Reclaim With Thais Sky

There are a lot of difficult parts of being human, and all of those things tend to revolve around feelings that arise within us that are hard to tolerate. Feelings that we have never been taught to feel. Feelings that we have been told are bad. Feelings that now, when they arise, overwhelms, paralyzes and collapses us. In this new series on RECLAIM called Reclaiming What Is Hard, I want to break down some of these difficult feelings, shed light on what they may mean, and explore different ways of thinking and relating to them so that you may find wisdom in what is hard. In this episode, I explore anger, aggression, rage and how our relationship with anger may be getting in the way of the relationships we want.   To grab the show notes go to www.ThaisSky.com/podcast/211.   If you like what you heard, it would mean the world to me if you took a moment to leave a review and share this podcast with your community.   Thank you for your generous attention.

Our society is currently grappling with an intense fascination with narcissism. It feels like in some ways it is everywhere, with thousands if not millions of articles, social media posts, and books being written about the topic. The word is used so much that we have in many ways lost sight of its original purpose. If everything is narcissism, is anything narcissism? In this episode I bring psychotherapist Meredith Redding onto the podcast to help us understand more about what narcissism really means and how we can understand it in a way that maintains its philosophical integrity.   To grab the show notes including all the information on today’s guest, go to www.ThaisSky.com/podcast/196.   If you like what you heard, it would mean the world to me if you took a moment to leave a review and share this podcast with your community.   Thank you for your generous attention.
