Episode notes

The body learns to expect negative feelings to quickly turn off and be replaced by happiness. However, this expectation becomes a hard reality in adulthood, as situations like job loss or traffic don't immediately lead to happiness. This inability to cope with distress and the expectation of constant happiness can leave people feeling paralyzed and incapable during times of stress. Happiness should not be tied to everything going as desired, but rather to effectively dealing with life's challenges.

On this weekend episode of the Daily Dad Podcast, Ryan talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy on how we emotionally vaccinate, the ability to cope through stress, educating our kids on emotions and her new book Good Inside

Dr. Becky Kennedy is an American clinical psychologist who is founder and chief executive officer of the Good Inside company, an online parenting advice service. She has been called the "millennial parent whisperer" by Time Magazine and is a number one New York Times bestseller for her book Good Inside. As a mom of three, when she was first starting out, she practiced a popular behavior-first, reward-and-punishment model of parent coaching. But, after a while, something struck her: those methods feel awful–for kids and parents. She put together everything she knew about attachment, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and internal family systems theory, and translated those ideas into a new method for working with parents.
