I just want to appreciate a father who admits to having his issues, and who states that he works on his issues in the course of his life. It's beautiful, and in my experience, it's rare.

I would love an episode on lying. Particularly small, silly lies. What is the psychology behind that? Love you both!

@@Thatsbannanas-d8cinability to be vulnerable, authentic, and feel safe…and a link with shame. Lies are often used as fillers to spackle over the truth that we don’t want to admit. They are also a maladaptive tool to not be rejected. When we fully accept, our paradoxically, flawed, self, it is so much easier to just show up that way. We no longer self reject, therefore any potential “other” rejection we can handle easier. We know we are essentially ok, as we are, flaws and all, and aren’t seeking other’s seal of approval. It is so freeing and empowering!

Secondary gains are tricky to talk about to other people. But I have found it SO valuable in talking (kindly!) to myself. I remember the first time I encountered a situation in which a counselor in a group setting asked (about a negative behavior someone wanted to change) "yes, but how is it compensating you?" It was such a new concept to me then, that there could be ANY gain from something like that. When I ask myself about this - gently - it has allowed very old (very) and deeply buried issues to come to the surface for me to heal. That one about not being independent so that someone else would take care of me - it really hit home. I know I have this feeling somewhere in my body, and every time it comes up, I try to respond in a nurturing way - after all, I AM very independent, and I AM a grandmother nowadays! It's a very old pattern of thinking/feeling. But mercy on that small child who formed it, you know?

You two are fabulous! I love the way you dig into the issues from so many perspectives. I see my behaviours being described so clearly and you help me understand why some things are so difficult to shift! A work in progress. So good to see such a functional father-son relationship. Well done to both of you for sharing your knowledge with the world. Appreciated🙏😇

This episode was incredible. I did not think I could learn more from the both of you as I have taken in so much of your shared materials, but this was outstanding. I haven’t felt this seen and understood in a long time and through your words I was able to see myself deeply. I will replay this many times to reflect. Thank you immensely.

Thank you both for exploring the uncomfortable dives towards happiness. To take from your baking metaphors, it's been a full 5 course dinner I have to rest to digest I do enjoy examples.

For what it’s worth Think of the world you carry within you, and call this thinking what you will; whether it be remembering your own childhood or yearning toward your own future-only be attentive to that which rises up in you and set it above everything that you observe about you. What goes on in your innermost being is worthy of your whole love; you must somehow keep working at it and not lose too much time and too much courage in clarifying your attitude toward people. - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Sunny Jacobs has a great and tragic story for those looking to understand how the mind can can completely alter one's attitude regardless of circumstances. It's quite helpful also to have the feminine represented as well. Buddhist nun Robina Courtin refers to her story often at talks. Basically Sunny and her family were blown apart by a false accusation of homicide back in the 70's. Look her up to see how the impossible can happen to anyone and still be accepted and attended to with dignity and responsibility. Her book and story really ought to be more mainstream although I do appreciate the difficulties of too much attention. Thank you for keeping these episodes coming! I love the subjects and it really does help me to keep my opinions more flexible.

I prefer to think of it as treading water rather than running in place. It takes more energy and the moment you stop moving you feel like you’re at risk of drowning. This constant expenditure of energy inevitably leads to burnout (and psychological/emotional “drowning”) meaning forward momentum is extremely difficult to sustain.

I like what Rick Hanson said. It is liberating to aknowledge your own inner landscape and "Diagnosis". But its only describes your biography from the past. Not your potentials. If you identify yourself and melt into the "I am this or that" you hold on to. In my pracitce of Schemtherapy we are speaking from "Depressive Parts" because even you are "depressed" you have still other functional parts within integrated and able to cultivate, learn and grow helpful qualities within on your way of healing. But nevertheless I would like to mention that only the person itsself knows her path and we have to accept what is, because we dont know what the person has to learn in this life. There are so many aspects which has to be taken into consideration.
