Feeling Feelings Podcast

Listen to Graham and Professor Tiffany Brown discuss opioids, addiction, and recovery.  We explore current best practices and optimal approaches to creating healing relationships and communities. Explore how addiction presents in family systems and possible approaches that support recovery.

Listen in as guest Laura Wrzesinski and I discuss what it means to feel "okay" and how people approach generating change in themselves and their functioning.  Explore how people can get stuck in thoughts about "if only", the moral underpinnings present for most people in creating change, and how to cope with difficult persistent feelings.

Listen in as Nina Hidalgo and I explore the experience of being "stuck" and how to use these moments to generate change and alter trajectories.  We also discuss rigidity and how this often reflects an internal drive for change that is interacting with the wider world.

Explore common motivators and barriers to change. Also learn about the systemic nature of change and how intra/interpersonal systems support change.

This episode covers a particularly common relationship dynamic wherein people struggle to meet the needs of others while working to get their own needs met as well. People often struggle to communicate and receive the needs of others which, in turn, generates relational conflict.

Jennifer and I discuss some general aspects of dialectical behavioral therapy as well as Jennifer's personal experience with this approach.
