Parenting Doctors Podcast: What We Were Never Taught

How To Work With Difficult People

Some people are very difficult to work with.  Naturally, we try to move our children around these people.  This is impossible.  It is better to equip ourselves and our teenagers with the ability to work with difficult people.

Living a Fearless Life & Pursuing Defining Moments

Living a fearless life involves going after fears in your life.  In this podcast, Dr. van Ingen discusses phobic fears (i.e. dogs and enclosed spaces), nasty fears and the fear-control sequence (i.e. acting out of that fear with pay back, grudges, bitterness and resentment), and cognitive fears (i.e. irrational thoughts).  Pursuing a defining moment is also discussed including a 4-R Approach.  

For more information on Dr. Dan's work in anxiety, see his book Anxiety Disorders Made Simple., available on kindle and paperback.  Also, for those who want an in-depth study on neuroscience and anxiety, see his program available on video and DVD format (and audio).  

 

 

Is This Worthy of Crying?

Here is a family dinner conversation.  Parents should routinely talk to their children about what is worthy of crying and what is not worthy of crying.  

 

If you scrape your leg, is that worthy of crying?  Yes.

 

If you are told that you can't have candy, is that worthy of crying?  No.  

 

Let's establish that there are sometimes when we don't validate feelings.  

 

 

Gaslighting in Your Parenting?

"Gaslighting" is the latest term in pop culture psychology.  I've actually heard the term for 40 people (yes, I took a tally) over the last 3 weeks.  Is this going on in your parenting or is this yet another psychological concept that is being overly used like everything else.  

Dr. Dan van Ingen is a clinical and sport psychologist in Sarasota, FL.  He is an author, national speaker, anxiety specialist and parenting doctor.  He started a sky diving therapy and resilience group for those who want to apply radical change to fears and anxiety.  He's been featured on ABC and is author of You Are Your Child's Best Psychologist.   

People Change Part 3: What Will I Leave When I Jump Off the Plane on Sunday?

People Change

Dr. van Ingen presents changes in his own life and in the lives of others showing clear evidence of people changing.  "I constantly hear it.  People believe that people don't change."  

 

1) People change.

2) We all have to change.

3) Self affirmation is the answer to outward affirmation when it comes to change.

4) Long-lasting change requires intrinsic motivation, it can't be for external reasons.

What Will You Leave Behind as You Jump off the Plane?

Tonight, I have my first Sky Diving Therapy & Resilience Group session.  Five guys will join me as we jump off the plane.  

What will you leave behind as you jump?  I experienced significant psychological burnout that culminated over years of a lack of self-care.  Zero self-care led to zero empathy.  But life is about change.  You either repeat or you change.  You either repeat or you evolve.  It's time for us all to CHANGE!
