220. The psychology of nostalgia and getting stuck in the past

All of us find ourselves remincising on the 'good old days' every now and then, but sometimes we can find ourselves getting trapped in the memories of the past and feeling like it will never be as good as it was. This is the nostalgia trap and it can keep us from being present, from enjoying our current season, or making new memories, it can also lead to nostalgic depression. It can be particulalry hard in our 20s when everyone is telling us these are 'the best years of our lives'. In today's episode we talk about how to find a healthy balance between remembering and enjoying the moment, including:

  • Early ideas of nostalgia
  • The reason we feel nostalgia
  • Are we more nostalgic now than ever?
  • Can we have too much nostalgia?
  • Peter Pan Syndrome
  • Chronic and depressive nostalgia
  • How to be more present + tips for managing our nostalgia
