    Beat Your Genes Podcast

    Evolutionary psychology with Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Nathan Gershfeld, D.C.

    Most psychology advice treats your brain like a broken machine. Beat Your Genes starts somewhere different: your instincts aren’t broken. They’re just optimized for a Stone Age environment that no longer exists.

    Dr. Lisle – Evolutionary psychologist, former Stanford lecturer, and co-author of The Pleasure Trap – has spent decades developing frameworks that explain human behavior from the ground up.

    Nathan Gershfeld, D.C. – trained first as an electrical engineer and then spent 14 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic. He brings a systems thinker’s curiosity to every conversation. He mostly lets Dr. Lisle talk.

    Topics include relationships and attraction, self-esteem, personality, depression and anxiety, willpower, the ego trap, and how pushy people exploit agreeable ones.

    380+ episodes. New episodes every other week.

    54: Repairing a strained relationship: On-air session with Olivia & Dr. Lisle Feb 23, 2017
    Show notes

    Most people try to fix a conflict with a difficult parent by defending themselves better, explaining themselves more clearly, or finally landing the point that wins the argument. Dr. Lisle says that approach guarantees failure. When two people are locked in what he calls a vicious cycle, the only move that actually reverses it is the one that feels most counterintuitive.

    In this on-air clinical session, Olivia calls in about a deteriorating relationship with her disagreeable father, and Dr. Lisle walks her through the exact technique he has used in practice to reverse vicious cycles, a method he calls flood the circuit. He explains the evolutionary logic behind why arguments feel so weaponized, why close relationships tip into the worst cycles, the attribute anecdote structure, the sunflower test for narcissism, and how to hold your own ground without relighting the fire.

    Key question covered: How do you stop getting pulled into arguments with a narcissistic parent and actually repair the relationship before you move out?

    Beat Your Genes is co-hosted by evolutionary psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld, DC.

    New episodes every other week.
