Please give Talking to Teens 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Reviews help other parents find us and helps us keep the lights on! Thanks for listening!It doesn't take long for a disagreement with teens to turn into a full-fledged battlefield. One minute, you're just trying to ask about their day, the next they're saying they hate you and slamming the door in your face. And no matter how much we resolve to make our interactions calmer and more productive, we seem to get stuck repeating the same drama over and over again.If we want to break free from this cycle, we have to find new ways to communicate with our kids. This requires us to go past the surface level and dive into how kids are really feeling-and what they really mean when they say “I hate you.”To help us escape from the cycle of miscommunication, we're talking to Rick Hanson, author of multiple bestselling books, including the most recent, Making Great Relationships: Simple Practices for Solving Conflicts, Building Connection, and Fostering Love. Rick is a psychologist, Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and the founder of the Global Compassion Coalition and the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom.In our interview, we're talking about why teens are so harsh in their communication with parents–and what they're really trying to do when they're hurling insults at us. Plus, how parents can be less reactive when kids are pushing our buttons.The Truth About Teen AngstTeenagers in TV, movies, and popular culture are often depicted as rude and rebellious–could our media be normalizing teen angst? This cultural conditioning definitely contributes to teens' attitudes, says Rick. Teens are also generally hardwired to be selfish, he explains, and since their biological development isn't quite complete, and they've still got some empathy left to learn. If you feel like teens are behaving selfishly, it likely isn't because they're inherently self-absorbed, it's teenagers as a whole. It can be helpful to remember that, and not take things too personally, says Rick.Behind our teen's anger, they're usually hurting, says Rick. Being a teen is no easy task, and our kids might be feeling lost or upset without any way to express their feelings. We expect teens to sit through school all day, ignore many of their most tempting pleasurable pastimes, and push them towards far-off careers that they may not even want. All of this combined with bullying, mental health issues, eating disorders, and the perils of social media can be pretty overwhelming, explains Rick. It might be wise to keep all this in mind the next time we think kids are being unreasonably moody, Rick says.In the episode, Rick explains how we can use empathy and imagination to reach kids instead. By attempting patience and open communication, we can create a more communicative environment where concerts and feelings are talked about in a real way, Rick explains. Intention is important, especially when it comes to interpreting teens behavior. If we assume they're intending to offend us or bring us down, then we'll retaliate, and the cycle of negativity continues.So how can we as parents react more patiently when kids are being difficult? Rick and I discuss how we can improve your communication in the episode.Creating Better CommunicationOne way we can foster positive communication with our teens is by embracing vulnerability, says Rick. Sometimes it can be challenging to find the right level of honesty without oversharing or losing our parental authority, but if we want to have open communication, parental vulnerability is key, he explains. If we tell them how their behavior makes us feel, they might start to understand the consequences that their words can have, or become more aware of the fact that you're not their enemy, says Rick.Sometimes, we've also just got to get to the bottom of what kids need, and find a way to create a compromise with them. When they're begging us for permission to go to a party where underage drinking and other shenanigans are bound to take place, Rick encourages us to listen and understand what they really want: to fit in, feel popular, and have fun. He suggests that we maybe let them go, so long as they promise to come home at a certain hour, prove that there's someone to drive them safely to and from, or whatever we feel comfortable with as a parent.No matter what, being criticized by teens is inevitable, and it's just something parents pretty much have to live with, Rick explains. We can't control what teens say to us, but we can control how we react, he says. At the end of the day, we might actually feel grateful to teens for their criticism, as it's a preferable alternative to being totally cut off. In the episode, Rick pulls from his experiences as a family therapist to share why teens end up cutting off parents as they move into adulthood and how we can prevent it from happening in our own families.When a teen starts to act up or things get heated between the two of you, it's easy to let our emotions get the best of us and turn us into yelling, screaming authority seekers. If we can learn to redirect our emotions instead, we'll be better off, says Rick. In the episode, he and I are discussing how we can stay cool, even when our emotions are running hot.The Value of Emotional RegulationRick and I talk in our interview about love vs. aspiration vs. authority, and how much of a role each should play in parenting. Rick believes that love, of course, should be a big part of how we treat kids, while also aspiring for them to improve and become better versions of themselves. Authority, on the other hand, is typically pretty ineffective, he explains. Of course, there are rules and boundaries that need to be set, but when there's a struggle between you and your teen, trying to squash it with your authority will never quite do the trick. Instead, you'll just push you and your teen farther apart.This need for authority is often tied to anger, which is one of the worst ways we can react when teens are pressing us. Rick reminds us how important it is to be in tune with our own feelings and ensure our emotional stability before lashing out a teen. If we take a minute to slow things down and chill out, we might realize that there's something below the surface of our anger–like concern for our teen's wellbeing or frustration over lack of communication. If we can then explain our feelings to teens instead of just hurling angry words, there's a much better chance that issues will be resolved, Rick says.Sometimes, this includes admitting our own faults, Rick says. If a kid tells us we never listen, what do they really mean? He encourages us to reflect and see where we might be struggling in the listening department, or what about a teen's criticism might have an element of truth. Admitting fault or at least learning to explain our behavior can be an important way of letting teens know that we care about their feelings and that we want to preserve our relationship with them, Rick says.In the Episode… Rick and I cover a lot of ground in this week's episode! On top of the topics discussed above, we also talk about: Why we can feel “stuck” in our relationships How we can put an end to moralistic shaming Why our brains are biased towards negativity How we can be less defensive If you enjoyed this week's episode, you can find more from Rick on his website, rickhanson.net.

Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast. This week we are re-releasing this episode with the incredible Dr. Rick Hanson. Throughout August I have a break from recording new episodes to reset, take a breath and reconnect with the family. During this period, we re-release the most downloaded episodes from the past 6 months. This episode with Dr. Rick Hanson came out in January 2022 and it instantly spoke to so many of you. I received 100s of emails and DMs about it from our listeners. So much resonates with me in this episode, particularly about the need to take the pressure off ourselves and how to do that. Dr. Rick is one of the world's leading psychologists and he says it's imperative we recognise the pressures we are under as mothers so we can support ourselves and ask for the support we need from others. Back in 2002, he wrote the seminal book Mother Nurture because he saw his own wife, a happy healthy woman, becoming clinically depleted after having children. And with his decades of experience as a psychologist, he felt called to support mothers. This episode is incredible. Every word Dr. Rick says is like gold. You are going to finish this episode feeling so much more self-compassion and ease and hopefully be kinder to yourself. In this episode you'll learn about: Practical ideas of how to reduce stress from Motherhood An analogy that made me cry His life-changing words about the impact of the pandemic As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.

"There's a gap between the realistic possible and the actual...and what can we do about it?" That's a premise we explore with our renowned guest, Dr. Rick Hanson, across numerous domains from the very personal to the political. Along with special co-host Savannah Nathan, we discuss the scientific observations of the benefits of meditation; Buddhism as a psychology and not necessarily a religion; and the nature of the mind and how it works. We also get into plenty of politics from unique traits humans developed over millions of years to many of the problems that ail us today to a simple yet ambitious vision Rick has articulated in the 2100 Project.

"There's a gap between the realistic possible and the actual...and what can we do about it?" That's a premise we explore with our renowned guest, Dr. Rick Hanson, across numerous domains from the very personal to the political. Along with special co-host Savannah Nathan, we discuss the scientific observations of the benefits of meditation; Buddhism as a psychology and not necessarily a religion; and the nature of the mind and how it works. We also get into plenty of politics from unique traits humans developed over millions of years to many of the problems that ail us today to a simple yet ambitious vision Rick has articulated in the 2100 Project.

While our recent episodes have focused on the reality in Myanmar, this show explores the condition of allies outside the country who support the democracy movement. Although free from physical harm and living in basic safety, many find that they shoulder a heavy emotional burden by immersing themselves so deeply in the struggles and trauma experienced every day by the people of Myanmar, even if from afar. Rick Hanson is a mindfulness practitioner “interested in bringing a kind of Mahayana spirit of foregrounding and appreciation of notions of emptiness and sort of the unconditioned ground of all, combined with the rigor and the clarity, and the precision and the moral foundations that we find in Theravada Buddhism and in early Buddhism altogether.” He is a Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and founding the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, as well as a best-selling author, penning Buddha's Brain among other important works. Rick suggests several good practices to become more grounded even in the most difficult of situations. First, there is mindfulness, which he describes as the “capacity to witness your experiences, rather than being completely consumed by them, completely swept along and hijacked by them.” He notes that the Buddha taught about the importance of balancing compassion with equanimity, and how strengthening the latter is able to build up the former. The second is a “feeling of heart,” which Rick characterizes as a sense of connection with other people, or perhaps any living being, or even nature. Third is in developing a more expansive physical perspective, such as gazing at the horizon or sky, which helps bring us into the present neurologically, and dissolves self-preoccupation. And, Rick advises us to be on guard against negative concepts that can easily become embedded in heart and mind.  For example, we can avoid becoming engulfed in the agony of the moment by recognizing the good that still exists in the world. Rick recommends as well that activists seek camaraderie among themselves, creating a community of mutual support, as well as to consciously imbue a sense of meaning and purpose into one's efforts. He strongly urges activists to engage self-care, such as finding time to rest. “You can't do this stuff 24 hours a day. You need a break!”

Ep. 6 (Part 2 of 2) | In this inspiring and empowering conversation, Rick Hanson spells out how we can use positive, self-directed neuroplasticity to hardwire our brains in order to become happier, cultivate virtues, deal with cravings, become deeply grounded, turn our desired states into stable traits, and more. Neurodharma is Rick's conceptual creation: a marriage of neuroscience, psychology, and contemporary wisdom that offers individuals who are out to make a change for the better an impressive and effective brain hacking toolkit. Rick's own gentle wisdom, compassion, clarity, kindness, and humor shine in this truly groundbreaking (for most of us) dialogue, making him a wonderful exemplar of the peaceful, loving, altruistic, and effective person practicing neurodharma can help us to become.

Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast. First of all, let me ask you a question, are you kind enough to yourself about how hard it is to be a mother today? Do you even truly recognise the day-to-day pressures with are all under? My guest this week is Dr. Rick Hanson. He is one of the world's leading psychologists and he says it's imperative we recognise the pressures we are under as mothers so we can support ourselves and ask for the support we need from others. Dr. Rick, back in 2002, wrote the seminal book, Mother Nurture. Because he saw his own wife, a happy healthy woman, becoming clinically depleted after having children. And with his decades of experience as a psychologist, he felt called to support mothers. This episode is incredible. Every word Dr. Rick says is like gold. You are going to finish this episode feeling so much more self-compassion and ease and hopefully be kinder to yourself. In this episode you'll learn about: Practical ideas of how to reduce stress from Motherhood An analogy that made me cry His life-changing words about the impact of the pandemic As you might know if you are a regular listener of the podcast, I have a list on my desk of dream guests that I want on my podcast. And as of today, after being on that list for a while, I get to finally tick off Dr. Rick Hanson. This episode with Dr. Rick is incredible. Please share it and listen to it once, even twice. I think if all mothers could listen to this episode it would be nothing short of life-changing.

Description: Bestselling author, psychologist and mindfulness teacher, Rick Hanson and I have a lively discussion about the role of personal responsibility and how it can be so elusive for people today. Join us as we discuss the role mindfulness practice can play in helping us show up more fully to our relationships with family, friends and co-workers such that we can sidestep our tendencies to duck and dodge responsibility. Rick and I even do a bit of role-playing as to how common it is to evade ownership of our errors with others, and the power of learning to more readily and compassionately own our mistakes with others.

"Yoga is my medicine," says Jennifer Degan. Jennifer has 30 years of practice as an educator, counselor, yoga teacher and somatic-based coach. Life brings her great joy and great challenge. Jennifer is a life-long learner, with the equivalent of two master's degrees. She is a member of Wellspring Institute of Mental Health Advanced Graduate Study of Trauma. Attachment and the Embodied Mind is her most recent pursuit. She began the transformative process of her life when she was very young. Her spiritual life opened with the death of a sister when she was six years old. She had a supportive family and people around her that helped her understand grief, sorrow, hope and connectedness to something greater, a spiritual connection to the God of her understanding. From the age of three on, she has known this deep connection resides in us, and that we have the capacity to use the intimate and profound happenings in our lives for greater good. Since this experience, she has transformed and grown from other life experiences. She was dropped at age 11 on her back during an Outward Bound program and carried off on a stretcher. That “trust fall gone south” only made her dig deeper into her capacity to push through pain, debilitation and challenge, and find new ways to discover hope. The experience of being dropped was only the beginning; she has since suffered brain trauma and surgery, multiple losses, and falls that keep her getting back up again, curious and aware that caring for ourselves is an important and necessary job to undertake, as we never know what will throw you back, literally! She takes her practice of life seriously. Hope, persistence, deep love and connections are a starting place for her yoga and meditation practice. She encourages all her clients to find their authentic voice. It is from this core source that we gain the most inspiration.

Dr. Rick Hanson joins Chris to share practices and discuss the neuroscience behind cultivating traits of inner resilience and mindfulness.Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a psychologist, senior fellow of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times best-selling author. Founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, he’s lectured at NASA, Google, Oxford, and Harvard, and taught in meditation centers worldwide. Learn more about Dr. Rick Hanson, his new book Neurodharma, his courses, and his podcast, Being Well, at rickhanson.net.

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Dr, Rick Hanson Ph.D. Rick describes himself as a neuropsychologist and is also a New York Times bestselling author and Senior Fellow of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. His books have been published in 29 languages with 900,000 copies being sold in English alone. He’s lectured at NASA, Google, Oxford, and Harvard, and taught in meditation centers worldwide. What all of that comes down to is that he is an expert when it comes to the brain and how it responds to various events and behaviors. This includes grief and loss, which is what we talk about a lot in this conversation. One of the first things I noticed about Rick in preparation for our time together was that he has such a systematic easy to follow approach to his teachings as well as his calm nature. I started our conversation by asking him about where he thinks that calm came from originally to which he credits some of it to his parents.  We also talk about how he explains the process of loss in the brain and why it might be that dealing with loss is harder for some brains than others. Rick shared some of the ways that we can move through loss and grief in a more resilient way including self-soothing, community, meaning making, and finding comfort in knowing that everyone suffers loss.   “There is something weirdly freeing and calming that happens when we locate our own losses within the tapestry of so many torn threads in the human fabric.” ~ Dr. Rick Hanson   Rick shares so eloquently his knowing of the Divine and particularly the feeling of coming home. He talks about what it feels like to come home through your breath and that when you come home to your body and emotions you develop more capacity and ease in all parts of your life. He feels that this process and ability to come home is the bridge between the brain and the deeper, felt sense of knowing we wish for everyone. Rick talks about the idea that all sickness at the core, is homesickness. When we lose someone we love, we can experience a kind of homesickness because we lose the sense of where and who we are and our world literally feels turned upside down.  There is something about the way he brings all the worlds together, scientific and spiritual, that is so profound and helpful. I hope you will listen to this. This conversation helped me to see my own experience of loss in a different way and I’m so grateful. When I asked him what he’d like everyone listening to take away from the conversation, his answer was simple yet so healing and beautiful. It was this, “You are good already.” It’s true. Without striving or pushing or accomplishing or anything else. Just as you are, you are good already. We can lose so much in our lifetimes, but Rick hopes you are able to hang onto this Truth that can never be taken away from you ~ you are good already. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Rick Hanson as much as I did. Please share it with your friends and family, and be sure to tag me if you share it on social media so that I can say thank you.

Do you want to be happy, joyful, at peace? I can’t imagine anyone would say no. But as a human we generally look to our circumstances to provide these things. Something else is being...resilient...meaning ‘able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions’? So in this show we get to what I’m tempted to label a root issue of our personal performance, but that doesn’t feel like it does us justice. It’s Our very selves, our joy, our peace, our very lives. Rick Hanson is a psychologist whose focus is neuroscience. He wrote the book “Hardwiring Happiness” that my business partner who is an MD, said I MUST read. I went to buy the book and saw he had a new book, “Resilient” - How To Grow An Unshakable Core Of Calm, Strength, and HappinessNow folks, this isn’t about merely “feeling good”. You can get a temporary feel good from many things, as i mentioned before...circumstances. But We’re talking the foundation of ourselves. Being Calm in any situation, strong overall, and having true, enduring happiness. Those are not easy things to attain, and few truly have. All you strive for, every day, is for an ultimate goal. What is it? To be miserable, or happy and joyful? To be stressed out and worried, or at peace? So this is not theory, it comes from Rick’s research. It is an eye-opening, profound conversation.

Unwind your neurological settings and get to know the REAL you.  Key takeaways: Your internal alarm. Have you ever felt like the world’s happening around you and instead of actively participating, you lock yourself inside your mind? All too often we go with the crowd, shrug off any opportunity to speak our truths, and then sadly miss our chance to experience our own power. Not anymore! Discover the 3-step process called “waking down”…[05:09]. Your empathetic compass. Sometimes it’s difficult to find compassion and vulnerability during a stressful experience. We want to be sympathetic, but we don’t want to be taken advantage of. Is there a way to have a balance when you’re in a hostile situation? Yes! Remember this ONE phrase to get you through it…[09:13]. Your stress responder. You’ve heard it before -- when you take greater risks, you gain more. The same applies to being more compassionate. Research shows that when you experience more compassion, those social experiences can actually make you more resilient. The science behind how having compassion can ACTUALLY have an impact on how you interpret stress…[20:41]. Your neurological footprint. There’s a powerful framework routinely used in psychology that states a person’s course of day, lifespan, or career is a result of their challenges, vulnerabilities, and available resources. It sounds tricky, but it’s not. Rick breaks down this idea and shares the SECRET to actually building your internal strength-- start here…[27:43]. (Hint: It’s not yoga or meditation). Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. You're never more than One Idea Away from a whole, new reality.
