PODCAST: 10% Happier with Dan Harris
We all have long-standing painful patterns of behavior or inner storylines that can cause us to react disproportionately or inappropriately to everyday events.
Today's guest, Dr. Radhule Weininger, has a term for this. She calls them longstanding recurrent painful patterns or LRPPs.
Weininger is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and teacher of Buddhist meditation and Buddhist psychology. She has a new book, Heart Medicine: How to Stop Painful Patterns and Find Peace and Freedom—at Last.
Content Warnings: There are some brief references to sensitive tops, including physical abuse, sexual abuse and suicide.
In this episode we talk about:
How to recognize a problematic pattern or when you’ve been “lrpp-ed”
Why Dr. Weininger believes that Buddhism and western psychology, when practiced together, can help us deal with these recurring patterns
Unpacking the word trauma
The psychological term “mismatch” and how it relates to childhood trauma or hurt
And how to practice meditation in order to tolerate discomfort
