About this listen

Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy dive deep into Terror Management Theory and the impact that the certainty of death has on how we live our lives. They explain how our “mortality salience” predisposes us to resist change – even positive change – as it reminds humans of our mortality, strengthening our current worldviews and identifications rather than opening us up to uncertainty. This also lends itself as an explanation for society’s rejection of the universal reality of trauma and adversity. The hosts conclude with several skills and approaches used in Creating Presence to mitigate the effects of anxiety and help organizations adopt positive and effective changes for their own growth and development.
