Beat | How to navigate political fear
Political violence and heightened rhetoric has turned up the intensity of an already tumultuous election season, adding to the fears and uncertainty on both the Left and the Right. Is there a way to stay grounded through this moment? We are joined by Dr. Bill Doherty, a “citizen therapist” who offers insight to help understand not just our own fear, but the fears held by the other side, and shares concrete strategies people on all sides can use to give voice to our deepest concerns without succumbing to the most dangerous tendencies of our divided nation.

I am enjoying the podcast and love the way you guys are modeling how to have conversations among people with political disagreements. One comment: it would be great to hear women’s voices on the podcast, especially when talking about subjects like toxic masculinity.
