If You’re “Too Self-Aware,” Listen to This
|
|
"There's a place for being able to step apart from ourselves and look at ourselves, but what we really want to be able to do is complete the cycle of that. We want to bring it to an end so it doesn't become rumination."
– Dr. Rick Hanson
|
Have you ever felt like you knew yourself a little too well? While self-awareness is usually helpful, it can sometimes lead to overwhelm, anxiety, confusion, and self-consciousness. In this episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest explore what we can do if we feel like we’re “too self-aware.”

How to Deal with Other People’s Defenses
|
|
Forrest and Dr. Rick tackle the tricky topic of how to deal with other people’s psychological defenses. It’s often easier to see other people’s defenses than to see our own, which can make them particularly frustrating to deal with. In this episode, Rick and Forrest explore the psychological and communication skills that will allow you to have more successful conversations.

ASK RICK:
|
How do I reduce bondage to the self?
|
 |
For me, the essence of practicing with self-ing (it’s a process, not an entity) is contained in this pithy comment from a monk whose name escapes me: “Love yourself. Just don’t love your self.”
|
"Be kind to the person you are, while not identifying with the self-referential processes occurring in the mind."
|
I have found personally that if I treat myself well – as well as I would treat a good friend – then cravings actually decrease, and my addictive tendencies are more manageable.
