Author: Triad April 22, 2025 Duration: 20:11
The news shapes our feelings more than our opinions—don’t let it choose your mood. In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Peter Fenger and Sharlee Dixon unpack something we all wrestle with: our relationship with the news. In a world flooded with headlines designed to spark outrage and steal our focus, it’s easy to feel emotionally hijacked without even realizing it. But what if there’s a better way? Together, we explore the subtle yet powerful difference between reacting and responding to the news. How can we stay informed and empathetic without letting every headline raise our blood pressure? How do we stay engaged without losing our peace of mind? Let’s talk about how to reclaim our attention, guard our mental health, and choose intention over emotional autopilot.   Follow Behavioral Health Today on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/behavioralhealthtoday/ Follow us on TikTok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@behavioralhealthtoday Follow us on Threads at: https://www.threads.net/@behavioralhealthtoday Or watch us live on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOeCMGsF7B2gNBHuWxt-fQ
