Why do we feel alive around some people and like we’ve been through the wringer when we are around others?  What’s going on for us when some people lift us up and with others we can feel as if it’s they have dropped us from a great height?  In this episode I’m exploring what’s going on from a psychodynamic perspective when we take on the energy of other people and consider ways that we can manage this so that we can feel better.

Along the way we’ll meet the Grinch, the Dementors from Harry Potter, James Bond and Stan Wawrinka.  Now that would be a night out…
