Presented by Orion Taraban, Psy.D. PsycHacks provides listeners with a brief, thought-provoking episode several days a week on a variety of psychological topics, inspired by my clinical practice. The intention is for the core idea contained within each episode to inspire listeners to see something about themselves or their world in a slightly different light.

High-stakes situations can be nerve-wracking. Among other things, this is due to the fact that the outcome is still uncertain. Under such circumstances, people are subject to tensing up and succumbing to fear -- both of which are generally ineffective mind states. To defend against this, cultivate the belief that you've already won and your opponent just hasn't realized it yet. This will allow you to act coolly and confidently -- which will increase your chances of success.
