Welcome to the StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast! I’m your host, Steve Stein, and in today’s episode, we have the incredible Dr. Rick Hanson joining us. Rick, an acclaimed author known for works like "Buddha's Brain," will be diving deep into a fascinating discussion on two intriguing concepts: sensitization and neuroplasticity.

We'll explore what it means to become sensitized, how this process shapes our reactions, and how it intertwines with neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to change through experiences. Rick shares practical advice on understanding our own triggers, managing negative interactions, and even healing from past traumas through a powerful technique called "linking."

Expect valuable insights and practical wisdom designed to bring ancient ideas to the street level of everyday life. Stay tuned as we uncover how understanding these principles can influence your journey to mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and overall well-being. Join us for an enlightening conversation that promises to teach you tools for leading a happier, healthier life.
