I gotta tell ya, if I didn't get anything more out of this video (and I did) that this father and son are talking and relating to each other on such a comfortable adult level, it would have been more than enough. Thank u.

You guys never miss a beat. Between you guys and Dr. K from HealthyGamer, I'm able to wrap my head around my head. I've gained so much clarity on how I am and how I can grow into a healthier human. Even in the way you respectfully interact with each other is wonderful and a great example of how to engage deeply. You guys are saving lives ❤️

So very helpful. I think I have been stuck for quite sometime now within my mind.
I think it's time I looked right left and back and realized I am the one holding the Cage.
Beautifully presented

This episode found me smiling as I remembered what Wayne Dyer said about the "shoulds" and "musts" we put upon ourselves. He said (paraphrasing), "Let's stop "shoulding" on ourselves.😂. At another point he asked, "Why are we always 'musturbating'....I MUST do this or I MUST do that."🤣
I love catching people with this and seeing their initial shock before clarifying. A sense of humor is crucial, in my opinion.😜
Thank you for your ongoing excellent content!🙏🏻

This podcast has me feel so seen and feel so much compassion for myself in the process of changing my outside life. Since the beginning of my healing process, mountains have moved in my internal world and now I feel like I am stuck in a very incongruent life. Thanks Forrest and rick for all your podcasts.

Forrest, I love your shirt. I’m only 10 seconds into the video. But/And I love your shirt. Lmao.

The movie analogy was also made by Miguel Ruiz, in the Four Agreements.

Feeling bad? It really depends on the situation. Some things have been real and awful that have happened. Time heals a bit. Keeping busy. Practising self compassion.

Tofu like tissue inside the coconut 😂 this made me laugh so hard!

[Ross_Embossed]

I'm new to your series and grateful to see a healthy Father-Son partnership...
*But can Pops PLEASE teach Son how to set your books on the shelf‽‽‽‽*
That's just an example of how I fixate on quirks and irks and discredit / judge people because I want to believe your discussions can help me see my issues better, but I even doubt that ANYONE can help me 😮‍💨

Which was the episode recently in which Rick gave 3 reasons for going on living?

[shreyabollock]

The pranksters were not all that and a bag of chips. I know Paul fosters daughte who was going to be named after Neil Cassidy if she was a boy…. Too many drugs in my humble opinion
