CLEANING UP YOUR MENTAL MESS with Dr. Caroline Leaf

SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I discuss the difference between enabling and empowering someone. Simply put, enabling is doing something challenging for someone else, while empowering someone means helping and supporting them as they complete the challenging task. Think of those school projects you did as a child; enabling is your mom doing the whole project for you, while empowering is your mom helping you do your own school project.Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:-ZOCDOC: Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and go to Zocdoc.com/LEAF to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.-PURITY WOODS: Purity Woods is currently offering 17% off sitewide but we have an additional 10% discount for our listeners for a total savings of 27%!

In this podcast I interview bestselling author and journalist Pamela Ryckman about her new book, Candace Pert: Genius, Greed, and Madness in the World of Science, Pamela talks about the life and career of one of the leading researchers of the mind, brain and body connection, the renowned neuropharmacologist Candace Pert. As Pamela notes, she played pivotal roles in major movements in both science and politics.Unfortunately, she was sabotaged by mentors and colleagues keen to profit from her brilliance. But, as Pamela discusses in her book, Candace also became tainted, “believing that her noble ends would justify devious means.”Our sponsors helping make this episode possible: -BUTCHERBOX: Sign up at butcherbox.com/DRLEAF and get our special deal!

In this podcast I talk about the importance of step 5 in my Neurocycle process: the active reach. This is a replay of a Neurolive webinar I did on my app. For the full AD-FREE episode please see neurocycle.app. In case you haven’t listened to any of my other podcasts or read any of my books or research, the Neurocycle is a way to harness our thinking power that I have developed and researched over the past three decades (I discuss this in detail in my book Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess and my app Neurocycle). It has 5 steps. The first step is to 1. gather awareness of how we feel mentally and physically and our perspective when we are dealing with a past wound. The second step is to 2. reflect on how we feel. Then we 3. write down our reflections to help organize our thinking. The fourth step is to 4. recheck: think about what our thoughts and feelings are trying to tell us. What does it say about what happened to us? What is our “antidote”— how will we work through how our thoughts are affecting us? Lastly, do the 5. active reach. This is a thought or action we need to practice daily to help us reconceptualize what we thought about in the previous step. What we are going to do each day to give ourselves the time and mental space needed to deal with what is bothering us and turn our destructive thoughts into a constructive future? 🚨Get 15% OFF Brain-Ee bundle here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drleaf.com 📲Get 20% off my brain detox app with code NEUROCYCLE20 (only for first-time web subscriptions): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://web.neurocycle.app/AuthSplash ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:  -Oneskin: No matter the season, you can keep your skin looking and feeling healthy with OneSkin.
