The Terri Cole Show

Today's guest is none other than best-selling author and psychologist, Dr. Shefali. Her new book, The Parenting Map, and this conversation are for anyone raising a kid in this scary social media-driven environment.  We dive into the walls that parents hit with their children, what to do if your child is "acting out," and what to do about the pressure you might feel to raise a "perfect" child. Dr. Shefali has such amazing insights into parenting and I hope you enjoy this conversation with her as much as I did.

Have you heard the terms “reactive abuse” or “reactive anger” making the rounds on social media? Are you wondering what the heck it means?  Are you curious if passive-aggressive anger factors into this?  Or maybe you want to know: can anger ever be healthy? I have received a number of emails asking me to clarify all of these terms, so in today’s episode, I break down what reactive abuse/reactive anger is, what passive-aggressive anger is, and what healthy anger might look like.  If your relationship with anger has been tenuous at best, or if you are seeking clarity on an abusive situation, this episode is for you.

Does the word “manifest” sound like magical thinking to you?  Or does it remind you of the movie, The Secret, where all you need to do is think about something, and *poof,* it appears right in front of you?  Or perhaps “visualizing” what you want has never made sense to you in the first place. I get it. Even though I teach people how to get what they want in life, I stay away from the word “manifesting” because I feel like it has been used and abused.  If you feel the same and want to know how to take real steps toward getting what you want in life, with real results, this episode is for you. Inside, you’ll find a simple three-step process for going after and getting what you want in life.

Today's guest is Kimberly Williams-Paisley, someone I met decades ago when I was a talent agent. We reconnected a few years ago, but it has been so fun to watch her flourish. What's amazing about Kimberly is how down-to-earth she is all these years later. She is so giving and her joy is infectious.  She joined me on the show to talk about her journey with her mom, who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia, a rare type of dementia. Kimberly candidly shares her family's struggles and how she embraced the changes in her mother despite the challenges they all faced.  We also chat a bit about Kimberly's acting career and how being famous affected her.

Are your female friendships challenging? Have you struggled to find the right crew? Have you ever needed to “break up” with one of your female friends?  Or have you gone into therapy because of a female friendship? If this resonates, you are not alone. In my 25 years as a psychotherapist, I can’t even begin to tell you how many women have experienced these exact things. The pain and suffering of having not-so-great female friends landed a number of them in therapy long before any romantic relationship.  But female friendships don’t have to be problematic. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the benefits of healthy female friendships, what they look like, and how to create them. I also share my own experience with female friendships and why I couldn’t live happily without my nearest and dearest pals.
