Rethinking Happiness: Embracing the Full Spectrum of Emotions
PsychologistSay...
06/24/24 • 39 min
Can happiness be our default state? Join Dr. Tami and Harold as they challenge this widespread belief and unpack the unrealistic expectations society places on us. Through candid discussions, they reveal how the pursuit of constant happiness can lead to stress and disappointment. Listen as Harold shares a touching moment of joy playing with his son, which highlights the sporadic nature of happiness and how it often appears when least expected. Dr. Tammy explains how true contentment stems from feeling calm and safe, rather than perpetually happy.
Discover the intricate dynamics between pride and happiness in our next segment. Dr. Tammy and Harold delve into how pride in our achievements can stand alone, separate from the fleeting sensation of happiness. They stress the importance of embracing a full spectrum of emotions instead of being fixated on happiness. This nuanced understanding is especially crucial in relationships, where expecting constant happiness can create undue pressure. By navigating various emotions together, couples can foster a healthier, more resilient connection.
In the final part of the episode, we dissect the difference between genuine happiness and temporary euphoria. Dr. Tammy and Harold caution against external means like drugs or alcohol for seeking joy, as these often lead to short-lived highs rather than true fulfillment. They also tackle the evolution of our eating habits, pointing out how modern consumption has shifted from survival to pleasure, which has contributed to addictive behaviors. This discussion sets the stage for future conversations about how these habits impact our overall well-being. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that aims to reshape your understanding of happiness and the effort required to attain it.

Embracing Indigenous Wisdom: Redefining Happiness and Life's Cycles
PsychologistSay...
10/21/24 • 34 min
Join us for an enriching conversation with Miss Debbie, an esteemed Anishinaabe elder, as she invites us to rethink our relationship with happiness and life's journey. Discover how seeing life as a gift, rather than a struggle, can transform daily challenges into celebrations. Through a captivating exchange, Miss Debbie and I contrast different perceptions of "work" and happiness, illustrating how language and perspective profoundly shape our experiences. With the metaphor of a baby's first cry as a joyful sign of life, she encourages us to greet each day with gratitude and celebration.
Our journey doesn't stop there, as we examine the cyclical nature of life that Miss Debbie shares, challenging the linear views prevalent in Western psychology. The wisdom of our ancestors and the teachings of interconnectedness offer a fresh lens on happiness—one rooted in understanding our emotions as integral parts of us. Through the symbolism of the seven rocks, representing virtues like love and honesty, we emphasize the importance of community and living in harmony with all of nature. This episode is a bridge between complex psychological insights and practical well-being, offering actionable steps for a fulfilling life while fostering balance and respect for all living beings.
