What keeps people "stuck" in their healing journey - confusing pain with "negativity" or something "bad"

Many people who are stuck are determined to never feel pain because they think it's "negative". But the irony is that the insistence on only focusing on "positive things", and resistance to feeling their whole feelings, even painful stuff, is often why people are stuck.

All Things Human with Adele Wang

How power works, in people and in machines.

How power works, in people and in machines. Especially in this time of massive and hyper-rapid change.

Adele Wang watches how people behave, in organizations and in ordinary life, and says the part most people leave out.

Some episodes are about work. Who decides, who gets blamed, what happens when nobody quite owns a decision. Some are about relationships. Why you know your neighbor's dog's name and not theirs. What we want from each other and what we're willing to admit we want.

The through line is the same either way. What's really going on underneath the thing everyone agrees to say.
