Our need for the positive regard of others acts as the currency of connection and attunement. To feel prized, accepted, and worthy, particularly by our primary caregivers, shapes how we see ourselves and our relational rules of the road throughout life. Positive regard provides rules of the road, impacting our behaviors, emotions, values, beliefs, and attitudes and contributing to either our well-being or distress. Drawing on his 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Paul Standal will illuminate the essential role of positive regard in fostering meaningful connections and addressing maladaptive behaviors. Through a blend of neuroscience, psychology, and personal anecdotes, he will offer invaluable insights into the transformative potential engendered by this profound need.

One of the most legendary bands to hail from San Diego, the B-Side Players have spent the last three decades establishing a reputation as one of the most eclectic, genre-defining bands of their day. The nine-member band can hardly be described using typical genre conventions, blending elements of funk, rock, jazz, and hip-hop with gritty street samba, Cumbia, and other sounds common in Latin America. Their Dec. 7 performance at UC San Diego’s Park & Market marks their final show of the year and celebrates the last 30 years of their prolific career. The 90-minute performance will also feature an intimate Q&A with the audience, during which fans can hear unheard insights about the band’s history.
