Hello and welcome to being well. I'm Forrest Hansen. If you're new to the show,

thanks for listening today. And if you've listened before, welcome back. I'm joined today,

as usual, by clinical psychologist Rick Hansen. So, Dad, how are you doing today? I'm good. And as always, I really like the mailbags.

I always love the mailbags, too. So today we're going to be opening up the mailbag and answering some

questions from our listeners. All of the questions today focused on different aspects of our

relationships, including how to deal with some pretty difficult and complicated situations,

some which I'm very

excited to ask Rick about toward the middle of the conversation. If you'd like to have a question

answered on a future episode of the podcast, the best way to do that is by signing up for

our Patreon. You can find us at patreon.com slash being well podcast. And you can also send an email

to contact at beingwellpodcast.com. I can already see you sweating

that. I love this. I'm so excited. Term you might know it already from rock climbing called sandbagging

in which you invite your friend to a rock climb and you say, you know, it's really pretty easy.

It's kind of intermediate, you know, like 5-7, 5-8. No worries. And, you know it's it's really pretty easy it's kind of intermediate you know

like 5-7-5-8 no worries and you know my my buddy who's you know 97 years old climbed it

last week great and then your friend sweats on it falls off a few times gradually like a death

march scratches our way to the top, and goes, what the hell?

And you go, well, it's really 510, and I couldn't climb it myself.

That's a sandbag.

So I have this sense that maybe you're giving me, you're doing a little sandbagging.

I am kind of sandbagging.

I just loved the idea of asking you this question that, so I had to include it. I think people will know what it is when we get to it. Okay, before we get into all of that, I do want to give you a quick reminder that Rick, the jovial guy today, is running a half-off sale. And I think pretty much all of his online courses and programs right now. They're half off from November 17th.
