Just text DRLEAF to 1 (833) 285 3747SHOW DESCRIPTION: Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress are all ways of describing natural human responses to adversity. We all face adversity in many different ways; challenging events and circumstances are as much a part of modern existence as they were a part of human history. In this session, I discuss how this pain, which is very real, is a sign that there’s something going on in your life that needs to be addressed: you are in a state of disequilibrium. It’s not a sign of a defective brain. The brain is going through a process of reordering and reorganization in response to an experience because the brain responds to the mind. I will teach you how to identify these warning signs, how to address them, and how to begin healing.SPECIAL OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Blinkist (One of my favorite ways to build my brain and read more): To get your free week on Blinkist AND 25% off your subscription, see:  https://www.blinkist.com/nc/partners/cleaning-up-the-mental-mess-Kettle & Fire (My favorite organic bone broths, which are full of nutrients that can improve brain and mental health!): To get up to 25% off your Kettle & Fire bone broth order and free shipping see: kettleandfire.com/drleaf or use code DRLEAF at checkout.ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:-Get my new brain detox app SWITCH on sale now!
