The Future of Mental Health
Helping to make mental health as common and "everyday" as physical health is today.
Thinking that mental health is only therapy is like thinking physical health is only physcial therapy. And that's just not the case.
This is why I advocate for people to start "working in." Like working out, but for your cognitions and emotions. Most people's minds are constantly trying to solve for their emotions. That's a lot of energy. That's a lot of work. That's a lot of worrying.
There's a better way...
Methodology
Start Working In
You have physical and mental agency. You can go where you want and think what you want. But what about your emotions? Does it feel like they control you? Does it seem like people and circumstances "make" you feel? Do you worry about a perceived future that doesn't exist?
This all reflects very little emotional agency. If physical and mental agency came naturally, shouldn't emotional agency have as well? Why doesn't it?
Emotional Agency™ teaches that your cognitions generate your emotions. It's an empowering framework to engage with conditioned beliefs and behaviors. It takes your focus off of trying to manage and control external stimuli and puts the focus on your inner world of beliefs, emotions, and thoughts.
Instead of working out, you start working in.
On Change
The Unseen & Unmeasurable
Let's talk about change.
The physical body is a great starting point- we all have one and we all want to change ours. Lose weight, gain weight, get faster, get stronger, etc. All of these changes are objective and measurable. But people still struggle to affect and maintain this objective change in their life.
So, what makes someone think they can change and maintain the things they can't see and can't measure? The subjective, invisible stuff like cognitions and emotions...
It's a tall task and it's exactly what I help you do.
