Show Notes
Do you believe that if you stop worrying, the worst-case scenario will happen?
According to Dr Emily, uncertainty, is the only certainty (mic drop) (jaw drop) (the crowd goes silent).
If you weren’t having an existential crisis yet, strap yourself in, because today we’re talking worry and uncertainty.
In this emisode, our resident psychologist Dr Emily Musgrove talks us through our new-age uncertainty intolerance, and why we continuously seek reassurance and data to drive our decision-making process.
We talk big, global-warming size unpredictability, and also small, picking a restaurant without reading reviews uncertainty, to explore the role of worry in our lives.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the unknown and find safety in the present moment.
