#210: NBA Finals Game 5

Everyone gets stuck sometimes: in a creative pursuit that stalls, in a job or a relationship that isn’t working out, or even just at an exercise plateau. NYU psychologist Adam Alter, PhD, author of “Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most,” talks about why getting stuck is such a universal experience, what you can do to get stuck less often, how you know when it’s time to quit versus push ahead, and the practical steps you can take to get past the mental or emotional hurdles that are keeping you stuck.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, I interview one of the most important, pioneering and impactful writers and novelists working today, Ruth Ozeki. 

In this episode, we deep dive into looking, writing, observation and perception in a fascinating discussion that traverses objects, the written form, imagination and memoir. 

She is the author of four novels, My Year of Meats (1998); All Over Creation (2003); A Tale for the Time Being (which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2013 and won the LA Times Book Prize); and more recently, The Book of Form and Emptiness (for which she won the Women’s Prize for Fiction) – an extraordinary novel centred on 14 year old Benny who, after his father dies, begins to hear voices, with other objects in a magical realist sense taking on roles to speak. Ozeki’s work is powerful, it breaks boundaries and reinvents storytelling and often melds ancient ideas with contemporary ones – looking at how they relate to our technology, religion, politics or pop culture. 

In addition to her writing work, Ozeki is a Zen Buddhist priest, ordained in 2010 and a role that has influenced her two most recent novels; and a filmmaker, hailed for her 1995 work Halving the Bones, that looks at three generations of Ruth’s maternal family history from Japan, to Hawaii and to a suburb in Connecticut. 

But, aside from this, it is also Ozeki’s non-fiction work that I highly admire, in particular her 2016 book “Timecode of a Face” – a part-memoir, part-experiment – influenced by a Harvard art historian that saw her sit in front of a mirror for three hours and examine her face as she traces each line, mark, crease and feature back to story from her past – which I cannot wait to get into in this episode!

It's not only the headliners at Glastonbury and winners at Wimbledon who strive for perfection in their lives. Psychologist Dr Tom Curran says people in all walks of life are prone to believing they're not quite "good enough". The pressure to be perfect can come from inside ourselves or from society, via social media as well as our friends and family. He says perfectionism isn't about doing things faultlessly - it's about feeling that you are never good enough even if you get a gold medal. 

Tom Curran is a perfectionist himself and experienced burnout because of pressure from unachievable goals. Our studio guest Dr Peter Olusoga who's a sports psychologist says burnt-out athletes can end up withdrawing from their sport and resenting their coach if too much emphasis is placed on winning, instead of a more holistic approach. He also talks about how a study of teenagers at specialist "talent" schools in Norway might help to identify when students are under too much pressure as they try to balance practice with academic work and friendships. 

The last All in the Mind Awards finalist is Trinia - a community psychiatric nurse who supported Rae even when she was rude to her. Trinia's persistence paid off - helping Rae to get an allotment and start painting has made her feel like life is worth living again.

Bindaetteok is something 'The Korean Vegan' author Joanne Molinaro grew up eating all the time, and so, kind of took for granted. It wasn't until college that Joanne became excited about seeing the mung bean pancakes out at restaurants; here is her recipe for a vegan version.

Determination, hard work and sacrifice are core ingredients in the story of the American dream. But philosopher Jennifer Morton argues there is another, more painful requirement to getting ahead: a willingness to leave family and friends behind. This week, we revisit a favorite 2020 conversation about the ethical costs of upward mobility.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews Dr. Han Ren (she/they) who is doing big things on social media to normalize C-PTSD symptoms, promote liberatory psychology and anti-oppression work and show that being human is not a problem - even if you’re a mental health professional. In fact, as a mental health professional it can be an asset to share your lived experience. Dr. Han Ren is the co-owner of Pivot Psychology in Austin, Texas. She has a background in school psychology and primarily works with high achieving young adults at present. In this conversation she explained the concepts of liberation focused psychology and anti carceral movements and provided some resources for listeners to learn more via Instagram accounts; and she and Laura discussed how therapists may inadvertently shame clients due to our own fears and lack of understanding of the most effective ways to help clients change coping strategies which were once helpful, but now cause problems. Han shares a compassionate perspective on the function of “maladaptive” coping strategies, seeing them as adaptations which helped the individual survive during traumatic experiences. She talks about how our behavioral interventions that aren’t relational can cause clients to feel shame and then use masking instead of feeling safe to show up authentically and actually receive the help they’re coming to therapy for. Listen to this thought provoking episode and let us know your thoughts!Dr. Han Ren’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr.han.ren/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/dr.han.ren/</a> Dr. Han Ren’s group practice based in Texas: <a href="https://www.pivotpsychologyatx.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pivotpsychologyatx.com/</a> Dr. Han Ren’s Tik Tok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@drhanren" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@drhanren</a> Resources for learning about Anti-Carceral/Liberation Psychology via Instagram as mentioned in this episode:Body Justice Therapist Allyson Inez Ford <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bodyjustice.therapist/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/bodyjustice.therapist/</a>Project LETS <a href="https://www.instagram.com/projectlets/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/projectlets/</a>Fireweed Collective HJ: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fireweedcollectivehj/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/fireweedcollectivehj/</a> Dr. Jennifer Mullan: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/decolonizingtherapy/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/decolonizingtherapy/</a> Learn more about CAMS Care: <a href="https://cams-care.com/resources/educational-content/" rel="nofollow">https://cams-care.com/resources/educational-content/</a>Additional resources for this episode:Find Therapy Chat on TikTok at: <a href="https://tiktok.com/@therapychatpod" rel="nofollow">https://tiktok.com/@therapychatpod</a> Get 16 meals for FREE when you try HelloFresh using our coupon code!

385: De-Stigmatizing C-PTSD To Make Space For Healing - With Dr. Han Ren

Philosophers have been wondering whether we experience reality as it is for millennia now. They’ve pretty much settled on no, no we don’t. Now science has taken up the investigation and it’s proving the philosophers correct. So what is reality then?See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

How can we feel more moments of joy? We explore the science of joy and how we can cultivate it in our everyday lives, with poet Ross Gay and psychologist Philip Watkins.

Episode summary:

Are joy and happiness the same thing? Can you feel joy even in moments of sorrow? This week, we’ve set out to explore the unique qualities of joy, why it's so beneficial for us to experience, and how we can find more of it. We first hear from Ross Gay, an award-winning poet and author who dedicated his last book to the topic of joy, and how we usually find it through closeness with others. Later, we hear from psychologist Philip Watkins about what sets joy apart from other emotions, whether joy can be produced or must be happened upon, and practical steps we can take to amplify joy within our own lives.



Today’s guests:

Ross Gay is an award-winning American poet and author. His latest book explores the complexities of joy and its connection to feelings like gratitude and sorrow.

Where To Look For Joy

Splotches, spills, and stains.  They can evoke shapes, moods, energy, even music.  Yet no one seemed to appreciate their very beauty with the same intuitive, delicate flair as Helen Frankenthaler, who created something fiercely new "between cocktails and dinner," or, more accurately, between the broad shoulders of a relentlessly masculine movement.  Not bad for a saddle-shoed girl a year out of Bennington.
