- The most important relationship we have is with ourselves. You’re the only person you’ll be around every minute of every day for the rest of your life. And, unfortunately, that relationship is often our most difficult one. Today Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson explore how we can become better friends to ourselves, and learn to like ourselves more.

What a beautiful father-son relationship.
Another incredibly helpful episode. Rick is now on my own imaginary Caring Committee.
I believe that so much about our struggle to enjoy ourselves lies in the LIES of what our culture “expects” of us. If we don’t possess the traits - I won’t degrade Qualities or Character here - then it’s almost impossible to develop as a healthy human that lives, cares for, and values themselves
It’s great that you’re creating material for discussion on the (and similar) themes.
I remember looking for resources on self-forgiveness - a significant struggle throughout my life - and even I until last year there was NOTHING on TH-cam or even the broader interweb.
Jeeeeez. I wish Rick was my dad.
Right?!
I like almost everyone under the age of 4 which tells you everything you need to know 😂
Yeah, clinical depression accentuates this about a hundredfold. "You are the only one you will be with every hour of every day for the rest of your life". Thanks for that, bringing that to the fore was a big help (semi kidding). I'm not sure if my depression was the result of the problem you are discussing or the cause, but it sure turbo'd the issue when it blossomed to the point where I literally slept full time (about 23 a day) for about three months. Meds help, but they certainly do not fix the problem.
Being raised by an engineer perfectionist dad that for some reason expected me to be adult capable as a fairly young child didn't help, but at least I've buried that hatchet. Apologies do wonders, especially from someone you love, and that loves you. Like everyone else alive, he screwed something up...go figure.
Having a superb support structure is critical to getting through this at least to the point I have. Everyone tells me I'm likeable, I guess it's just me that doesn't see it. I wrote that before you said it, just so you know I'm not a parroting idiot.
I need a friend I have no support structure at this time what do y’all think about leaving your email here in the comments on TH-cam do you think that would be OK?
Comparing what I think of myself with what I would think of the same thing in another person does me little good. I hold myself to a higher standard than I hold other people to. It's how I was raised.
Every podcast is full of gems that I can use to enhance my experience , raise awareness of myself and others, and reframe in ways that let me try some personal upgrades with curiosity and self- compassion. Love what you do, and the father-son banter makes me smile!😊❤
Thank you Rick for emphasising the need for tender compassion as well as fierce 🌹🙏 Also, it’s occurred to me, when you’re both talking about news channels, that (with respect to our minds/brains), it’s not that there is more bad news; it’s that the “bad news” channels get more airtime 🌹🙏🙏
nice to see "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, nd the Horse" on your shelf Forrest - lovely book!
Thank you, Forrest and Rick. It seems to me that this is one of the most important and useful teaching s that I have ever heard. I greatly appreciate this gift.
Really enjoyed your discussion on this topic. I recognized myself in it. Thank you!
I particularly enjoyed the ending imaginative guidance by Rick!❤
Love the summary you do at the end. Plus the time stamps. Plus your relationship with your father. 💕
Thanks!
