linehan Board Certification in DBT. She specializes in treating a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Taitz is an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA, has authored books on emotional eating and relationships, and maintains a private practice offering telehealth services to clients in New York and California.
