Hello and welcome to being well.

I'm Forrest Hansen.

If you're new to the podcast, thanks for joining us today.

And if you've listened before, welcome back.

I'm joined today, as usual, by clinical psychologist Rick Hansen, who is currently having a coughing

attack as I ask him this question. Dad, how are you doing today? I'm good. I'm feisty. Watch out. You know, maybe I mean, I've got my kind of like mellow camp counselor, green, you know, flannel shirt. I love how you like to go into the color psychology about the shirt that you're wearing often at the beginning of these episodes. It's like, oh, I'm wearing the black shirt on. Earlier today, I had a black t-shirt on, you know. Maybe I should come in with like an Oakland Raiders. Are they still in Oakland? No, they're in Las Vegas. Very sad for the people of Oakland. Yeah. But, you know. Yeah. Al Davis. Bad. Sorry bad sorry raiders fans i think it's just sons now

i think i think i think i think al davis is dead dad but that's okay sorry i'm no disrespect

So today, we mostly have some questions from people related to our recent episode on resentment.

We recorded that a couple months back.

And it got a fantastic response from people.

We have a lot of questions.

But I also snuck in a question there about highly sensitive people.

We should probably do a highly sensitive people episode at some point, down, just because

it's one of those words that people toss around a lot and there's, you know, a lot of different views about like, is this a thing? Is this not a thing? And we can kind of dig into that. I've been chewing on this question a lot. I thought it was a really interesting one. Well, since you're one of the lifetime members of the Sensitive Boys Club, along with Pueblo, you two. Yes, my boy Diego, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you could do a whole special thing about that. That would be fun. That would be a fun one. I mean, I think that one of the things with like HSP is because, and we'll get into this when we actually get into the question, is it's not a diagnosable condition. It's just a thing that people refer to themselves as.
