Through hearing other's stories of their precarious moments, we realize that this is actually what connects us as human beings. There is beauty in the struggle.<br /><br />Leah Barrett, MS, LCSW is a psychotherapist in private practice in Colorado where she lives with her husband and a few fur kids.

To Forgive is to Heal
Forgiveness, to forgive. Why is it so hard to do? Is it that we think we are condoning the person's behavior if we forgive the person? What do we gain by not forgiving? What do we lose by not forgiving?<br /><br />We lose a great deal when we hang on to resentments. Science shows it's bad for our health- physical and mental.<br /><br />In this episode of Precarious, I explore forgiveness: its definition and and give an example of "how to" forgive.<br /><br />Why this topic? As I get closer to dying, society gives the message that part of gettting my affairs in order is to ask for forgiveness as well as forgive others.<br /><br />PS - I turn 57 on July 28th. I didn't think I'd live this long once I was diagnosed with cancer back in 2013. Life if full of surprises.

Searching for Awe
What is Awe? When is the last time you experienced it? Even I questioned whether it is considered an emotion? It is an emotion that absolutely can improve our quality of life. Yet, it takes paying attention and being open to it.<br /><br />In this episode of Precarious, I reference Dacher Keltner's book, <b>AWE. The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life</b>. He outlines 8 sources of AWE and how we can access this beautiful emotion.<br /><br />As my life comes to an end, I have experienced more moments of AWE than I have in my life time. It's not too late to expreince more AWE in your life right now.
