Today on Forrest and Dr. Rick discuss family estrangement, particularly between parents and children, and how the questions we engage in this territory apply more broadly to how we balance our own boundaries with the responsibilities we have toward other people.
We had a productive year, with some extraordinary guests and equally compelling topics. Though not an easy choice, we pick what we think are the top Being Well podcasts for 2021.
Today we discuss family estrangement, particularly between parents and children, and how the questions we engage in this territory apply more broadly to how we balance our own boundaries with the responsibilities we have toward others.
Today, Forrest and Dr. Rick Hanson expand their conversation on relationships to explore what traits to look for in a potential partner and in your dynamic with them. They discuss life growth curves, how to manage early conflict, healthy approaches for dealing with rejection, and how to support those still navigating a difficult search.
Maximize your chances of finding a fulfilling long-term relationship by developing clear intentions, building key psychological skills for a healthy relationship, and marketing yourself authentically while dating.
It’s natural to have moments – even in the course of a generally happy, mostly fulfilling life – where we question our meaning, value, and purpose. This “existential dread” sometimes culminates in an “existential crisis.” We consider how we can confront these basic questions with acceptance and curiosity, and find the meaning and purpose that can help us live good lives
How can we aim high, achieve our goals, and get what we want out of life without falling prey to unhealthy striving and excessive perfectionism? Dr. Diana Hill joins Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson to explore the costs of perfectionism, productivity anxiety, psychological flexibility, calming the threat system, and how we can go from striving to thriving.
Therapist and author Elizabeth Earnshaw explores how the pandemic impacted our relationships, the Gottman approach, balancing differing needs for intimacy, and how to request and give repair.
We continue our exploration of the key inner strengths and psychological skills we truly feel like we couldn’t live without. This week we talk about joy, seeing the mind’s deceits, keeping your good humor, the wild spirit, and finding meaning.
On today’s episode of Being Well, Forrest and I reveal the key inner strengths and psychological skills we truly feel like we couldn’t live without. In the first of two episodes dedicated to this topic, we talk about benevolence, patience, curiosity, self-regulation, and grit.
There’s a lot of information out there about mental health.
Much of it isn’t very good.
We’re trying to fix that.
Join Rick to start having more thoughts that help and fewer that hurt.
