About this listen

Our emotions have a huge impact on our judgment. The affect heuristic is our mental shortcut of making decisions based on our immediate emotional response, rather than objective analysis. A feeling of boredom can make the "fact" of relapse seem less dangerous. A feeling of anger can make a destructive choice feel justified. This episode teaches you emotional literacy and mindfulness, creating a crucial pause between feeling and action so your logic can catch up.
