You do not have to become a different person to feel better—you may need to uncover the person who has been there all along. In this episode, I explain how anxiety, shame, frustration, and other difficult emotions can come from protective parts of us taking over, rather than those feelings defining who we are. You’ll learn how to notice an activated pattern without judging it, approach it with curiosity and compassion, understand what it is trying to protect you from, and then step back into leadership. The more you practice this, the less you have to fight yourself—and the easier it becomes to respond from a calmer, more grounded place.
Welcome to Mental Health Mastery where we talk about how to reduce anxiety and depression dramatically, how to move past a lifestyle of just "coping" with bad mental health, and how to have lasting, daily peace of mind. I share the many lessons learned by going from suicidal to depression and anxiety-free in my own life and what I've learned helping over 400 clients reclaim control of their own mental health. We believe you deserve to have significant mental health, and we're excited to help you learn how to have it—hosted by Ty Hicks.
