Misunderstandings of the Mind

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….

A great conversation with Stef Cybichowski Master Transformative Coach about relationships, love and connection. We talk about all different types of relationships, with family through to romantic relationships and the stories we fall in love with vs being present and curious about life in the moment. Subjects we covered: How all relationship struggles are the same Why life can look really difficult Why people can look really challenging How thought is the variable The story of me How we buy into stories about ourselves Seeing life through filters If I am not confident then what Why we focus on that one thing we get wrong Does low self esteem exist ? Is it real? Innocently… What is listening Talking to the health in others The place of no story – underneath where love exists The story of love is just an idea Love is who we are where we come from There is no separate self except in story We fall in ‘love’ with stories Every experience is a gift Why we have to go to that place, to get to this one Being around someone with transformative presence Opening the potential for discovery with people Staying open to Miracles How self fulfilling prophecy works NOBODY knows what life is! The postage stamp of possibility Why things aren’t as they seem Whats really on offer you can contact Stef at – stef@yourunlimitedpotential.co.uk or visit his website The post Relationships – Where Love Really Comes From appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

A great conversation with Jacqueline Hollows from Beyond Recovery who works with some awesome guys in the prison system in the UK on a misunderstanding of Freedom. Listening it’s clear that it gives Jacqueline a great perspective on the word free, which leads to a wonderful conversation on the perspective of life that makes such a difference and regardless of whether you are physically incarcerated or living your life, you can be in prison if you don’t see how your experience is created. Things we discussed: Where freedom really comes from How we’re all in a prison of types What being trapped is Living a life in prison Achieving more to get what you already have is pointless What does everyone really want What do decisions really consist of Can we predict the future? How much headspace we spend in the prison of our mind How we miss the beauty and people in the world What’s really on the table Being mentored by mind vs your own thought Knowing vs Not Knowing Fresh Thought vs Insecurity The intelligence behind life How we protect our created reality The way in to seeing the prison of your mind Our perspective colours what we think about ourselves Magical transformational stories The post Freedom – Where it really comes from appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

A mind blowing conversation with the profound & wonderful Marina Galan. We talked about the illusion that we create and play out in the world that we live in, and how we can only possibly be separated by the illusion of thought. Things we discussed: Why chasing connection is unattainable We’re experts at chasing whats already there The created me’s role in chasing connection How the image of self creates the illusion of separation Why finding ‘the one’ doesn’t exist Connection comes when the story of “I” falls away What we truly are is before any of that Accomplishment, fame, love can only be found before the story We only see what is – true, by seeing what isn’t – true How to know what is truth How our stories connect Illusory self esteem vs certainty and deep understanding How most couples are in an illusion of a relationship Children are in a relationship with reality Adults are in a relationship with concepts Why you’re not the person you thought you were comes Why we’ll give up everything for a beautiful story How to connect to everyone around you Why life is so magical   The post Connection – We’re only Separated by the Illusion of Thought appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

An awesome conversation I was truly honoured to have with Michael, I was going to edit but i left my complete humanness in there, if you only listen to the last 90 seconds and have the same experience I did where I was lost for words, it will be worth it. We covered so many areas in this exploration of the nature of creativity.

Hi I am Jason, Certified Transformative Coach and Psychotherapist. In this introduction I talk about my own experience of enlightenment, what it was like before and what it is like now, how my life changed in a moment with an insight, a realisation of who I really was, how life is so different today and what actually changed. Where my vision for the podcast came from. I spent a lifetime in despair really, thinking things had gotten a little better, but then getting worse. I had got to the point of having so much experience of personal development, 12 steps, 10 years of therapy as a client and a practising therapist it felt like nothing would work. In my intro I talk about how I fully recovered from: Overwhelming anxiety Years of addiction A lifetime of body image issues & Lack of Confidence Eating Disorders and Compulsive Overeating The darkest depression Years of suffering from childhood Trauma Years of suffering from Grief No Self Belief Overthinking Co Dependency Years of mental health struggles The need for medication for herniated discs To become totally free with a moment of realisation of how life really works. One of the problems I had was, I knew everything, and I tried to fit all new experiences into what I knew. I would love for people to listen with an open mind. That was my saving grace from my mentor Michael Neill, the invitation to listen differently changed my life. Not only did I recover from those things, I thrive to the point of being happy, joyous content, successful and free, living with peace of mind.

A great conversation with Nicola Bird about misunderstandings of anxiety. How it is created and looks so real to us in the moment, yet how the dominos can fall so easily once we get insight into the powerful illusion known as thought. Topics we covered Do we really need to ‘fix’ anxiety? We all have innate mental health When we stop trying to fix ‘the problem’ we find the solution How psychology innocently misunderstands anxiety How sitting in transformative presence is where clarity comes The power of listening without trying to make sense Beyond the filter of our Psychology The temporary transient nature of thought How anxiety cannot come from circumstances Why changing circumstances creates the illusion of feeling better Why the busy diary looks like a problem The self fulfilling prophecy of anxiety Changing circumstances vs seeing the true nature of how the mind works Intellectual understanding vs really SEEING When we know we have been impacted by insight Diving into the confusion to get clarity Dropping deeper into that inner knowing Getting a richer more wonderful experience of life Everything is on offer Nicola Bird teaches a completely revolutionary approach to anxiety that she had never come across before in all her years of training. She has spent the last four years travelling all around the world (yes, the agoraphobic!) studying with the pioneers in this field to gain a deeper understanding of this thing that had completely transformed her life in a matter of just a few weeks. And now Nicola’s work is to share what she has learned that made such a huge difference to her personal journey and the lives of the people she loves. Qualifications: BSc Psycholgy, MSc Psychology, Master Transformative Coach, author of the book A Little Peace of Mind and personally now completely free from anxiety. www.alittlepeaceofmind.co.uk The post Misunderstanding of Anxiety appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.
