Hey there! I'm Dr. Allison, a licensed clinical psychologist, and I’ve made it my life mission to help people live healthy, happy, and meaningful lives! Psychology has so much to say about how we can live our best lives, and I want to simplify this for you. I'm a passionate consumer of research, which means all the things you see here on Dr. Allison Answers are backed by scientific research. (In short, they’re proven to work!) I like to think of myself as a translator: taking information from psychology and related fields and making it easy for you to understand for your everyday life.
My favorite buzzwords include mindfulness, courage, authenticity, and intentionality. My goal is to help you incorporate these buzzwords into your daily life. I'm so pumped you're here, and I'd love to connect with you! Check out my site at drallisonanswers.com for even more good stuff or leave a comment on one of my videos. Let's do this!
It is always best to apologize to someone you hurt or offended rather you meant to hurt them or not. Especially if you didn't mean to hurt them, and were not trying to. The best way is to say the apology is in a very kind and sincere way. If they still don't forgive you for your mistake and they hurt you by not expecting your apology, then you did what you could. Sometimes you have to just let them sit in their own frustrations and let them be.🤷 There's only so much you can do, and if they are not willing to accept your apology, then sometimes you have to just move on. We all need to remember, none of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. The best thing we can do is try to make it up to the person you hurt,( or if they hurt you), accept each other's apologies, forgive each other, and let the pain melt away.
Thank you, Dr. Allison. I took the low road, recently, and became too aggressive with someone. I apologized but that person hasn’t acknowledged my apology, yet. I will give it time, as you say, and will keep the apology on the table.
I was disrespectful towards my husband's brother 15 years ago over something he said towards my mum and out of anger I took it too far by calling the guy a cheating #* and now 15 years later I am moving out after 22 years.
october you have messaged me on mta for reals comment saying youll have nothing to do with me anymore you hope im a child whats that suppossed to mean i dont even know you ive never spoke to you
I DONT LIKE MYSELF FOR WHAT I DID TO MYSELF MANY YEARS AGO AS A YOUNG MOM, I ACTED WAY TOO HASTILY AND DIDNT LISTEN TO MY SPOUSE WHO IS A WONDERFUL PERSON! IT WAS JUST STUPID AND VERY WRONG! I really need to focus on the here and now and the many and truly blessings in my life, this planet is not my eternal home! 😢
I really love your healthy approach towards emotions! Not viewing them as good or bad, but rather, just neutral and with a PURPOSE. Thank you this helped me sooo much just subscribed :)
I hope you will reply my gf is angry from me because I have not taken her name in a function where I was asked to tell who's important to me. I just not wanted her name to be taken publically because I wanna kept it a secret now she's angry saying that if I am not important for you why are you coming to me over n over again go to those whose name you have taken. I really love her 😢. Please guide me she have blocked me she is not listening to me she is not even responding to my group messages.
Thank you for making me feel better, because my family is trying to manipulate me into thinking the division in our family is due to me not accepting my sisters insincere apology. They are now trying to punish me for not accepting my sisters apology by not including me in their life. I don't care to be with them and I'm not 10 years old so all it does is make me glad to not be around the drama. I have done all I can do and they all have done the 'do not dos'. It was just as you said, and affected me just like you predicted. They should have respected my space and time to think.
I do think that no one should pay to meditate. You can find lots of videos for free on RU-vid. I used Balance , Headspace and Calm before. You don’t need them actually to learn meditation. Of course there is nothing wrong with them , but you can meditate without spending money on it. :)
I’ve messed up a lot with someone very close to me and apologizing was a headache since 😢I had to do it countless times I just pray this helps and she forgives me
My friend who I had argued with and not talked with for quite a while finally called me today to go do watering activity together and was even honest about her plans and appeared comfortable talking to me. That's a win babe
I just now came across your writings and your videos. I'm happy I found it. It's nice to know that you're here and thanks for spending your time to bring this good information. 😊✌️
I liked the beginning & the idea of re-visiting. I am just missing the recommendation when it is enough. Some people get in a vicious circle of apologizing and the others just reject or demand constant compensation, like a sort og punishment. Doc, what do we do in such cases? Tell them & walk away?
Too Good 💎 Could you suggest some best books to read for tackling self doubt and increasing self belief in testing times and uncertainty like job search process after a big career gap and gain momentum without being stuck in inaction or uncertainty..
