#71: Cognitive Flexibility and Emotions

Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast

In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast, hosts Dr. Erica Warren and Darius Namdaran explore the relationship between cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation. They discuss the concept of cognitive flexibility as a critical executive function and its role in managing emotions. Through the metaphor of the caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly, they explore the idea of imaginal cells and how they symbolize the potential for growth and change within us. This conversation highlights the importance of being the executive of your own life and using cognitive flexibility to adapt to challenges and achieve personal transformation.
