118. Dr. Sasha Heinz on Improving Your Life with Developmental + Positive Psychology Principles

<p>Today's guest is Sasha Heinz, PhD, MAPP—a developmental psychologist and life coach who is an expert in positive psychology, lasting behavioral change, and the science of getting unstuck. In her private coaching practice, she teaches clients the tools to change their lives for good. Heinz received her BA from Harvard, her PhD in development psychology from Columbia, and her master’s in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also served as a faculty member (go Quakers!!). We discuss how attending therapy can help you with 'adulting', how to use coping skills in daily life, the myths around toxic positivity, how to improve your life using positive psychology, and misconceptions about improving your well-being. </p><p>Dr. Heinz's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drsashaheinz/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/drsashaheinz/?hl=en</a></p><p>MENTIONED</p><p>+ <a href="https://drsashaheinz.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Heinz's website</a> </p><p>+ <a href="https://mindyourmind.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mind Your Mind</a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/092577622X?tag=onamzsadiekil-20&amp;linkCode=ssc&amp;creativeASIN=092577622X&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1LNYBGUF1RBE&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caroline Miller's book </a></p><p>+ <a href="https://ppc.sas.upenn.edu/sites/default/files/positivepsychotherapyarticle.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Positive Psychotherapy research </a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1632868318?tag=onamzsadiekil-20&amp;linkCode=ssc&amp;creativeASIN=1632868318&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1LNYBGUF1RBE&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lost Connections by Johann Hari </a></p><p>+ <a href="https://www.pursuit-of-happiness.org/history-of-happiness/barb-fredrickson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barbara Fred
