How do positive emotions help us cope with our most challenging moments including caregiving for people facing life-threatening illness or bereavement?

In this podcast, Prof. Judith Moskowitz, social and health psychologist, shares how activities that generate positive emotions can help people respond to significant life stress in a healthier way. Her ground-breaking work has shown the difference simple activities like re-framing, mindfulness, kindness, practising and benefit finding can make to the bereaved, people living with stroke, dementia, HIV-Aids, Stage IV breast cancer, and their carers. Importantly, Judith’s work shows that we can all learn these strategies and reap the benefits.

Listen to how talking about the positives, even in the most challenging times, can help psychologically and physically.
