The Dr. Leaf Show

Get your tickets to my 2021 Mental Health Retreat (Dec 3-4): https://www.drleafconference.comEPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about something I am sure you have all experienced at least once in your life: FOMO, or the fear of missing out. This is a mindset that is similar to the “if only, could have, would have” mindset I discussed in a previous podcast and blog. It can quickly steal our sense of peace and impact our wellbeing if we don’t learn how to manage it!Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/fomoGet my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.

Get your tickets to my 2021 Mental Health Retreat (Dec 3-4): https://www.drleafconference.comEPISODE DESCRIPTION: We all have mental habits that are not so great—the things that keep us stuck, make us stressed out, impact our health and affect our relationships. Thankfully, we don’t have to stay “stuck” in these negative thinking patterns. In this week’s podcast, I speak with clinical neuropsychologist, writer and mental health advocate Nawal Mustafa about common cognitive and thinking errors we all deal with and what we can do to overcome them, how to recognize and avoid psychological invalidation and gaslighting, the difference between healthy venting and emotional dumping, the best way to have difficult emotional discussions, and how to help your children speak about their feelings and experiences.Get my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.

Often, when we are in an anxious state, we cannot seem to make a decision, or, if we do, we end up making a choice we regret. I know this has happened to me many times! What should we do when this happens? Is there a way out of this mental swamp?

Yet the nature of human sensitivity is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to recognizing and dealing with highly sensitive people.As I discuss in this week’s with psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Elaine Aron, a significant percentage of the population (regardless of gender, race or nationality) are highly sensitive individuals, although many of them don’t know they are highly sensitive, or what that means for the way they interact with others, express their emotions, deal with disapproval or parent their children.Get my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.comDownload my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.appSign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.
