Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🎤 PODCAST: No Friends

Q: Now, here's a question I received from a stay-at-home mom. Dear Dr. Kenner, my name is Karen, and I'm a stay-at-home mom. I moved to Connecticut in last year, and I still don't have anyone to hang out with. How do I make friends?

Dr. Kenner suggests starting with yourself as the first friend, then rebuilding your relationship with your partner, recognizing your strengths, recalling past friendships, and practicing warm, supportive behaviors. She recommends practical steps like rereading about social skills, engaging in activities you enjoy, and even therapy if needed to address underlying self-criticism or life pressures. She emphasizes small, concrete steps—reconnecting with old friends, joining parent groups, and making plans to meet people, while also ensuring you take breaks and care for yourself.

🎤 PODCAST: Finding Happiness - Where can I go to learn how to find genuine happiness?

Q: What books or workbooks do you suggest for a person who's been suffering from depression and wants to be happier in general?

Dr. Kenner recommends a mix of philosophical and practical works: The Virtue of Selfishness for self-esteem and rational thinking, Mind Over Mood for thinking skills to overcome depression, and The Selfish Path to Romance for healthier relationship dynamics, along with her own resources at drkenner.com.

🎤 PODCAST: Fear of Dying - For two years I have had many thoughts about dying.

Q: Hi. You have a question about dying?

The caller asks about ongoing fears of dying and how to cope, prompting the host to identify cognitive approaches like distraction and fact-based reasoning.

🎤 PODCAST: My OCD and Bi-Polar Emotional Outbursts - they are ruining my prefect romantic relationship.

Q: What is the recommended treatment for Laura's bipolar and OCD in the context of a new relationship?

Pursuing cognitive therapy with a therapist you connect with, and using the insights to reduce the impact of symptoms on the relationship.

260502210320apod-emotions-grief-sacrifice

Q: Dear Dr. Kenner, my dear friend, a young 65 recently lost her husband, who was also her first boyfriend. She was a selfless mother in the traditional 50s household, and now at age 65, she's suddenly retired, alone, and bitter. And she says she doesn't really know herself. What would you recommend?

Address grief with therapy to process the loss, then proactively rebuild identity by exploring interests, social activities, and possible new companionships. Encourage viewing happiness as the result of valuing and developing oneself, pursue purposeful hobbies, and consider reading foundational works on self-worth while fostering new connections.
