Mojo Monday - Are You Setting Dead Person Goals? 6:49

för 1 day sedan6:49

6:49

Are your goals secretly setting you up to fail? In this Mojo Monday, Carly explores the idea of “dead person goals”—those focused on eliminating feelings or stopping behaviours entirely—and why they rarely work. Borrowing from the work of Russ Harris, she offers a powerful reframe: goals grounded in action and values that actually move you forward. If you’ve ever said, “I just want to stop doing that,” this episode will help you find a better way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Redefining Masculinity and Men's Mental Health 55:10

för 3 dagar sedan55:10

55:10

If you're a bloke, or have a bloke (young or old) in your life - this is a conversation not to be missed. Once you've listened to it, share it far and wide, as Dr. Zac Seidler, a clinical psychologist and Director of Research at Movember, has the most comprehensive view I've ever come across on what positive masculinity and good men's mental health looks like. The conversation focuses on not just the psychological aspects of men's mental health, but the societal framework that shapes masculinity. The discussion traverses through topics of men's mental health awareness, therapeutic approaches, toxic and positive masculinity, and how we can foster healthier male communities. What You'll Learn: Deciphering Masculinity: We delve into how the traditional concepts of masculinity can be both harmful and beneficial and discuss the need to redefine masculinity in more positive, flexible terms. Therapeutic Approaches : Explore why traditional therapy might not resonate with men and how 'gender-sensitive' therapy can be a more effective approach. Social Connection: The vital role of social networks in men's mental health and how a lack of these connections can lead to severe psychological issues, including suicide. Preventative Measures: Understand the importance of getting ahead of mental health issues through early interventions and community-based programs. Breaking Down Stigmas: Discuss the societal changes needed to address mental health proactively instead of reactively, and the importance of redefining spaces for men to safely express themselves. Key Takeaways: Masculinity Redefined: Emphasising the value of attributes like stoicism, altruism, and service when appropriately contextualised. Supportive Networks: Highlighting the significance of building and maintaining strong social connections throughout life. Therapy Reimagined: Utilising flexible therapeutic practices that consider men's socialisation and comfort levels. Community and Connection: Promoting the idea that safe, non-judgmental spaces are crucial for men's mental health. Early Intervention: The critical role of incorporating mental health teachings and practices from a young age to build resilience. Resources: Engage with Movember's initiatives focusing on men's mental health. Explore gender-sensitive therapy training programs like " Men in Mind " to better understand how to engage men in therapeutic settings. Connect with organisations like " The Man Cave " and " Top Blokes " that offer programs to support young men. Support and Share: Listening to this podcast could inspire not just awareness but also actionable steps towards building better support systems for the men in our lives. This conversation sheds light on the core issues impacting men's mental health and explores innovative solutions designed to uplift and support men in maintaining mental health wellness. To continue this important dialogue on men's mental health, visit Movember's website and explore their extensive resources aimed at creating change and advocating for better health. If this episode resonated with you or you believe it could help someone else, please share this talk to broaden the conversation about men's health and masculinity in today's society. 00:17 What is Movember? 00:58 The Origins of Movember 02:29 Movember's Global Impact 04:08 Personal Journey into Men's Health 06:50 Challenges in Men's Mental Health 09:10 Addressing Toxic Masculinity 16:38 Rites of Passage and Positive Masculinity 21:03 Gender-Sensitive Therapy 29:05 The Social Vacuum Post-Divorce 29:30 The Lifesaving Importance of Social Connections 32:05 Veteran Suicide and the Loss of Purpose 33:57 The Role of Therapy in Men's Mental Health 35:43 Innovative Approaches to Therapy 38:37 The Crisis of Male Suicide and Prevention Strategies 51:47 The Importance of Addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Ever found your mood shift instantly because of something small—like someone cutting you off in traffic, your partner’s mess, or the physical discomfort of anxiety?

Using a very real (and very relatable) moment from her morning, she talks about how recognising this tension can help us respond to life’s little irritations with more clarity and less reactivity. This one’s for anyone who’s had their mood hijacked by the everyday—and wants take control of how they respond to those everyday challenges. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Mastering Your Mind, with Dr Adam Fraser 1:04:31

för 18 dagar sedan1:04:31

1:04:31

In this riveting episode of my chat with Dr. Adam Fraser, we delve into the intricacies of performance, resilience, and the human condition. Adam is a researcher and fellow corporate speaker (and one of the best) and a bloody good, down-to-earth bloke. Through humour and profound insights, we cover a multitude of topics, including the coping mechanisms for stress, the intersection of physiology and psychology, and the challenges faced by modern-day educators. What You'll Learn: The Power of Reflection and Reset Dr. Fraser introduces the concept of the "third space," a transitional gap that is crucial for shifting mindsets between different aspects of life. This framework—reflect, rest, reset—helps individuals leave behind previous stressors and prepare mentally for what's next. Understanding Mental Challenges Explore the metaphor of "Kevin," a character that encapsulates negative inner dialogue. This concept, derived from ACT therapy principles, helps in recognising and rationalising self-doubts and unhelpful thought patterns. The Importance of Consistency Discover the consistent habits of elite performers, such as those in special forces and top athletes, and how these disciplines can be translated into everyday life for sustained success. Navigating Work and Home Life The conversation touches upon the impact of increased remote work on personal boundaries, emphasising practical strategies to create clear separations between professional and personal spaces. Key Takeaways: Reflection, Rest, Reset: Implementing a structured approach to transitioning between activities can enhance emotional well-being and productivity. Managing Inner Dialogue: Understanding and accepting negative thoughts without allowing them to dictate actions can lead to more constructive behaviours. Consistency Is Key: Continuous small efforts in the right direction are more impactful than sporadic grand gestures. Creating Boundaries in Remote Work: Being intentional about starting and stopping work can help maintain a work-life balance, crucial in current times. Resources: Book on "Kevin": Dr. Fraser is working on a book detailing the "Kevin" concept, which promises to offer practical insights into managing inner dialogue. Secondary Trauma in Educators: New research by Dr. Fraser highlights the growing phenomenon of secondary trauma experienced by educators, offering solutions to mitigate its effects. Dr. Adam Fraser's resources and books are an enriching source of knowledge for anyone looking to enhance their personal and professional life.

Exposing psychological myths and identifying strategies that really work, with Clinical Psychologist, with Dr. Nick Wignall 1:01:17

för 6 weeks sedan1:01:17

1:01:17

In an enlightening conversation, I sit down with Nick Wignall, a seasoned clinical psychologist, to discuss critical aspects of emotional resilience, stress management, insomnia, and the power of values. We delve into the nuances of emotional intelligence, challenge the conventional wisdom of stress management, and offer practical strategies to enhance mental well-being. What You'll Learn: Emotional Intelligence: Overrated or Misunderstood? Nick argues that while EQ is essential, it's often glamorised and misunderstood. He emphasises the need for emotional resilience over EQ, advocating for a balanced view where emotional fitness—a combination of resilience and fitness—plays a crucial role. Emotional resilience isn't just about understanding emotions; it’s about developing the capability to handle emotional challenges effectively. The Power of Values in Building Emotional Fitness: Nick introduces the concept of “emotional fitness,” akin to physical fitness, where consistent effort and practice lead to growth. The discussion highlights the role of values in guiding behaviour and building resilience. Paul shares personal anecdotes about how tapping into values like authenticity helped him address habits such as reducing alcohol consumption. Both agree that values serve as a compass, providing motivation and direction, especially during challenging times. Rethinking Stress Management: Challenging the notion of stress management, Nick and Paul suggest that instead of merely managing stress, individuals should address underlying stressors. They emphasise viewing stress as a potential growth area rather than something inherently negative. By shifting focus from managing symptoms to addressing roots, individuals can transform stress into a catalyst for development. Insomnia: More Than Just a Sleep Problem: Nick redefines insomnia, not as a sleep disorder, but as an anxiety-based problem. He underscores that insomnia often stems from excessive effort to control sleep, which paradoxically disrupts rest. Instead of intricate sleep rituals, the focus should be on reducing anxiety around sleep, adopting practices that encourage relaxation. The Scheduled Worry Practice: A Game Changer for Anxiety: Nick introduces the concept of a daily scheduled worry practice, proposing it as more effective than drugs or therapy for chronic anxiety. By dedicating specific time to acknowledge worries through writing, individuals can minimise their grip on daily life. This method, akin to exposure therapy, trains the brain to face worries head-on, reducing overall anxiety levels. Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence is meaningful but thrives best when combined with active emotional resilience practices. Values are fundamental, serving as a guiding force in decision-making and personal growth, and are crucial for authentic living. True stress management involves addressing stressors, not just symptoms. This proactive approach transforms stress into an opportunity for growth. Viewing insomnia through the lens of anxiety highlights the importance of relaxation over rigid sleep routines. Scheduled worry practice offers a structured approach to deal with anxiety, promoting resilience and mental clarity.

Understanding Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation with Corey Jackson 56:40

för 7 weeks sedan56:40

56:40

In this enlightening conversation, I sat down with Corey Jackson, a prominent figure in mindfulness research and emotional regulation, to explore the intricate world of mindfulness and metacognitive approaches to emotion. We traversed through the realms of Buddhist psychology, the impact of mindfulness on anxiety and depression, and the importance of attentional control. What You'll Learn: Mindfulness and Metacognitive Therapy: Corey discussed the differences between traditional cognitive-behavioural models and metacognitive models. He detailed how the latter focuses on metacognitive beliefs and how adjusting these beliefs can affect anxiety and depression more effectively. This model, often overlooked, offers a promising avenue for those dealing with mental health challenges. Attention and Its Role: Corey and I delved into the critical aspect of attention in shaping our reality. Drawing parallels with William James's theories and contemporary neuroscience, we examined how controlled attention can lead to better emotional regulation. Corey emphasised the importance of knowing not just what you pay attention to, but how you attend to it, and how this awareness can transform your emotional and psychological well-being. Traditional vs. Modern Mindfulness Practices: A significant portion of our conversation focused on comparing traditional Buddhist mindfulness practices with the modern, often simplified versions popularised in the West. Corey highlighted the rich history and depth of traditional practices, which often encompass a broader system of mental cultivation beyond just breath awareness. The Importance of Judgments: We explored the role of judgments in our mental and emotional lives. Corey challenged the popular Western notion of nonjudgmental awareness, explaining how traditional practices encouraged good judgment to guide behaviour aligned with personal goals and virtues. The Role of Emotions: Corey shared insights from his work with emotional balance, particularly how emotions serve as signposts indicating important events. We discussed strategies from both Eastern and Western philosophies to manage emotions, transform emotional states, and cultivate a balanced emotional life.

Life’s adversities are natural, and overcoming them is essential for true well-being. Building Resilience in Children - A Call to Action for Parents: We delve into current parenting trends and the growing culture of overprotection, which might inadvertently hinder children’s ability to handle life’s challenges. The conversation advocates for fostering resilience through exposure to manageable risks and challenges, thus preparing children for the complexities of adulthood. The Corporate Challenge - Digitising Well-being in the Workplace: The discussion extends to the corporate world, where similar challenges of engagement and well-being are observed.

Preventive strategies and educational programs are making strides, but broader implementation is needed to make a substantial difference.
