Perfectionism is the tendency to set excessively high and unrealistic standards for oneself and others, and to evaluate one's worth based on the ability to meet those standards. Perfectionists are not satisfied with anything less than flawless results, and they often fear failure, criticism, or disappointment but constantly striving for perfection can have serious consequences.  You might think that being a perfectionist would make you more productive, but the opposite is true. If you're always aiming for flawless results, you tend to spend more time on tasks than necessary, or even avoid starting them altogether for fear of failure, meaning you end up procrastinating and delaying. A good example is given here by Dr Andrea Brandt in Psychology today:  “I'd like to write a novel” is a fantastic goal, whereas “I must finish a novel by the end of the year” is a perfectionist goal”. Perfectionists also have trouble delegating or collaborating with others, because they don't trust people to meet their high expectations. This can lead to missed deadlines, wasted resources, and poor performance.  How does perfectionism impact you? How does perfectionism impact your relationships?

When we have been unjustly accused of doing things we didn't do, the desire to clear the air is strong. Now, if you were dealing with healthy people, clearing the air would be the right thing to do. You aren't dealing with healthy people. Narcissists, Dark Triads, and the like LOVE to accuse the target of abuse of all sorts of things that THEY are themselves doing and then argue with or ignore the target of abuse when they try to defend themselves. It is a game where the rules are constantly changing and one in which you will never win!

Me passionnant pour les troubles de personnalité, j'ai eu envie d'approfondir la personnalité passive-agressive. C'est devenu assez présent dans nos vies, des gens frustrés qui n'osent pas exprimer ce qu'ils ressentent vraiment et qui tentent de le faire par des messages sous-entendus. On peut penser à des comportements en milieu de travail ou aux façons d'interagir sur internet. Nous devons transiger avec des faux-gentils, des gens qui font semblant de collaborer, mais qui en réalité, souhaitent saboter notre réussite. En lisant ce livre, j'ai réalisé que moi-même, j'ai recouru très souvent à ces fameux mécanismes au cours de ma vie. Concevoir cet épisode m'a permis de mieux comprendre la personnalité passive-agressive, comment intervenir auprès d'elle, mais aussi mieux me comprendre dans mes propres façons de réagir. L'ouvrage de la psychologue très expérimentée Andrea Brandt est très complet par ces conseils pratiques, les exercices proposés et les exemples évocateurs. J'adore son approche empathique. Comme elle le dit si bien, il faut haïr le péché et non le pêcheur. Les 8 clés proposées: Reconnaître la colère cachée en soi Connecter les émotions avec les pensées Écouter le corps qui nous parle Établir des frontières saines Communiquer avec affirmation Recadrer le conflit Interagir avec la présence attentive Désactiver le "facilitateur" en soi Ordre du jour 0m23: Introduction 13m34: Présentation du livre 17m11: La bulle du passif-agressif 33m34: Les 8 clés proposées pour éliminer les comportements du passif-agressif 1h05m20: Réflexion personnelle Pour encore plus de détails, consulte la page web de l'épisode

“Where your anger is, there you will find hidden wounds that need to be healed and grief that needs to be acknowledged” --Dr. Caroline LeafWhy talk about anger? Jess and her guest, Kylie Taylor, MA, LPC will tell you why.  Lots of people find themselves fearful of experiencing and being the recipient of anger. To some, anger can feel powerful and out of control. For these reasons, anger can be labeled as a “bad” emotion, but anger is often a normal, healthy response to perceived threats. It's a healthy emotion like all others, it's what you do with anger that can cause problems.  Listen in as Jess and Kylie, discuss the importance of being angry, how to notice feelings of anger in your mind and body, and how to best cope with this big emotion.Continue LearningPsychology Today “Is Our Culture to Blame for Our Unhealthy Anger?” by Andrea Brandt, Ph.D, M.F.T.American Psychological Association “Control Anger Before it Controls You”Good Therapy blog “The Magic of Anger” by Denise Renye, MeD, MA, PsyD.Therapist Aid “Anger Discussion Questions”Social Status and Anger Expression: The Cultural Moderation Hypothesis by Jiyoung Park and Shinobu Kitayama.

Episode #20: It’s me this week! I’ve received this question so many times while working with my courageous survivors, and recently a listener. Dr. Jen…why am I so angry? How do I stop feeling so pissed off!! I talk about this and my journey to understand this complicated emotion and in the words of Berne Brown…a powerful catalyst but a life-sucking companion. Things discussed: Berne Brown’s research and her new book Atlas of the Heart. You can find links to all her books https://brenebrown.com/ I also talked about the work of the Gottman’s specifically regarding physiology and increase heart rate. Here’s a great blog about this concept on the website https://www.gottman.com/blog/weekend-homework-assignment-physiological-self-soothing/. My email course which discussed the nervous system and how it impacts our stress response. One of my favorite resources for a book about anger is Andrea Brandt’s mindful anger book. Her book and website are here: https://abrandtherapy.com/ Takeaways Takeaway #1 It’s ok to be angry! But don’t stay there. Find ways to use it as a catalyst as it is a life-sucking companion. Takeaway #2 Work through your nervous system. There are probably great physiological reasons why you are feeling anger. Check out my free email course below, I talk about that a bunch there! Takeaway #3 Be mindful of your physiological state. Wearable technology has come a long way! Use measures of physiology as guides to rest and take a break when you are triggered or angry. More from Jen My email course, it’s free! https://view.flodesk.com/pages/606e5015d0ab2d0103020f8a

Here's the thing: A lot of us are lonely. Really lonely. And making friends? As an adult? It can feel kind of scary. Why does this matter? Well, Sherri Gordon on Very Well Mind cuts right to the chase: We want all that for you, so we're here with some advice on how to make friends Check out the people you work with One great way to make friends according to Dr. Miriam Kiramyer, a clinical psychologist interviewed by Emily Burns for The Cut is: “We all have workplace acquaintances that we know deep down could be something more. Dr. Kirmayer suggests taking the leap to growing those relationships. Find a common denominator you can bond over, like a shared hobby or interest! You don't have to talk about work. “Making an effort to gradually open up about different parts of your life, that can help to deepen that sense of connection,” said Kirmayer. Talk about your life, what you like to do in your free time, etc. Perhaps set up a Zoom coffee chat with your fave colleague or schedule a hangout with the neighbor you always joke with in the hallway. Very Well Mind has a slew of suggestions, but one that resonated with us is: “Reach Out to Neighbors “Many people don't realize they have a potential friend living right next door or across the street. They give the courtesy wave and immediately close their door, not even trying to start a conversation. But there may be some really great friendships waiting for you right next door. So the next time you are both out, do more than just wave.” And then there is . . . Be Brave You have to be brave (especially if you have social anxiety or are an introvert) to put yourself out there and ask someone to go have coffee or take a walk. It's like dating. You can feel rejected. But even if you are? And they say no? Be proud. You were brave and that poor bugger is missing out. Friendship is hard and it takes work. Friendship isn't about instant gratification. It's about time and connection. It's about sticking it out even when your friend is a twerp. And social media? It makes us feel connected and isolated all at once because it takes up a lot of time that we used to use for hobbies and hanging out in real time. I think our favorite piece of advice is actually from Psychology Today where Andrea Brandt writes: “Seek, and you will find “You know how you won't meet new people? By living every day like it's identical to the previous one and not mixing up your routine at all. A strategy with a high-return rate is to go places or do things you enjoy and see who you meet there. If you like to read, join a book club. If you're more physically oriented, join a gym or take a class in a new sport: golf, tennis, tai chi. The more it involves interacting with other people, the better.” So there you go. Be brave. Look for people. Reach out. DOG TIP FOR LIFE We have a new puppy in the house. Sparty could chose to be friends or not. He's still deciding. Sometimes it's okay to be picky.

Berliner helfen Berlinern! Das ist nicht einfach ein Spruch, sondern Realität. Jede und jeder Dritte hier in unserer Stadt engagiert sich ehrenamtlich: zB im Sportverein, im Naturschutz, der Nachbarschaftshilfe oder auch für Geflüchtete oder obdachlose Menschen. Da sich in der Hauptstadt sich so viele Menschen für andere stark machen, wurde Berlin 2021 der Titel „Europäische Freiwilligenhauptstadt“ verliehen. Eine Auszeichnung, die jährlich wechselt. Am 5. Dezember wird der „Staffelstab“ an Danzig übergeben. In den Experten schauen wir gemeinsam mit Andrea Brandt von der Freiwilligenagentur Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg auf ehrenamtliches Engagement in Berlin. Wir fragen, was das Tolle daran ist, ehrenamtlich tätig zu sein, wie Sie das richtige Ehrenamt für sich finden und ob ehrenamtliche Arbeit ein Karrierebooster ist.

Welcome! My guest for this episode is Dr. Andrea Brandt, a psychotherapist, speaker, and author who has much knowledge and experience to bring to the table. Her book, Mindful Anger: A Pathway to Emotional Freedom, explores revolutionary thinking on the topic of anger. Join us as we discuss mindful anger. What you’ll hear in this episode: Mindfulness and anger are not usually thought of as partners. Anger is almost always viewed as a negative emotion. “The Pleasure Principle” that humans live by teaches us to avoid anger. The goal? To get wisdom from your anger Anger helps us set boundaries, meet needs, and accomplish change. Andrea shares a personal example from her own family, where a passive-aggressive approach to anger stemmed from the murder of her grandfather by the Chicago mob in the 1920’s! Andrea later went through therapy and learned to get in touch with her feelings. She remembers being startled by the power of the energy in tandem with anger. “Anger is a very corrosive emotion if you don’t have the tools to deal with it.” Conflict and anger CAN strengthen relationships and don’t have to destroy them. Andrea shares how she uses snowglobe imagery to help clients deal with anger with mindfulness. “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”: how our anger belief systems are learned during childhood. Andrea’s book can help with anger in the following ways: Deepening your understanding of anger Learning new ways of perceiving and dealing with anger Using exercises to learn to benefit from anger Learning how to catch the impulse of anger Realizing what your triggers to anger are Learning to use assertive communication Using mindfulness and meditations in response to anger Helping passive-aggressive people deal with anger more directly “It’s not ANGER that needs to be managed, but the impulse that precedes the anger.” “Passive-aggressive people are deeply committed to INACTION.” Andrea discusses the mind-body connection to anger. How sensorimotor psychotherapy can be effective and powerful in dealing with anger Connect with Dr. Brandt at abrandtherapy.com or email her at abrandt@abrandtherapy.com. Find her book on Amazon!

Help me welcome Andrea Brandt, author of 8 Keys to Elminating Passive-Aggressiveness.  Andrea is going to teach us how to improve our lives. Passive aggressiveness.  You know what I mean.  It's when someone doesn't exactly tell you what they want or how they feel, but you can just tell that they are really angry.  I had a feeling that passive aggressiveness plays a big role in the world of stepfamilies. After all, a stepfamily is the perfect haven for people who just can't say what they mean.  We're afraid, right? This is a class that we all need and can't wait for all of you to join us!
