Do you ever feel alone, even in your marriage? In this powerful episode of Master Your Marriage, we explore why loneliness hits so hard and how your brain is wired for connection. Sharla and Robert dive into the science of the relational brain, challenging the “go it alone” mindset of individualism. From Ed Tronick's “still face” experiment to James Coan's Social Baseline Theory, we uncover how co-regulation—syncing with your partner's nervous system—can transform your relationship. Through compelling stories, like a couple rediscovering connection amidst conflict, and the stark realities of isolation (from orphanages to solitary confinement), we reveal why connection isn't just a want—it's a survival need. Plus, we tackle the paradox: love can calm us, but it can also trigger us like nothing else. Tune in to learn how prioritizing your marriage can heal loneliness and build a healthier, happier life together.Key TakeawaysYour Brain Craves Connection: Science shows our nervous systems are designed to co-regulate, sharing emotions and stress with others to stay balanced and healthy.Loneliness Hurts—Literally: From infants in orphanages to adults in solitary confinement, disconnection can lead to physical and mental health crises.Co-Regulation in Action: Simple acts, like staying calm when your partner is stressed, can help them “borrow” your calm nervous system.The Paradox of Love: Marriage can be a lighthouse of safety but also a mirror, triggering old wounds—making a secure relationship essential for survival.Individualism's Downside: Prioritizing “me” over “we” can erode connection, but relationalism rebuilds trust and intimacy in marriage.Dive DeeperExplore these resources to deepen your understanding of how we're wired for connection:Ed Tronick's “Still Face” Experiment: Watch this YouTube video to see how a mother's blank face impacts her child, showing the power of emotional synchronicity.

Given the country's political divide, we often hear that conversations are the key to empathy and connection. Which is true. But that also doesn't scale very well. One way to combat this is to correct dangerous political misperceptions and help us find more overlap. In fact, a Hidden Tribes study shows that 85% of Americans are more similar than we think.Today, James Coan explains the Perception Gap and how it forces us to see each other as threats rather than with compassion. This applies to the workplace as much as politics. He talks about why conversations are great, but indirect interceptions also help close this gap and bring us together. This includes More Like US's work in education, journalism, and the arts to portray each other in a more accurate light. James also shares some advice for creatives and creators on how they can help. The work is intriguing and frankly, makes a lot of sense - and it can be used by corporate leaders as well. This conversation could not be more important right now, so please learn more about their work and take a listen. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Books, movies, and other media that feature characters who are “not like us” are not there to convert your children; they are there to expose people to different experiences and lives for better understanding. We're never going to be able to tap into the conversations and the empathy of listening to one another until we realize that we're closer than we think we are.People who feel threatened, especially to their safety and security, are more open to authoritarian tendencies. By focusing on the desire for atypical leadership, people are able to work better together rather than fight. "Every day Americans tend to be more similar ideologically than fellow Americans tend to realize. An average Democrat or Republican will agree on more and are less extreme than people realize." — James CoanEpisode References: Mónica Guzmán: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Divided Political TimesEdwin Rutsch: How Empathy Circles Can Change the WorldSimilarity HubTrusting NewsHidden Tribes StudyBridge Entertainment LabsBuildersBraver AngelsStanford Strengthening Democracy ChallengeFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

How Correcting Misperceptions Can Heal Political DividesEver wonder why political conversations feel more heated than ever? It might not be about the issues themselves but how we perceive the other side. In this episode of Outrage Overload, we explore the "perception gap"—the distorted views we hold about political opponents—and how correcting these misperceptions can reduce toxic polarization.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

In this episode, we talk with James Coan, Co-Founder and Executive Director of More Like Us, a national organization that seeks to correct political misperceptions – helping people see that we're not really as different as we sometimes think we are. Coan says the goal of More Like Us is to help bring scale to bridging efforts.For more information and to check out the lesson plans and other resources, go to MoreLikeUs.org.

When James Coan, a Liberal, decided to attend the Conservative Political Action Committee—one of the biggest conservative gatherings in the U.S.—his apprehension was high. Coan, co-founder and executive director of More Like Us, was on a quest to promote the idea that we are more similar than we think, despite our politically charged environment. But just showing up to the event wouldn't be enough. Coan was determined to face a task he found particularly daunting—engaging with conservative media personalities and pitching the mission of More Like Us. Initial interactions were tense and filled with uncertainty. Coan decided to stick with the discomfort. But would it pay off? We'd love to hear about an Uncomfy moment you've experienced. Can you think of a time when you felt your perspective or worldview challenged and instead of getting defensive or bailing out, you chose to lean into the discomfort and stick with it – and you're glad you did?

Listen to today's podcast... When it comes to holding hands it's not all about romance.  When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed. James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don't work as hard to cope with stress.  To hold someone's hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort. A poll showed that more than half of people couldn't remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died. Loneliness and depression are rampant in today's society.  Holding someone's hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Hand Holding Day: Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don't wait until it's too late and end up regretting that you didn't grab at the opportunity. Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said: . . .

Evnen til å sette seg i andres sko er en viktig menneskelig egenskap, men med venner tar vi det til neste nivå.En gruppe ved University of Virginia studerte hjerneskanninger fra 22 forskjellige personer som ble satt i situasjoner hvor de måtte administrerer små elektriske støt til seg selv, en venn eller en fremmed.Forskere oppdaget at hjerneaktiviteten til en person som selv står i fare (i dette tilfellet var faren at man snart ville få et elektrisk støt), versus den når en venn er i fare, i all vesentlighet er den samme. Vi har altså en lignende omtanke for venner som vi har for oss selv, mens dette endret seg når det kom til fremmede. Det viser seg at det vi oppfatter som vårt eget «selv», kommer til å inkludere de menneskene vi står nær. Mennesker nær oss blir altså en del av oss selv, og det er ikke bare metafor eller poesi, det er veldig ekte. Bokstavelig talt er vi truet når en venn er truet, oppsummerer psykologiprofessor James Coan.Mennesker kommer sammen for å utvikle seg. Vi er flokkdyr og tilpasset oss et liv i samhørighet med andre over tusenvis av år. Våre mål og ressurser deles med andre. Hvis noen truer en venn, truer de våre ressurser og mål, og dette er noe av det som binder oss sammen med andre.Det viser seg også at venner er livsviktig. Med solide vennskap lever man lengre, er lykkeligere og har bedre prognose ved alvorlig sykdom. Svake sosiale bånd er tilsvarende skadelig for vår hele. Uten nær venner forringes både livskvalitet og livslengde. Dagens episode skal dykke ned i det relasjonene landskapet. Jeg skal se på ulike typer vennskap og hva som binder dem sammen. Jeg skal også undersøke parforhold. Gode parforhold er types sett forankre i gode vennskap, og da er det nok en gang interessant å utforske grunnsteinene i gode vennskap. Velkommen til en vennskapelig episode av SinnSyn.AvslutningHvordan vi omgås venner er altså blant de viktigste faktorene i et (psykisk) helseperspektiv. De fleste av oss vet at vennskap er viktig, men det er ikke sikkert vi vet akkurat hvorfor det er så viktig. Hundrevis av artikler i velrenommerte tidsskrifter kan begrunne relasjonens avgjørende plass i menneskelivet. I løpet av livet vil vi i gjennomsnitt få 396 venner, men kun 1 av 12 vennskap er langvarige. Hvis vi ikke har noen venner, viser det seg at det er svært helseskadelig. Det er faktisk skadeligere å være uten venner enn det er å røyke eller være overvektig.En studie fra 2004, publisert i American Social Review, kan fortelle oss at det gjennomsnittlige antallet fortrolige relasjoner mellom venner er redusert med en tredjedel i løpet av de siste 20 årene. Det er en gammel studie, men tredende har dessverre fortsatt. I dag lever vi med enda færre fortrolige vennskap enn noensinne. I samme periode viser det seg at antall mennesker som ikke har noen fortrolige vennskap har doblet seg.En annen interessant studie kan fortelle at mennesker som får alvorlige somatiske diagnoser, har bedre prognoser dersom de har et solid sosialt nettverk. I følge en studie som er gjennomført over 10 år ved Senter for alderdom ved Flinders Universitet viser at mennesker over 70 år med mange gode venner lever 22 % lengre enn de som har færre venner og svakere sosiale bånd. Dette er altså viktig, og dersom du vil høre mer om vennskapets psykologi og hvordan man tilstreber sterkere bånd i eget liv, tar jeg tematikken videre i episode #35 på Patreon. Episoden heter rett tog slett «Vennskapets psykologi». Dersom du velger å følge denne linken i shownotes til min patreon-konto, har du også mye annet i vente. På min Patreon-side finner du over hundre andre poster fra denne podcasten. Her er det nærmere 50 ekstra-episoder av SinnSyn, et tyvetalls episoder med mentale øvelser, mye videomateriale og jeg leser bøkene mine, kapittel for kapittel, slik at Patreon til slutt huser lydbokversjonen av mine tre bøker. Hvis du finner verdi her på SinnSyn, vil ha mer SinnSyn hver måned, og har lyst til å støtte prosjektet, slik at jeg kan holde hjula i gang her på podcasten, er et abonnement på Patreon av stor betydning for dette prosjektet. Du kan selv velge beløp per måned, og beløpet vil altså gi deg et medlemskap på mitt såkalte mentale treningsstudio. Jeg vil også nevne at et slikt abonnement kan avsluttes når som helst med et par tastetrykk. Jeg vil også benytte anledningen til å takke alle dere som allerede er Patreon supportere. Det er lyttere som dere som sørger for at lysene er på her inne på SinnSyn uke etter uke, måned etter måned, år etter år.

Most everyone has heard of the siege Khe Sanh. Did you know that before Khe Sanh there was the siege of Con Tien. The siege of Con Tien took place on May 8, 1967 which was exactly 10 years after the siege of Dien Bien Phu - only this time the outcome was significantly different. The North Vietnam lost several thousand soldiers this time. Listen and learn about the tough and determined Marines and Marine Tankers who sowed the NVA just how different the Marines are from the French. Listen to one of the knowledgeable Marine Officers lay out the details of one of the most dangerous places in all of Vietnam. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/francis-remkiewicz/message

Homelessness is an unfortunate reality for many military veterans. Jimmie Fedrick says having a support system and an active social life can be key to turning their lives around. And: Loneliness is more than just a horrible feeling. Studies show that it can actually have adverse health effects. Pam Parsons founded the Richmond Health and Wellness Program, which helps reduce social isolation among the elderly. Later in the show: How can we be alone together in the pandemic? In a world without skin-to-skin contact, James Coan thinks the next best option might be something equally uncomfortable for many people: singing. Plus: Covid quarantine takes a particular toll on kids and their parents. Danielle Dallaire says families who normally need extra support are struggling even more now.

When it comes to holding hands it's not all about romance.    When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed. James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don't work as hard to cope with stress.    To hold someone's hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort.   A poll showed that more than half of people couldn't remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died.   Loneliness and depression are rampant in today's society.  Holding someone's hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation.   So Here are today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Hand Holding Day:   Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don't wait until it's too late and end up regretting that you didn't grab at the opportunity. Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said: . . . Share everything. . .When you go out in the world, Watch out for traffic, hold hands, And stick together. . . .   If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Hello fellow memelords and memestresses, we had a chat with James Coan this week on how you can not ONLY can you use memes for fun and profit, you can also use them to try to create a better society! As has been an ongoing theme this season, we wanted to focus on not just the problems our generation is identifying in our society, but also the possible solutions, and like our housing episode, James actually has some really innovative solutions to how we should lessen the vitriol in America, from creating targeted Heineken ads to changing the ways the Facebook algorithms work so they deprioritize sensationalistic or vitriolic political posts. All of this strategy is based on the belief that humans are fundamentally emotional in the ways we form political opinions, and thus the way James chooses to combat polarization is grounded in emotion as opposed to focusing on specific political issues like abortion or gun control. If you found this conversation with James insightful or inspiring, especially if you are interested in contributing to the kind of work he is doing, you can reach out to him at james@redbluetogether.org. You can also read an article he published with further thoughts on polarization in America and how we can address it here: https://www.better-angels.org/our-descent-toward-political-loathing-resentment-and-distrust-and-how-we-rise-again/ Music is The Beauty of Maths by Meydän. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/im-the-villain/support

En este episodio 5 de Elemental Podcast abordo un tema importante que a veces se pasa por alto, el tiempo de juego libre en los niños. Continúo hablando acerca de los falsos recuerdos, cómo se forman y si debemos fiarnos o no de nuestra memoria. Por último, en visiones del futuro me adentro en la tecnología que ya está casi aquí que nos permitirá predecir los estados de ánimo.Para el que quiera revisar algunos estudios y artículos sobre el tiempo de juego libre, aquí tenéis acerca del aumento de depresión y ansiedad en niños, los resultados académicos en Finlandia, acerca del programa Liink de Texas y su aumento de tiempo para los recreos, y por último un interesante artículo de la Asociación Americana de Pediatría apoyando el tiempo de juego libre.En relación a los falsos recuerdos, os dejo un artículo acerca del impacto de las emociones sobre nuestros recuerdos, otro acerca del efecto de desinformación, sobre los estudios de Loftus y Palmer del 74, y el efecto “perdido en el Centro Comercial” de James Coan del 97, y por último una charla TED de la propia Elisabeth Loftus acerca de la “Ficción de la memoria”.En visiones del futuro profundizo en los dispositivos wearables que nos permitirán analizar y predecir nuestros estados de ánimo en el futuro. Os dejo un enlace para saber más acerca de las conductas suicidas, sobre cómo medir el estrés analizando nuestro uso de las redes sociales, y un estudio sobre medición de biomarcadores mediante el uso de wearables.Dejadme vuestros comentarios y sugerencias en mis redes sociales (facebook, twitter, linkedin e instagram) o en mi correo.

We have more control over our happiness than we think. And if we follow the advice of the most cutting-edge happiness researchers, we can help others achieve it, as well. Emiliana Simon-Thomas happens to be one of those researchers. A neuroscientist and Science Director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, she speaks and writes about the connection between happiness, meaning, compassion and wellbeing. She also co-teaches an online course, The Science of Happiness that, to date, has been taken by over 450,000 people. In this interview we discuss: Just how important social relationships are to our happiness and wellbeing How our baseline for study is social, not solitary The fact that social deprivation leads to greater stress, lowered resilience, and less happiness How friendships helps us reframe challenges as more achievable The fact that an ongoing sequence of pleasurable moments does not guarantee happiness How happiness is derived from a rich emotional life that includes negative emotions How happiness speaks to the ease with which we experience the entire range of human emotion The fact that happiness stems from our ability to transcend ourselves - to view our lives in relation to a bigger purpose How the ways we spend our time, where we put our focus, and how we view others determines our happiness How forgiving others can have a greater impact on us than the person we forgive How mindfulness is about noticing the world beyond ourselves How graduates of the Science of Happiness course show significant improvement when it comes to happiness, flourishing, and connections to others, along with decreased loneliness and stress The fact that the quality of our relationships has a significant impact on our happiness The game changing difference it makes when we express our gratitude toward others How practicing gratitude helps us feel more optimistic, decreases our self-absorption, and increases feelings of pleasure that can create a reinforcing loop How practicing gratitude and showing appreciation can shift workplace culture The difference between valuing someone for who they are versus what they achieve How our ability to express gratitude and to show compassion are culturally influenced habits, not gendered skills How the data shows that happier employees are more productive, more engaged, more loyal and more attentive to creating a better customer experience The importance role self-compassion plays in our ability to be happy, to show compassion to others, and to improve or maintain our wellbeing Links to Topics Mentioned in this Podcast Emiliana R.

I det tjugoåttonde avsnittet av podden pratar vi om personlighetsstörningar och närhet. Gäst är läkaren och forskaren Pär Höglund. Personlighetsstörningar förekommer hos ungefär tio procent av befolkningen, men är betydligt vanligare inom psykiatrin. Man delar upp dem i tre olika kluster: kluster A - udda eller excentriska störningar, kluster B - dramatiska, emotionella eller oberäkneliga störningar, och kluster C - räddhågade störningar. I det här avsnittet berättar Pär lite kort om varje personlighetsstörning i de tre olika klustren, bland annat Borderline (eller emotionellt instabil personlighetsstörning) och narcissistisk personlighetsstörning.Han berättar vad som karaktäriserar de olika personlighetsstörningarna och tar upp lite av den kritik som uttrycket har fått. Christian berättar om närhet och vad det betyder för människors psykiska och fysiska hälsa. Bland annat tar han upp den omtalade artikel som publicerades i Svenska Dagbladet för ett par veckor sedan, där forskaren James Coan berättar om väldigt intressanta studieresultat.Hjälp till att hålla podden gratis och få tillgång till Dokument-serien på: http://patreon.com/sinnessjuktKöp Christians böcker och tavlor signerade här: https://vadardepression.seKöp Sinnessjukt-tishan här: http://sinnessjukt.se/butikBoka föreläsning här: http://vadardepression.se/forelasning-psykisk-ohalsa/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
