Guest Hosts: The Type C Toolbox with Dr. Kore Glied & Anna White Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

We've all heard of Type A and Type B, but Type C is common to many women and can harm our health if taken too far.
Here’s a set of common Type C behaviors:
-Being overly conscientious and responsible
-Carrying others’ burdens
-Not setting sufficient personal boundaries
-Wanting to please others
-Avoiding conflict
-Internalizing toxic emotions
It sounds familiar, right? Unfortunately, this “pathological niceness” is scientifically linked to disease. At 'Type C Toolbox,' Dr. Kore Nissenson Glied and Anna White's mission is to build awareness, offer guidance and strategies, create community, connect women, and encourage further learning.
Dr. Kore Nissenson Glied is a clinical psychologist born and raised in New York City. She worked for over 15 years in city hospitals providing both patient care and academic training and has maintained a private practice in Manhattan since 2010, where she provides evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, and stress due to a wide range of conditions including past history of trauma, pregnancy, and relationship issues. Dr. Glied received her BA from Carleton College in Minnesota. After receiving her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University in 2006, she completed an internship at Montefiore Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship in trauma at NYU. Dr. Glied lives with her husband, two sons, and dog in Manhattan.
Anna White is a former Wall Street executive who experienced severe burnout and subsequent chronic illness during her years in the corporate sector. Type C traits were a significant contributor to her declining health. After leaving corporate life, she founded a specialty care package company, Rest & Heal. She holds a B.S. and M.B.A. in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
