Podcasts about ambiguous

"It's about knowing your limits, knowing where you are energy-wise, time-wise, resource-wise, and just doing what you can — and knowing that is enough, and that is making a difference." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and Neighborhood Cats TNR Certification Workshop. Jen Blough returns to the podcast after nearly a decade away — she was featured in the show's first fifty episodes — to talk about the work she's built in the years since: helping animal welfare professionals name and navigate the emotional toll of the field. A licensed professional counselor, former shelter worker and animal control officer, and lifelong animal advocate, Jen didn't set out to specialize in compassion fatigue. She backed into it in grad school, when a professor described the symptoms of secondary traumatic stress and she realized he was describing her own life. Much of the conversation is spent untangling terms that get used interchangeably but aren't the same thing. Jen breaks down compassion fatigue as the combination of burnout (which comes from your environment — under-resourced organizations, systemic failures, day-to-day friction) and secondary traumatic stress (which comes from absorbing someone else's trauma, human or animal). She walks through how moral distress and moral injury fit in — the no-good-options decisions that TNR caregivers and shelter workers face constantly — and why none of these, despite how real they feel, show up in the DSM. The back half of the conversation turns to grief, and this is where the discussion gets specific to community cat work. Jen introduces two concepts: disenfranchised grief (loss that society doesn't validate, which often includes animal loss) and ambiguous loss (grief without closure — not knowing what happened to a cat who stops showing up at a colony). Stacy and Jen talk through the real tension caregivers face around outdoor cats aging out of a colony, and how organizations can handle transparency with volunteers about euthanasia and loss without either traumatizing them or leaving them in the dark. Jen closes with practical advice on knowing your limits and recognizing that showing up in smaller ways — a donation, a shared post, a bag of food — still counts as meaningful advocacy. Press Play Now For: The real difference between burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, moral distress, and moral injury Why compassion fatigue isn't a diagnosable condition, and how it can fluctuate day to day Disenfranchised grief and why animal loss so often gets dismissed by people outside the field Ambiguous loss — the particular grief of not knowing what happened to a cat who never returns to the feeding station How organizations can navigate telling (or not telling) volunteers about euthanasia and cat loss Jen's advice for recognizing your capacity and letting "not right now" be an acceptable answer A first look at Jen's forthcoming book and new certification program for animal welfare professionals Resources & Links Jen Blough's website Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Trauma, Resilience, and Recovery in Animal Care and Advocacy — pre-order To Save a Starfish: A Compassion Fatigue Workbook for the Animal Welfare Warrior Beyond Compassion Fatigue podcast

Send us Fan MailAre you familiar with the term "ambiguous loss"? Just about all of us go through it at some point in our lives, but it's something Barb couldn't quite put a name to until her old friend and recurring guest Denise Torgerson described it to her. Ambiguous loss can come about in countless different ways, but most commonly, we feel it following the onset of Alzheimer's/dementia in a close family member or upon becoming estranged from family or friends. That ache we feel when someone leaves our lives without proper closure, or when a person has declined so much that we start to grieve the version of them we once knew? That's ambiguous loss. It happens to everyone, it's very hard to deal with, and surprisingly few people are actually talking about it.Thankfully, Denise is here to continue the conversation with Barb and help us all get a better understanding of what exactly causes those feelings of ambiguity, as well as what we can do to heal from it. They go over different types of loss, different coping strategies, some important realizations, and most importantly, that these feelings should not be ignored. As Denise says, if you are experiencing ambiguous loss right now, it is definitely worthy of your attention.Find us on Instagram @convoswithboomerspod.If you like our show, make sure you follow us on your favourite Podcast player.

EPISODE 240 Human life is rarely defined by permanence.  It is instead defined by change. You do not live in static conditions.  You live your life in dynamic conditions. A career begins and ends. Relationships form and dissolve. Health changes. Beliefs evolve. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) disrupt industries. You move through periods of uncertainty in the chaos of change before your life stabilizes into something new. Between every significant “before” and “after” exists an interesting space: called the “passage.” A “passage” is the ambiguous space between two change events. A “passage” is a psychological, emotional, intellectual, relational, and spiritual interval space between what was and what will become. A “passage” is often where your most important personal growth actually occurs. How can you use effective use “passages” when they occur your own life? Reacting to “passages” and change in a positive way can help you create a positive impact in your personal and professional life.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: Anyone navigating ambiguous loss, identity grief, caregiving, traumatic brain injury recovery, anticipatory grief, major life transitions, or the challenge of rebuilding life after unexpected trauma.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: A deeper understanding of ambiguous grief, anticipatory grief, caregiving, resilience, identity loss, post-traumatic growth, and practical insight into finding purpose when life no longer looks the way you expected.DESCRIPTION:Andrew Davie thought he knew exactly where his life was headed until a ruptured brain aneurysm changed everything in an instant. In this powerful conversation, Andrew joins Nick to explore the grief that comes from losing a future, an identity, and a version of yourself that never fully came to exist. Together they discuss traumatic brain injury recovery, ambiguous loss, anticipatory grief, and the emotional challenges of rebuilding life after trauma. Andrew also shares his experience becoming a full-time caregiver after his mother's ALS diagnosis and the lessons he learned while helping her create joy during the final years of her life. Throughout the conversation, Andrew offers profound insights about resilience, uncertainty, purpose, and healing. This episode is a reminder that grief is not limited to death and that growth can emerge even from life's most unexpected losses.This episode answers: What is ambiguous grief and how does it affect identity after trauma?  How do you grieve the life you thought you were going to have?  What is anticipatory grief and how do caregivers experience it?  How can someone find purpose after a traumatic brain injury or major life change?  What helps people rebuild their lives after loss, trauma, and uncertainty? Key Takeaways: Grief can stem from the loss of identity, future plans, and life expectations.  Ambiguous loss often creates unique challenges because there is no clear ending or resolution.  Caregiving can be both emotionally difficult and deeply meaningful.  Healing rarely follows a straight line and often requires patience and self-compassion.  Purpose and fulfillment can emerge in unexpected ways when people remain open to new possibilities.CHECK OUT ANDREW'S PAGES:FACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/adavieauthor INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/adavieauthor TWITTER/X:  https://x.com/adavieauthor WEBSITE:  https://www.andrew-davie.comSupport the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/

In this episode, I reflect on Vereen M. Bell's essay “The Ambiguous Nihilism of Cormac McCarthy” and use it as a way into one of the biggest questions that haunts McCarthy's work: is McCarthy simply a nihilist, or is something more complicated happening?I explore how McCarthy strips away easy meaning, cheap hope, and sentimental moral order, while still leaving us with beauty, attention, witness, mystery, and the fragile possibility of carrying something human through the darkness. This episode moves through McCarthy's brutal landscapes, his refusal of easy answers, and the strange moral power of looking at the world without lying about it.Ultimately, I think McCarthy does not give us nihilism as a final answer. He gives us a passage through nihilism, asking what remains when the old guarantees fall apart — and whether, even then, we can still carry the fire.

The Governor says you can keep your AR-15. She also says you can't carry it, transfer it, or, in some readings, even transport it. Grandfathering isn't freedom if the firearm becomes a museum piece in your own safe. Let's walk through and clarify what this law actually says, because the text and the press conference are two very different things.SPONSOR: American FinancingSummer expenses like vacations, gas, tuition, and camps are pushing families further into high-interest credit card debt.

I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier.Text2M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best.Text3W: I'll see you at the theater.M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk.W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there.Text4M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail.M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us.Text5M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.Text6W: Did you know James went out of business?M: Really? When was that?W: Last month.M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened?W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten.M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W: I hope so.Text7W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school!M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So, she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time.M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.M: Well, maybe, if it's what she wants.Text8M: Dear listeners, for today's show, I have with my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years.Mary, welcome to our show.W: It's a pleasure to be here.M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become are porter?W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choices of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.M: How did they do that?W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.Text9M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much.W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: Hmm...interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.Text10W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

In this episode, we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster by asking a chilling modern question: Can a cyber attack cause a nuclear meltdown in 2026? Moving past the Hollywood tropes of ‘exploding reactors,' we dive into the high-stakes world of OT (Operational Technology) security and critical infrastructure protection. We are joined by Oleg Illiashenko, an expert in nuclear cybersecurity, and Bec McKeown, a specialist in human factors and cognitive readiness, to explore the coordinated digital erosion of safety systems and the psychological ‘misfit' that occurs when human decision-making collapses under pressure.This isn't a history lesson. It's a deep dive into supply chain vulnerabilities, IT/OT convergence, and the uncomfortable truth that in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) crisis, the first thing to fail isn't the code, it's the human mind's ability to regulate stress.Expect a masterclass in resilience engineering, safety-critical design, and why the battle for the future of nuclear safety is actually a battle for trustworthy data.In This Episode, We Discuss:The Anatomy of a Nuclear Cyber Attack: Why the most credible threat isn't a single hack, but the coordinated degradation of monitoring systems during a plant transient or grid instability.From Chernobyl to Fukushima: How organisational silence, governance failures, and ignored ‘weak signals' remain the primary human-factor risks in modern nuclear facilities.The Action Bias Trap: Why the most effective incident response move is often a ‘purposeful pause,' and how psychological safety allows experts to override failing procedures.IT/OT Convergence & Fragility: How digitalisation and AI diagnostics improve safety while simultaneously expanding the attack surface through complex new failure modes.Building Cognitive Readiness: Practical strategies for emotional regulation and ‘micro-resets' to maintain shared alignment and decision quality during a high-consequence cyber event.Show NotesA Look at the Leadership Management of Chernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Accidents by Serap Dunman and Müge Ensari ÖzayLinkedIn for Oleg IlliashenkoLinkedIn for Bec McKeownGet in touch with Bec about contributing to Mind Science

Therapists call ambiguous grief "complex, often unresolved emotional pain felt when a loved one is physically absent but psychologically present, or physically present but psychologically absent. Being cheated on is its own kind of loss without closure and is uniquely isolating.

Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Why CPT coding ambiguity harms doctors." Muhamad analyzes the landmark case of United States v. Ron Elfenbein, where a federal judge acquitted a physician of fraud charges because the underlying CPT rules were "unquestionably ambiguous." He explains the 2021 changes to Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes and how prosecutors attempted to criminalize reasonable clinical judgment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation explores the damaging practice of insurance downcoding, where payers automatically reduce reimbursements without reviewing charts, effectively stealing physician labor. Muhamad outlines urgent policy reforms needed to distinguish between actual fraud and coding disagreements to protect the integrity of medical practice.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Tom Hardin was known as "Tipper X" during Operation Perfect Hedge, the largest insider trading investigation in history. After making four illegal trades based on inside information, the FBI approached him on a Manhattan street corner and convinced him to wear a wire over 40 times, helping build 20 of the 81 cases. Key Learnings  Ambiguity is where ethical lines blur. Tom's boss said, "Do whatever it takes," after the hedge fund lost money, and as a junior employee, Tom didn't ask clarifying questions. The undiscussable becomes undiscussable. Leaders give ambiguous messages, then pretend they weren't ambiguous, employees get confused and don't question the boss, and you end up with a culture of silence. Making decisions in isolation is dangerous. The information came to Tom and he didn't talk to his boss or his wife (who probably would've slapped him around for crossing ethical lines). Psychological safety requires muscle memory. You have to practice saying "I'm just going to ask some clarifying questions here" when your boss gives ambiguous orders. Bad decisions aren't mistakes. Mistakes are made without intent, but bad decisions are made with intent. Tom told himself for years he made "mistakes," but on a drive home from speaking at a keynote, he realized: "There's no way I made mistakes. I made bad decisions." Never say never. Tom argues you're more susceptible to falling down your own slippery slope when you think "that would never be me." 80% of employees can be swayed either way. 10% are morally incorruptible, 10% are a compliance nightmare, and 80% can be influenced by the culture around them. Tone at the top means nothing. Company culture isn't the tone at the top or glossy shareholder letters; it's the behaviors employees believe will be rewarded or put them ahead. Reward character, not just results. You can't just focus on short-term performance and dollar goals without understanding how the business was made and what was behind the performance. The question isn't "what?" but "how?" If you're just focused on the numbers and not on how you got there, you have the opportunity to end up in a slippery slope situation. Celebrate people who live your values. Companies that spend millions on trips for people who live out shared values (not financial performance) are putting their money where their mouth is. Leaders must share their own ethical dilemmas. We've all been in situations where we could go left or right, and sharing how you worked through those moments makes you more endearing and a better leader. Keep a rationalization journal. When Tom and his wife have big decisions (or even little things), he writes them down in a rationalization journal and reflects on them once a month. He's still susceptible to going down another slippery slope, so checking himself on those passing thoughts improves his character over time. It's not what you say, it's what you do. Just like kids see what parents do (not what they say), employees see what behaviors leaders actually reward. $46,000 cost him $23 million. A business school professor calculated Tom would've made $23 million if he'd stayed on the hedge fund path, but he made $46,000 on the four illegal trades before getting caught. His wife was his rock. 85% of marriages end when something like this happens, and she had every right to leave. They just got married, no kids yet. But she stayed. When Tom interviewed her for the book 20 years later, she said, "All I remember is you accepted responsibility immediately. You didn't make up excuses." Running pulled him out of a shame spiral. Tom got obese as a stay-at-home dad. His wife signed him up for a 5K race (and beat him while pushing a jogging stroller). Just crossing that finish line lit a fire. He ended up running a 100-mile race.  Doing hard things teaches you that you can do hard things. When Tom had to start a speaking business because they were running out of money, he said, "I can do this" because he'd already put his body through ultramarathons. No challenge is insurmountable. He ended up with something better. It's not about status or money anymore; it's about who he is with his family and his relationships now. Windshield mentality, not rearview mirror. Tom can't change the past, but he can look forward instead of backward. A lot of people in their twenties do stupid stuff (maybe not to this degree), but now, in his forties, he can learn from it. Why not embrace it rather than try to scrub it off the internet? Eulogy virtues versus resume virtues. In his twenties, Tom only thought about resume virtues (how much money, the next job, the next stepping stone) and never about eulogy virtues (what people will say about his character when it's all over). What will people say at your eulogy? Will they still be talking about those four trades, or will they talk about who you became after? More Learning #226 - Steve Wojciechowski: How to Win Every Day #281 - George Raveling: Wisdom from MLK Jr to Michael Jordan #637 - Tom Ryan: Chosen Suffering: Become Elite in Life & Leadership Reflection Questions Tom's boss gave him an ambiguous message ("do whatever it takes"), and as a junior employee, he didn't ask clarifying questions. Think about the last ambiguous instruction you received from leadership. Did you ask clarifying questions, or did you fill in the blanks yourself? What's stopping you from creating psychological safety to ask next time? Tom argues that 80% of employees can be swayed either way by culture. Look at your organization right now. What behaviors are actually being rewarded? If someone asked your team "what gets you ahead here?" what would they honestly say? Tom asks: "Will people be talking about the resume virtues (money, titles, achievements) or the eulogy virtues (character, relationships, who you were) when you're gone?" What's one eulogy virtue you need to start prioritizing today, even if it means slowing down on resume building?

Guest: David Davenport. Davenport describes Reagan's return to limited government to foster opportunity, contrasting this approach with the modern, ambiguous shift toward "equity" rather than equality.

This wasn't the episode I planned. I had a script ready, but I threw it out for something more honest.This is a "sprawled on the floor" conversation about the deep insecurities of working in a system—specifically New York's—that feels designed to keep us in the dark. We're diving into the "New York Glitch": the jurisdictional ambiguity other states don't have, and the moments I almost walked away from court reporting entirely.If you've ever felt like you're walking on thin ice despite your experience or credentials, this is for you.Companies mentioned:New York Career InstitutePlaza CollegeNational Notary AssociationNew York State Unified Court System

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Emily Krekelberg, an educator for farm safety within the University of Minnesota extension services. This episode was developed by the AABP Mental Health and Well-Being Committee. This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the PYRAMID(R) line of vaccines, a premier choice to protect calves from BRD. Get relentless protection at PyramidVaccines.com. Krekelberg defines ambiguous loss as a loss that is unclear or lacks closure. Some loss, such as death, is defined both physically (the person is no longer with us) and psychologically (we understand that the person is gone). With ambiguous loss there is an incongruence between physical and psychological loss. Krekelberg provides some examples of ambiguous loss from our everyday lives. Krekelberg discusses how ambiguous loss might look in a person and offers suggestions for how we can recognize this in our friends, family and clients. Ambiguous loss can be challenging to overcome because we do not know what we are experiencing and grief complicates this process. She also provides some suggestions for coping with ambiguous loss including understanding that conflicting feelings are normal, finding meaning and identifying the loss and discovering hope. If you are an AABP member interested in this and other mental health topics, consider joining the AABP Mental Health and Well-Being Committee by going to this page.  Resources:The Myth of Closure by Pauline Boss.  University of Minnesota Extension and type ambiguous loss in the search bar. The Moos Room podcast or find on your favorite podcast platform.

Episode 201‘Troilus and Cressida', is a challenging piece by pretty much everybody's estimation. Although it is no surprise that Shakespeare looked to the Homeric tales for his next inspiration which part of that story he chose to dramatize perhaps is and what he chose to do with it has perplexed commentators ever since.

He also delves into the importance of hope and optimism, even in times of crisis, and how leaders can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. Actionable Takeaways:You'll learn why traditional leadership models based on control and linear thinking are no longer effective in today's VUCA world—and what you need to replace them with.Hear how embracing uncertainty and fostering resilience can transform how your organization responds to crises and wicked problems.Discover the power of emotional intelligence in leadership and why listening is just as important as speaking in today's collaborative environments.Find out what David means by a BANI world (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) and how leaders can adapt to thrive in these unpredictable times.Explore the importance of hope and optimism in leadership and how turning crises into opportunities is key to long-term success.Understand why future literacy and foresight are critical tools for leaders looking to anticipate change and guide their organizations through complexity.Learn why David believes that normalcy has left the building and how leaders must evolve to lead effectively in this new reality.Hear David's insights on why collaboration—not isolation—is the future of leadership and how diverse perspectives fuel innovation.Gain insight into why scenario planning is a powerful tool for leaders to prepare for multiple futures and make better strategic decisions.Connect with David RossDavid Ross Website Confronting the Storm: Regenerating Leadership and Hope in the Age of UncertaintyDavid Ross LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

The yellow traffic light is a perfect example of imperfection — with intention. While driving you have to think fast. Do you speed up or stop, whether that means easily or slamming on the brakes? Every driver has their answer and what lies in the middle is a vast perceptual field. A great deal of thought has gone into the engineering of the ambiguous yellow light, as IDEAS producer Seán Foley found out. He had his own encounter with what he was sure was the shortest yellow light in the world. It resulted in a traffic fine, and gave voice to so many questions.

'Stop seeing everything so negatively." they say. But the cognitive behaviors underlying depression don't allow it. Let's talk about mental reactions and sticky patterns that outweigh false brightsides. Course!Workbook!Patreon Vid!summaryThis conversation delves into the cognitive basis of depression, focusing on how neural networks, memory games, language, cognitive inhibition inhibition, outdated working memory, and rumination contribute to depressive states. It explores the mechanisms behind cognitive depression, compassionate views for the state of human suffering, and offers strategies for managing depression through attention training and environmental changes.takeawaysNeural networks, schemas, and representations automatically shape our understanding of experiences.Even singular stimulation events can activate depressive schemas, limiting potential perceptions.Memory biases in depression lead to a resonating focus on negative experiences.Over generalized and explicit memories are unique experiences associated with depression.Cognitive inhibition is ironically inhibited during depression.Working memory cannot update with relevant material under depressive spells.Emotional regulation is hindered by cognitive control loss in depression.Rumination causes or exacerbates depression, anxiety, and PTSD due to a negative focus on the self.Automatic reckoning with the human condition may be the cause of many varieties of cognitive disorders.Training attention can redirect focus away from negativity.Ambiguous or negative social environments spark rumination which leads to depression.Changing environments and behaviors can help disrupt negative neural networks.Understanding the cognitive processes behind depression can bolster compassion and help deactivate negative schemas.keywordscognitive depression, memory bias, cognitive inhibition, working memory, overgeneralized memory, semantic memory, rumination, emotional regulation, reappraisal, self-doubt, neural networks
