It was a true pleasure to interview Dr Bill Petit on this episode of the podcast Misunderstandings of Mental Health. We talked about all different diagnosis’s, how the mind really works, and what is really on offer. What really struck me was we can look at the past with gratitude or guilt…we only get to see the light by having the contrast of living in darkness.

Subjects we covered:

Regardless of the diagnosis we’re always ok
Everyone identifies with personality disorders!
There is only one mental illness
There is one solution to everything
You can never get enough of what you don’t need
How our reality is created moment to moment
We all have a guide inside
Having compassion for ourselves
The power of showing this to children
Teaching children by action rather than words
We see what we see when we see it
Looking into the past Guilt vs Gratitude
There has to be darkness to see light
The journey vs the destination myth
Im either in my life or my thoughts
Why being a good 3/10 can be useful
Judgement of where we are at only makes it worse
The same mind that got you here, can’t take you there
We’re animated by some formless energy
Instinct vs intellect responses to life
Listening with the intention of being impacted
Our onboard alarm systems
How problems are diagnosed innocently
Whats in store….
