Topics
@Shankar Vedant : 我作为主持人, 开篇介绍了仇恨的持久影响, 并以Hatfields和McCoys家族的世仇为例, 引出日常生活中人们普遍存在的怀恨情绪, 并点明本期节目将探讨长期积怨的心理学以及如何化解。 在节目中, 我还提出了一个关键问题:我们是否应该让那些伤害过我们的人占据我们过多的注意力?人际关系和情感纠葛是复杂的, 难以忽视。 最后, 我总结了@Fred Luskin 博士的观点, 怨恨在短期内可能让人感觉良好, 但长期来看, 它伤害最大的是我们自己。 Fred Luskin: 我通过大量的案例研究, 阐述了怀恨在心对个人身心健康造成的严重影响。首先, 长期怀恨会影响人的自我认知, 将负面经历融入到自我认同中, 阻碍个人成长。 其次, 我解释了怨恨的三个阶段:个人化、责备和构建怨恨故事。人们容易将客观事件个人化, 并由此产生负面情绪和自我否定。责备虽然在短期内能带来心理安慰, 但长期来看, 会导致身心疾病。 再次, 我提出了“不可执行规则”的概念, 即试图控制他人行为的期望, 以及这种期望破灭后产生的负面情绪。 最后, 我分享了自己与朋友、岳母和解的经历, 并介绍了化解怨恨的方法, 包括积极情绪重新聚焦技巧 (PERT), 以及改变思维方式, 从关注过去转向关注未来。我强调宽恕并非纵容或忘记, 而是为了自身的内心疗愈和与过去和解, 从而获得身心健康和幸福。

Shownotes Transcript

Holding a grudge can feel like a form of justice, a way of punishing those who have wronged us. But psychologist Fred Luskin says that more often than not, grudges don't hurt the targets of our anger. Instead, they only hurt us. This week, we explore the lingering effects of long-standing animosities, and how to let them go.
