Self-Compassion: How to Make it Work For You with Dr. Chris Germer
|
|
"People worry that it will make them a little bundle of sorrow and suffering, in other words, self pity, but actually, the research shows that people who are high in self-compassion, they have more perspective on what they're going through, and also they ruminate less."
– Dr. Chris Germer
|
Why do so many people seem to resist self-compassion? In this episode, Dr. Chris Germer, co-creator of the Mindful Self-Compassion program, joins Forrest to explore how we can work with the deeply ingrained shame that gets in the way.

The Anxiety Toolkit: How to Tolerate Uncertainty with Joshua Fletcher
|
|
Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time, and because it’s so common it can be easy to take it lightly. But anxiety dominates the lives of many people, and in this episode, psychotherapist Joshua Fletcher joins Forrest for an in-depth exploration of anxiety. They talk about the anxiety cycle, moving away from thinking in terms of a “cure,” and the key target of how to tolerate uncertainty. Josh also shares insights on exposure therapy, managing self-criticism, and developing greater self-awareness.

ASK RICK:
|
How can we figure out what our children want?
|
 |
A child’s – or grownup’s – wants usually follow a particular path through time that I call an ‘arc of desire.’ Figuring out what a child wants requires understanding that whole arc.
|
"Skill with wanting, which helps enormously both parenting and marriages, involves competence with the entire arc in all its aspects."
|
You might use the model presented here to consider your own wanting and how you respond to the wants of your children.
