Hey everyone, welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

If you're new to the podcast, thanks for listening today and if you've listened before, welcome

back.

One of the most difficult aspects of life to wrestle with is the reality of constant

change.

Moments come and go, people enter and leave our lives and we ourselves grow and change

and eventually pass away.

One is impermanent.

This is a fundamental and even kind of obvious part of life, but it's also a reality

that tends to blend into the background for most of us, most of the time.

It's almost like a kind of haze that touches everything while being largely invisible

and coming face to face with that often leads to feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and

even dread.

So today we're going to be exploring impermanence, anxiety and learn how to become more resilient

in the face of change, living while also letting go.

I'm joined as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson, because a clinical psychologist, a best son and

author and he's also my dad.

So dad, I'd love to start by asking you how you think about this subject broadly.

I know it's a very meaningful one to you and has been a part of your practice in your life

for a long time now.

I'm hyper psyched about this topic.

Yeah.
