Episode Details

In this episode, Dr. K breaks down why disliking someone feels useful, addictive, and justified, yet quietly causes real damage to your mental clarity, stress levels, and long term decision making. Using personal stories, clinical examples, and research, he explains how hostility narrows your thinking, fuels rumination, and keeps you emotionally stuck, even when you believe dislike is protecting you or motivating change.

Instead of pushing forgiveness or pretending bad behavior is acceptable, this episode focuses on removing dislike itself. Dr. K walks through a practical mindset shift rooted in compassion without tolerance, helping you judge people clearly, set realistic expectations, and make calm long term plans that are not driven by fluctuating emotions.

Topics covered include:

Why dislike is one of the most addictive emotions and how it distorts perception Hostile attribution bias and how disliking someone limits your ability to solve problems The physical and mental health costs of chronic hostility and stress Why forgiveness often fails and how removing dislike is different A step by step mental process for seeing people clearly and planning boundaries without emotional reactivity
