GOTG Holiday special with Sharon Blady Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

Family disruption, reparenting, and forming healthy relationships with found and existing family. Could this all exist in a fun and funny holiday special within the MCU? I think you know what our answer will be. Sharon Blady joins this 2023 Holiday Episode focused on the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. There was much more than we planned on finding within the psychological aspects of this Marvel show, apparently the end of Phase 4 (for those of us into that sort of thing).

Psychological Use of Gratitude with Dave Hart Nov 26, 2022

Show notes

This is a throw back session from 2016, when Dave Hart (of www.followingfilms.com ) and I sat down to discuss what a psychological tool for healing that gratitude can become. I am replaying it now because it is USA Thanksgiving in the USA, where I live, so gratitude was on my mind.

Gratitude is good for you! What better time to talk about this again than the USA Thanksgiving, which happens this week. And what better CoHost for this topic than the honey-drippingly sweet Guru of Gratitude himself, David Hart!

We discuss the use of purposeful gratitude, going deeper than meme culture positivity, the application of Acceptance, and much more! Sit around our virtual Thanksgiving table and pass the virtual potatoes, won't you?
