Episode #109
Original Air Date: 3 March 2023
Produced by: Doug Krisch
Length: 29 minutes
This episode features some stories and some reflection on the topic of Poker as it pertains to emotional health. Over the past 7 months, I have had the opportunity to play over 50 poker sessions – mostly home games, with a few casino trips interspersed. In this episode I share what I have learned about the relationship between playing poker and developing emotional health skills.
Some people have told me that they are surprised that I would play poker, for they saw it is incompatible or even contradictory to the Weather of the Mind pod.
In this episode I hope to set the record straight – – poker can be a great teacher of focus, decision-making, emotional regulation, social skills, risk/rewards strategy.
Best to you – –
