In This Interview, Eric, Ginny, Rick, and Forrest Discuss Learning How to Be Well and …
Their podcast, Being Well
The “dreaded experience” and how we organize our lives to avoid our fear, shame, vulnerability
How growth comes from facing and leaning into our dreaded experiences
Limiting beliefs and how our self-conception is 6 months out of date
Understanding that our brains are forecasting machines
Rick’s experience in a body massage skills workshop
Pausing to take in the positive experiences that come on the other side of facing the dreaded experiences
The assumptions that Forrest must be perfectly adjusted being the son of a psychologist
Nature versus nurture and how we all have wounds to deal with, no matter our upbringing
The upper reaches of potential 
Becoming comfortable with the experience of admitting fault is how we free ourselves
Asking where the forces of control are in our lives
Distinguishing between our internal and external forces
How our circumstances can be unfair, and yet our healing is our responsibility
We have a moral responsibility to decide which “wolf” we will feed 
The hope in knowing that all storms will pass
