In this 2018 GDC session, The Deep End Games' Amanda Gardner explains how developers can deal with difficult emotional states on the job.

Gardner presents fast and easy strategies for changing emotional states without having to take a "time out", and leads a few short guided meditations that can take those from frazzled to fine in under 5 minutes. 

It was an insightful talk that's definitely still worth watching, so developers shouldn't miss the opportunity to do so now that it's freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!
