Ep 6. Negative Biase

This week, Emily and Renee sit down with clinical psychologist Tamara Cavenett to explore how negativity bias shapes our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. Together, they unpack why our brains are wired to prioritise threat, how this impacts our daily wellbeing, and the small but powerful ways glimmers can help restore balance. This episode blends psychological insight with lived experienceโ€”and offers gentle, practical strategies to help you shift your internal focus from survival mode to moments of calm and connection.๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ˆ๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐‚๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐‡๐ฎ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ฌTamara Cavenett is a clinical psychologist and former president of the Australian Psychological Society, with a special interest in complex disorders and mental health innovation.
