Guy Winch Biography

Guy Winch is a licensed psychologist, author, and keynote speaker. An advocate for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives, workplaces, and education systems, he has given two TED Talks — “Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid” and “How to Fix a Broken Heart” — that have been viewed over 15 million times.

Winch’s books include The Squeaky Wheel: Complaining the Right Way to Get Results, Improve Your Relationships and Enhance Self-Esteem; Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts; and How to Fix a Broken Heart. He is a member of the American Psychological Association.

In his book, Emotional First Aid: Practical Strategies for Treating Failure, Rejection, Guilt, and Other Everyday Psychological Injuries, he suggests a simple but revolutionary idea—that applying emotional first aid to common psychological injuries when we first sustain them would have a powerful impact on our mental health, emotional resilience and our physical health. He uses cutting edge psychological science to illustrate the surprising ways seven common psychological injuries (Rejection, Loneliness, Loss, Guilt, Rumination, Failure, and bouts of Low Self-Esteem), impact our behavior, mood, cognitive functioning, and physical health and provides practical tools for treating them.

Winch blogs for Psychology Today, Huffington Post, and his writings have been featured in CNN.com, Salon.com, and other national media outlets. As a Keynote speaker, Winch uses his background in stand-up comedy to deliver highly entertaining, informative, and compelling addresses that audiences find both highly practical and immediately applicable to their work and lives. Guy Winch received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from New York University and completed several years of post-doctoral work in family systems.

How to Practice Emotional First Aid

We all know how to treat physical injuries like cuts and scrapes when we sustain them but we ignore everyday psychological wounds such as rejection, failure, loneliness, guilt, and rumination. Psychological wounds can also get ‘infected’ and they impact our lives in unexpected and detrimental ways. Dr. Winch shares the science of treating psychological injuries and reveals how to boost our emotional and physical health, improve our functioning, increase our emotional resilience, and turbo-charge our life satisfaction.

The Surprising Ways Common Psychological Injuries Are Holding You Back and How to Overcome Them

Guy Winch pulls back the veil on the many surprising ways common psychological experiences such as failure, rejection, and brooding, impact our how we feel, behave, and especially, how we think. His highly entertaining use of cutting edge science and real life scenarios provide insights that are at once shocking, compelling, as well as highly applicable to both the workplace and everyday life. Audiences gain huge insights into how they operate and think, and gain tools that allow them to identify blind spots and destructive habits they had no idea they possessed. Dr. Winch then provides them easy-to-apply tools that have a powerful, immediate and dramatic impact on both their work and their personal lives. Audiences leave his talk feeling truly transformed, better armed for life, more emotionally resilient, and more productive and successful in the workplace.

How Our Complaining Psychology Affects Our Lives and Relationships

Guy Winch uses humorous anecdotes and real life scenarios to illustrate the powerful, surprising and often shocking ways in which our complaining psychology influences our lives and relationships. The ability to complain effectively about the frustrations of daily life and to get satisfying resolutions when doing so is a crucial life skill. Yet, it is one with which the vast majority of people struggle, both in their personal and work lives and especially in their relationships. Dr. Winch breaks down psychological concepts into simple and practical steps that leave audiences feeling highly entertained and personally empowered to tackle dissatisfactions in their lives and their relationships and to get the results they want.
