It has helped me to deepen into my work as a new therapist and given me tools to manage my own anxiety and pain. It also has inspired me to slow down and think critically rather than...”Read full review »

“I give this podcast unlimited stars ⭐️ Forrest & Rick are knowledgeable, experienced & the best part FUN! The humor they sprinkle in keeps the deep subjects from becoming too seriously heavy.
They also offer very practical advice with actions one can take, in other words, they don’t...”Read full review »

“Long time listener, first podcast review ever. Listening to a recent episode was so helpful in identifying issues I’ve long been suffering with. It helped me realize (and explain to my therapist) how I had been massively downplaying the amount I was suffering because I thought it was normal. It’s...”Read full review »

“I recently had to have some dental work done and, dreading it, decided to bring my AirPods. Did I choose ambient music? An engrossing audiobook? I chose Being Well— for even though I could barely follow the topic over the drilling, I find the warmth and enthusiasm between these two soothing,...”Read full review »

“Insightful discussion focussing on the mood of general anxiety that seems to permeate our public spaces about the “state of the world as today.” Both noted that this is being intensified by the often catastrophizing language of social media.
In the course of the hour they came up with many sound...”Read full review »

“Mr. Hanson has a bachelors but talks as if he is an expert in psychoanalysis, psychology, and interpersonal relationships. I listened to 3 of his podcasts— pretty much a waste of my time. If you find Rick Hanson’s talks thought provoking he has weekly talks . Listen to them.”
