Video Description
@RickHanson and I dive into the mailbag, and answer questions from listeners focused on working with anxiety in ourselves and our relationships. We start with a question that’s essential to the podcast as a whole: is it possible to be too preoccupied with personal growth? Rick talks about how to manage the desire for approval, offering strategies to foster self-acceptance and healthier self-validation, before I share my own journey with finding the right amount of try-hard. We then discuss how to create more collaborative decisions in relationships. Additional topics include self-motivation and peak performance, working with diverse needs, and diagnostic “scope creep.” Key Topics: 0:00 Introduction 1:05 Am I too preoccupied with self-help and personal growth? 11:20 How do I address my unquenchable thirst for approval? 26:20 How can I tell if I’m actually doing my best? 35:55 How do I advocate for more shared decision making with my partner? 53:15 How does the brain’s natural pursuit of novelty balance with its desire for safety? 1:03:00: Recap Subscribe to Being Well on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-well-with-dr-rick-hanson/id1120885936 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5d87ZU1XY0fpdYNSEwXLVQ Who Am I: I'm Forrest, the co-author of Resilient (https://amzn.to/3iXLerD) and host of the Being Well Podcast (https://apple.co/38ufGG0).
