    Wanna Feel Less? Become A Rock! with Mark Freeman

    When big feelings arise, it’s natural to want to shrink and shirk them - but these instincts can lead us into dangerous territory, ballooning into habits and compulsions that can dominate and destroy our lives.  In this episode, we welcome Mark Freeman, author of You Are Not A Rock. Together, we discuss: Building mental health skills like we develop physical fitness Approaching a ‘Values-Led’ life like we make good cookies And what sorts of communities are important in our growth and recovery ——   Show notes: We love hearing from you!

    The Dopamine Delusion with Dr Anastasia Hronis

    Big feelings can pull us here and there, but often in the direction of pleasure and away from discomfort. Dopamine has a part to play, but what exactly does it do for us and how can we be wise and mindful when following its pull?   In this episode, we welcome our first ever guest, Dr Anastasia Hronis, author of The Dopamine Brain. Together, we discuss: The horrible inevitability of sitting with discomfort Our pursuit of feeling good and where it might lead us astray And why values are essential on our path to live rich & meaningful lives. ——   Show notes: We love hearing from you!

In this episode, we reveal: The major plot twists of our lives and how we survived them The painful exercise in pushing through when life shoves us into the unknown How to exist in the story before growth, closure or resolution And why resilience looks much messier, sloppier and tear-stained than we ever expected ——   Show notes: We love hearing from you!

    Dating While Neurotic

    It’s a jungle out there for functional neurotics looking for love. Dating demands you bring your best self to the table, but what truths do we disguise in our effort to make ourselves more appealing and palatable to others? Coming up, we explore: What it means to be passionate and intense when men want laid back and easy going Going with your gut when a dynamic doesn’t feel  right Why it feels risky to put your big-feelings on display too soon And why it’s alright to be an acquired taste ——   Show notes:   We love hearing from you!

    The Severance Strategy

    Do you routinely cut yourself off from feeling? Do you bristle at the act of having to perform a “work-friendly” version of yourself? There are many ways we compartmentalise ourselves and our emotions. Coming up, we explore: The themes of Severance, and what they mean for authenticity and emotional truth Taking a break from the “performance of identity” Emotional pain avoidance and why its not a workable strategy And the healing power of feeling in concert with others ——   Show notes: We love hearing from you!

    Perfecting the Silent Treatment

    Are you an expert at the sulk and serving up the silent treatment? It can be hard enough managing our own big feelings but what about when we need to let our loved ones in on our emotional chaos in a way that won’t leave them running for the hills?   In this ep, we chat about: Pre-gaming emotional tiffs before they blow out Growing out of the allure of the soulmate and having grown-up conversations Sharing observations, feelings and stating what we need in our relationships And what happens when we say what we want, but we still don’t get it ——   Show notes:   We love hearing from you!

    Remedy to Rumination

    We finish off our two-parter on overthinking and take a deep dive into the emotions we’re ignoring when we retreat into rumination.   We explore: Whether complex emotions are the culprits luring us into overthinking Why “why” is a fraught question to ask ourselves when we’re feeling vulnerable How to get out of our heads and into our bodies with mindfulness-based inquiry And the challenge smart people face in stepping away from the intellectual into something more poetic and slippery ——   Show notes:   We love hearing from you!
