Radically Genuine Podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin 216. I Was A Prisoner Of My Own Mind w/ Dr. Riz Ahmad
Dr. Riz Ahmad could have been diagnosed with social anxiety, autism spectrum, and depression as a teenager. Instead, he became one of the most talented psychologists I've ever worked with.
In this episode, Riz shares his journey from fear-driven perfectionist—completely fused with his mind and disconnected from his body—to an eight-week stay at a Zen Buddhist monastery that changed everything. What happened when his mind finally went quiet? And what does his story reveal about the dangers of how we label and treat human suffering today?
A radically genuine conversation about ego, consciousness, and what mainstream psychology is missing.
