Hello Forrest,
I'm listening from London, UK. I really appreciate all your work and your father's too. Could you please do a talk on Health Anxiety. There are a lot of us who have anxiety around becoming sick and not being able to cope with a diagnosis because we have no family or friends who will support us. It would be great to hear your father do a meditation/talk on supporting yourself when walking alone (no family to support you) through illness too. Thanks for reading this if you do.
Cried at the story about young Rick, little Forest, pizza and burning condo Love your beautiful energy
Your content matter, and Bhaaa I love your dad! I get so much out of seeing you guys interact, is refreshing perspective. All videos on repeat.
This might be strange but sometimes I try to imagine that your dad is speaking to me. I grew up in a shockingly emotionally-stunted environment and your dad is just so … warm, empathetic and nurturing.
PS. You will be a great dad one day too, Forrest! Your parents clearly been wonderful guides in helping you navigate and understand life because I have not met a person your age who had reached even a fraction of awareness that you have🌼. Great podcast!
I do this too. I wish so much I would have grown up with a fader like Rick. Honestly it makes my heart sting when I think of how my life could have been with just one supportive adult at my side
Thank you Hanson and Rick! Solid, helpful and informative information. It make me smile inside when I hear a nugget that I can add to my current tools! Every little bit helps!
Also, since you mentioned your wife and Forrest’s mother, I want to give a shout out to her. She’s an awesome woman! Her knowledge, skill, and heart helped me save my own life many years ago. I had been very ill for years when I came to see her, she treated me for almost a year. I trusted her word and did exactly what she told me to do. Within a couple months I started feeling better, and within a year I was strong and healthy again. Today I use what she taught me, and pass along experiences to friends who ask and who are interested.
I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you!
Thank you gentlemen.
I love your podcast together. And Rick Hanson's podcast too. Very grateful.
Great content, far more informative than a lot of videos on anxiety. Thanks for posting, thanks for no background music or flashy graphics.
I love Dr. Hanson’s tales on LSD, encourage him Forrest!😁 Can we get a full psychedelic episode from his experiences? Also, is your dad wearing air tubes? Looks like it, smart man!
Anxiety is such a rich and complex topic, thank you so much for the practical advice, super helpful
😂 The last time I took LSD!!!! Have to pull a similar stunt on my teenage daughters 😂
Love you two so much ❤
Very helpful, thank you both!
Great information. Many thanks 👍
Thanks!
Forrest, honey - The flu is still a major real threat to many today, although I get your point entirely, but I just had to giggle when you said, "Thousands of years ago." My first reaction was " Ah...! No! 1812? Then, my inner Buddha said to me, AH!!(1/2 smile appears) Youth! 😌.
I'm old, but not old enough to actually remember, the days before penicillin,, back when the flu was a serious threat in general but those days never felt too remote to me. My grandfather's mother died from a simple infected tooth, for example. This link to the past was very alive to me, as my grandfather and his twin sister would regale us with stories of their bio mom's crazy flapper days that carried on
Rick- Walking Meditations were first introduced to me by a prif @ Antioch Seattle, back in '93.
Have you ever heard of genetic anxiety? I was told that I have it by two different doctors but there’s not a lot out there about it.
When I have an anxiety attack, it feels like I’m dying and going crazy all at the same time.
I have had anxiety since I had a really bad episode of vertigo a couple weeks ago.
🥰 Okay, let's go and get some pizza
Book? ❤ By when?
