Episode notes

Anger is my number one defense mechanism. Anger of hope is actually one of the most important forces in deepening intimacy. I have seen such a change in the level of intimacy in my relationships because for us fellow suppressors out there, we think we need to suppress it and get over it but we do not. And so if we have repressor up here and we have a gresser with sister, you call that anger out anger in,. But both of those keep us from productively addressing the underlying issues that drive anger and impede intimacy.

1. Practical ways to make a friend and become what Dr. Franco calls a “Super-friend.”

2. How to address issues with a friend even if you hate conflict.

3. Why expressing anger is more likely to deepen a relationship than destroy it.

4. How we need to express vulnerability to make friends – but first, what the hell is vulnerability?

5. Destroying the unhelpful myth that friendship happens organically.
