Welcome Back Coachable Fam! You are in for a treat today! Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.

[5:00] Brain Vs Mind

“The Mind is us, a likeness or a humanness, being able to think, feel, and choose all the experiences of life.”
“The mind is like gravitational fields. It can’t be seen, but we know it's there, because of the evidence, which is that we are not floating.”
“The brain is a physical part. The thoughts come in the mind, which makes the experience into a physical thought.”

[15:41] Power of Choice

“The non-conscious mind is the biggest part of who you are. It's the most intelligent part of who you are.”
“You can never change your story of what happened in childhood, adolescence, early adulthood and whatever stage of your life, because your stories happened. But what you can do is change what it looks like inside of you. And then therefore you can change how it plays out into the future.”
“We spend way too much time ignoring the cause. And then once we do face the course, we then try and spend a lot of time trying to find why someone did that?”

[25:08] Subconscious

“The Subconscious is the bridge”
“No emotions are bad, and no emotion should be suppressed because they are incredible messages.”
“The non-conscious sends signals through the subconscious, into the conscious mind. So depression, that's an emotion. It's one of four signals, not an illness. It's a warning signal, embrace it.”
“Energy is never lost. It's transferred. So as I did this, I'm starting to build a little replacement thought.”

[34:00] Neurocycle

“It's a systematic ordered mind management system that drives the neuroplasticity of your brain, therefore changing right down to the level of your DNA of every cell of your body.”
“It's an embraced process to reconceptualize over time, to break these established patterns.”
“It's not a mental health pandemic. It is a mismanagement of the mind. That's the real issue. We've got to reteach people how to manage their minds.”
