  • Summary

  • Dr. Rick and Forrest continue their series on the stress responses with the “fight” response to stress. They explore anger, repression, and the balance of self-expression and self-regulation before talking about how we can claim the adaptive aspects of the fight response without falling prey to its more problematic aspects. A major focus of the episode is resentment and repression, alongside related topics like empowering yourself, managing expectations, and “experiencing out.” You can watch this episode on YouTube.

Utility

As a psychology student and fellow being, this show is really a great balance between kindness and rigor. Dr. Rich Hansen is a legend in his own right, and the host Forrest Hansen, is also very impressive. With his soft tone, Forrest explains complex concepts in a super relatable way, and is showing a deep understanding of the human experience by focusing in on relevant topics to enjoy as stand alone’s, and that ties neatly together as a wholistic perspective. Forrest’s ability to summarize the content is truly impressive and relatable. Not to mention the sweet chemistry between son and father, filled with love, respect and a quirky sense of humor.
