Ever had someone in your life who just drives you up the wall? In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley dives into the concept of unconditional positive regard, a powerful tool to help you navigate those tricky relationships. Think of it as giving someone the benefit of the doubt but with a deeper understanding of why they act the way they do. Dr.
Riley breaks down how to approach others with empathy and understanding, even when their behavior is less than ideal. This isn’t about liking everything they do, but about accepting them as they are and recognizing that their actions often stem from their own struggles and experiences.

Dr. Riley shares real-life examples, including a touching story about helping a young man with schizophrenia.
His insights show that by changing our perspective, we can improve our interactions and mental well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to foster better relationships and reduce conflict in their lives.
