Anger can arise without taking over. Naming it authentically—without acting from it—can help us set boundaries with clarity and strength.

You’ve made it through every bad day you’ve ever had. That’s resilience. Not in a hypothetical way, but a proven one—by virtue of the fact that you’re here, right now. Anxiety often pulls us into stories of what might happen, but one of the most powerful antidotes is recognizing your own strength and building a sense of safety within yourself.
This clip is from today's episode of the podcast, where @f.hanson and @rickhansonphd explore limerence, love, and navigating life transitions. Listen to the episode at the link in our bio!

What should you look for in a relationship? @f.hanson shares three simple qualifiers:
1. They think you’re awesome (because you deserve someone who truly values you).
2. They’re fundamentally kind. Look for kindness in their everyday interactions, like how they treat service workers or children.
3. You genuinely enjoy being around them. Do they make you feel bigger rather than smaller when you're around them?

Everyone deserves to feel like they matter. @rickhansonphd reminds us that, too often, people settle for relationships that are shallow or one-sided, leaving them feeling unseen and unfulfilled.
The truth is, you deserve a relationship where you are valued deeply and genuinely, with people who are ready to show up and give their hearts.

Situationships often persist because we avoid asking the tough questions that would bring clarity. Is it fear of rejection? Protecting ourselves from pain? Or something else entirely?
This week's episode challenges us to reflect on why we might avoid seeking the truth in our relationships and how taking action can lead to greater emotional freedom.

Resolutions don’t have to feel like work to be meaningful. In our latest episode of @beingwellpodcast, @f.hanson and @rickhansonphd discuss how the most sustainable goals come from a place of joy and fulfillment—not just hard work. What if you gave the pen to a more nurturing part of yourself, or even asked someone who loves you to suggest things they think would truly bring you happiness? Let your goals reflect what lights you up, not just what you think you 'should' do.
This week's episode is titled, Discover What You Want in 2025.

Why do New Year's resolutions usually fail by February? @f.hanson and @rickhansonphd explore why traditional goal-setting falls short and offer a new approach to creating lasting change.
They discuss how we can uncover our authentic wants and needs, move away from a punishment mindset, and use our new knowledge to find fulfillment. This episode will teach you how to get the most out of any other New Year’s content you listen to.
They walk through a practical example of brain dumping “shoulds,” shifting the focus from means to ends, and working with internal resistance. They end the episode with a role-play focused on working with someone who wants to find a more meaningful relationship.

How do attachment styles shape the way we seek safety and connection?

In this week's Attachment Masterclass episode, @f.hanson is joined by @drsuejohnson, @rickhansonphd, @thesecurerelatipnship, and @elizabeth_ferreira_somatics to talk all things attachment. Listen at the link in our bio!

The word "trauma" has become more broadly used in recent years, and while this can help more people feel seen, it can also create tension. Some feel their experiences are diminished when the term is applied too broadly.
@elizabeth_ferreira_somatics offers insight into why this reaction happens: it often stems from a deep need to be seen. Expanding the definition of trauma can feel threatening to those who feel their pain has already been overlooked or dismissed.
@elizabeth_ferreira_somatics reminds us of the importance of holding space for everyone’s experiences while ensuring that no one’s pain is excluded or minimized. This work requires compassion, nuance, and the courage to have hard conversations.
