Sometimes as therapists we overanalyze things. Whether it’s our own ego or our genuine thirst for discovery, we sometimes read into things that aren’t there. One of the most common ways I find we do this is when we are convinced that someone is just try to “distract” themselves from their pain. It’s important for us to realize that sometimes these “distractions” are actually just the way the person lives and enjoys their life. In life, we cannot avoid suffering, but sometimes replaying our past only brings more suffering.

Public speaking is one of the most common fears known to man. However, as much as we like to avoid it, speaking publicly often plays a crucial role in our career development, our relationships and our own sense of confidence. Mastering this skill can transform our lives. In this episode, I explore practical ways to attack this monster head on, so we can feel more empowered in our lives. It is also important to keep in mind that fear of public speaking does not just impact those who struggle with social anxiety; most people get nervous when they have to speak publicly. Accepting this is a great first step in normalizing your fear.

New podcast episode, “You’re thinking about your thoughts all wrong.” In this episode I discuss metacognition, or the way we think about our thoughts. This often has a larger influence on our anxiety and depression than the thoughts themselves.

When we are depressed we can fall into a nihilistic philosophy. Existential nihilism is the philosophical belief that life has no meaning or purpose, and therefor there is no reason to enjoy life, take action, love, etc. When we are depressed we can also start to believe that this philosophy makes sense, and therefore there is no reason to “cure” our depression, because we see the problem as external rather than internal. I argue that in reality we become nihilistic BECAUSE we are depressed, and the lack of positive feeling is influencing our belief about the world and our life.

New podcast episode: Stop Externalizing Your Stress

We all have a tendency to externalize our stress. When we feel stressed, we blame the thing or the world instead of looking inward. While this may help us feel better temporarily, it ultimately leaves us feeling powerless and out of control. Take the power back in your life by taking responsibility for how you react to the world around you.
