Straight Talk With Sandra Reich

Aging is a mixed bag, isn’t it? Some mental skills decline with age—like short-term memory loss and visual spatial processing. Sometimes as we age, we feel confused or frustrated by limitations. But, scientists are finding the mind gets sharper at a number of vitally important abilities and social skills. For example, one study found that managing emotions is a skill in itself, one that takes many of us decades to master. Another study revealed that negative emotions such as sadness, anger and fear become less pronounced than in our drama-filled younger years. Join us as Sandra and frequent guest, Georgia Dow, discuss aging with grace and hope. Life is a journey of life lessons and experiences containing successes and mistakes – the golden years can take full advantage of that!
