NEW ON THE BEING WELL PODCAST:

Highly Sensitive People, Repairing with Family, and “Talking About Talking”: November Mailbag

"We can tend to get preoccupied with issues between other people in which we don't actually have a stake — we're just borrowing trouble for ourselves. That's something to consider."
– Rick Hanson

What can I do if my partner dominates conversations about our relationship? How can I navigate situations where I want to repair, but other people don’t? What’s a “highly sensitive person,” and how does it relate to conditions like complex PTSD, ADHD, and autism? On this episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest open up the mailbag and answer questions from listeners.

ASK RICK:

How can one find the strength to face challenges without loving relationships and family support?

First, I would suggest pushing yourself into situations in which you can form new good relationships of various kinds. Some of the best settings are low-key classes such as introductory ceramics and service projects in which good people come together in common cause.

"I’m a shy person myself and I get what is hard about actually taking this advice, but there is no replacement for it."

Second, there are many sources of resilient well-being that do not depend on relationships. My programs and writings get at this in-depth, and I suggest you check out Hardwiring Happiness in particular.

Third, even with limitations in human relationships and relative isolation, you can feel related to the natural world, and you can feel and focus on your own naturally warm and caring heart. Even if love is not flowing in, you can be fed by love flowing out.

RICK'S PICKS:

At the Intersection of Mind and Climate Change

My friends Christine Wamsler and Jamie Bristow just authored a ground-breaking paper titled "At the intersection of mind and climate change: integrating inner dimensions of climate change into policymaking and practice," which concludes with policy recommendations to move from a vicious to a virtuous cycle of mind and climate change that supports personal and planetary wellbeing.
