Guy Winch Biography

Guy Winch received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from New York University and completed several years of post-doctoral work in family systems. In his new 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.

His first book, “The Squeaky Wheel: Complaining the Right Way to Get Results, Improve Your Relationships and Enhance Self-Esteem” was the first science based look at the psychology of complaining and its impact on our personal and professional relationships, and the customer service industry.

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. He maintains a private practice in New York City.
