I had a brain trauma in 2016, I retrained my brain to put a sentence together ✌️ took 11 months to teach my brain to walk without a stick, x I'm very proud of what I achieved x
@@narcabusevictimgermany9687 I send Love and Light to You..ln Peace. WE Are One. One Family. One Heart...ONE Love. WE Are Same...Your Never Alone. Never. I Love You
its not that simple. people who love you can often give you horrible advice and help you with things you dont even need help with and they can do more harm than good. the love part i dig... the supportive part is onlu partially beneficial. depends what kind of support
Language is so important. In the English language, we say 'I AM depressed'. The sentence is structured to personally identify as depression. It is who we are. But, in the Irish language, for example, translated they say 'I have a depression ON me'. It separates the person from the depression and makes it a temporary and removable thing/object. It's a good way to explore how we identify and process something.
I just have to comment that this podcast totally changed my life I come from parental abuse to a spouse abuse that took me 13 years to get out of and it just reassures me and helps my mind quiet itself knowing there’s a solution. I ordered the book the first time I listen to this podcast and I now have it in hand and I’m excited to move forward with the rest of my life being more positive towards others I am now 66 years old so it is nice to know we’re always healing ourselves.
Fantastic I have a new hero and a woman it is so hard for women to be taken seriously Very great full for this message This is real hope. Oh. thank you Becky you ROCK
This interview totally intrigued me. I listening to it for the 2nd time. Thank you for doing this was such a remarkable lady to interview, genius. Thank you Lewis!!!
Someone who's had a life long battle with neurological issues from epilepsy, anxiety, to depression. I might have once disagreed with Caroline on her thoughts of depression, but as someone who's went to the brink of it through 5-6 miserable years, she's right. Depression did feel like a "illness." It was something that I couldn't shake off. A mixture of nutrition and mental awareness got me through (Kefir, fermented foods, methylated folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, upped protein, and a general multivitamin.) Now as someone who's no longer EXPERIENCING those symptoms, things became clear on what it was in retrospect. I had to do research, explore life, and go through years of therapy. Practice mindfulness. Pay attention to your nutrition. Compare what you're not doing and objectively what a human body needs to be healthy, fill those nutritional and activity gaps. Your body needs exercise, nature, sunlight, human interaction, even when your mind doesn't feel like it. Often what your mind wants WILL BE at odds with what your body needs, sometimes even with reality itself if you don't keep yourself in check. Those feelings of "I have no energy..." "My body hurts too much to leave bed." "No one understands why I CAN'T do it! It hurts too much/I feel sick/I feel too sad/my body hurts/there's no where to walk/I'm afraid of leaving my house/I'm afraid of socializing/society is too cruel to interact with" "Exercising sucks. I don't want to be hot/sweaty/uncomfortable" (although some of them were true) were excuses. Baby steps. Find a way where you CAN do it. Start with the laziest, easiest, healthiest solutions, and build your habits off of that. Nutrition is REALLY REALLY important. Food effects your mood. If you follow any advice AT LEAST start with your vitamin levels. Those can raise your energy levels and mood just enough to get your foot in the door (to do the more difficult stuff like take a walk or go for a hike.) If you're in the thick of your depression, and you feel like there's no way out, there is. Start your personal journey. Clean up your life. Don't allow society to box you in. Grow yourself. The sunk-cost fallacy will ruin your life. We're allowed to change ourselves on a whim. Swap paths. Swap degrees. Social circles and careers. Free yourself.
Truly excellent suggestions. As a Christian, I know there are many negative voices to destroy us. First, I gotta ARGUE with those thoughts which I believe AREN'T mine, SENT to prohibit growth. Congratulations for success, regardless how much.
I love you too, I cry with pride and love mostly and when it was anything more than frustration when I denied my facets , I now accept all of me. I am really good. and thank you for the advice. there is an explanation for everything soon.
I hear ya, but anxiety can certainly change the future by extremely affecting, limiting, and strengthening patterns that lead to many potential conditions.
@@Kevin291971 sometimes it takes that long to discover the REASON for your anxiety. i've suffered from anxiety for many yrs, was a therapist for many yrs and have actually found answers for my own issues after many yrs.
As a therapist, I appreciate this because I've had some colleagues recommend medication to someone that is homeless and depressed and I'm like "bruh, being homeless is depressing AF. Maybe we should help them find housing as a first step..." And I also love the message that it's about managing negative emotions not never having them.
@@dhgfffhcdujhv5643 Uhm, ok? Thanks for giving me a recommendation; I make sure to check that person out... but why in the world do you say this with such an agressive undertone? Whats up with that?? ?
@@loturzelrestaurant wtf lol ? Agressive ... undertone.. ? Can you tell me what i was wearing when i wrote that to ? otherwise ... Stop smoking pot maybe ?
When doctor told me I had Cancer in November I was filled with Fear. I have been thru surgery and a month long infection. I am no longer afraid Feel peace and hope. Next month starting radiation. Will keep hope
I don't recall off hand which bacteria in probiotics ( Bio-K +) brand protects the intestinal lining from radiation but it is helpful and there are scientific articles supporting its use.. I wont go into Rick Simpson's high THC oil for curing cancer, but be aware that even CBD works synergistically along with radiation therapy. I'm talking from personal experience and would explore both before your sessions begin. Good Luck!
This message has saved my son in law’s life. He is free from all medication, wen cold turkey and suffered terribly, but he made it. He now believes in himself, he is enough, and deserves a better life. Thank you. You saved a life🙏🏻
I am so happy for you "son in law" keep being happy and positive I totally understand what the cold turkey is like it's worse than living death I tried it once and lost 3 stone in 9 days I'm not over weight to begin with I didn't sleep it was awful. I had thrown the tablets away so I couldn't even take one to feel normal I told my doc and he wrote me a prescription and told me to do it slowly but I've frightened myself with just stopping so I'm trying again but well done you 👏👏👏🍀🙌🙌
Absolutely that would be the first step in the right direction. Should also be on mainstream TV instead of the crap fed to people on the Good Morning shows.
"We need to stop telling people they are brain damaged when they are just being normal human beings." Whew! This the one right here! Absolutely loved this, great inspiration
I appreciate her perspectives on: as a society pathologize the things of the human condition, market pharmaceuticals, and therapy programs and counseling that gets you nowhere, as money making schemes. Her approach doesn't make money so Big Pharma doesn't like this as they support the Apartheid system of labels and diagnostics.
I was diagnosed as bi-polar 40 years ago. I realize it was my thoughts about what I went through that was causing it. Took medication for all those years and didn’t even need it. It never helped but couldn’t get my doc to help me stop it. Finally weaned myself off it. I’m in a very good frame of mind now and I believe Jesus was the help I needed.
My son has just been diagnosed with it too, he just turned 18. Am trying to get him to start thinking differently and positively and not be on mede coz the med seem to just numb things.
Wow, I am blown away by her message and the work she has done. I used to have bad depression and battled it and went to south america to take ayahuasca and san pedro and it helped tremendously. Around that time I realized that I was not "ill" or "crazy", but that the depression and anxiety were messengers about my life. Once I met likeminded people that were having the same problems, because they didn't seem to fit in, I realized these were just symptoms for underlying problems. That view alone can help so much.
Which place did you go yobbybthe way? I used to live in Peru 🇵🇪. I've been thinkninh about going back there or to Costa Rica to do the same thing you've described.
@@GQ-jv9uw I think it’s referring to everything in our life. We should see everything the way the Lord wants us to, not the way natural man sees things when it doesn’t line up with truth.
interesting. Does this mean we can have hope for disabled people too being able to cure their neurological damages with light energy? I really don´t know... maybe you can tell me?

This show MUST be shared. It is medical gold.
She put me in tears -- friends who are doctors in neuro telling me I need medicine and one dose put me in the ER, and it just numbs me. It doesn't HEAL me. So many things doctors aren't helping with, just slapping bandaids with medicines instead of looking for the root causes and working on rewiring your brain. The mind is a POWERFUL thing. Thank you, doctor, I just ordered your books to study and use daily and I couldn't be more excited!! Finally a true DOCTOR who cares about helping her patients to HEAL.
Jenni I am so sorry you are going through this and you are so right. You need support to get to the root of what's causing your symptoms. If you are looking for a supportive and inspiring community of women on similar journey's let me know. You don't have to feel along
I was in a 6 week coma after a MV accident over 20yrs ago, Glascocoma Reading 4, the Drs said I’d be in a home for the rest of my life. Through shear will, positive spirit & Gods blessings, I learnt how to walk & talk again then finished my degree, married & emigrated. The mind is phenomenal!!
@@lewishowesI was in a four week coma , had viral meningitis in college and spent three months in a rehabilitation center learning how to walk, bread etc. Went back to school, college and graduated in four years. I have a tracheotomy scar and live with much fear, TMS mind body pain , symptoms of depression but this information will help me. Thank you
Dr. Leaf is a valuable human being who is giving her time, energy and intelligence to benefit mankind. I have a deep respect for her and the work she is doing. This is an awesome video and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to view it.
Yes she is amazing! I can’t wait to get her book and get started on this new journey. We are such powerful human beings but we let the outside dictate us! We must take back the control and live life to the fullest!
💯 Mary, *I agree,* I love her contributions! *So much valuable* information and research and insights. 💖 I'd amend your comment to: *every* human is valuable. You are a valuable human being. I am. Lewis is. Etc... we all bring different contributions, but *I believe we are all valuable human beings.* 😊
EVERYONE IS A VALUABLE HUMAN BEING...WE JUST NEED KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION ESPECIALLY ABOUT OURSELVES AND HOW TO OPTIMIZE OURSELVES AND BY EXTENSION THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎. YOU ARE EVERY BIT AS 'IMPORTANT' AS SHE IS. ❤️❤️❤️
1. Gather the emotional, physical feeling, behaviour/action, perspective. 2. reflect(become detective, gather awareness and control). Meaning 3. Write- clusters of information 4. Action- do limited amount of time for 63 days. Mind healing needs 3 cycles of 21 days. With messy mind healing takes 60% more time. Embrace and conceptualize the thoughts. Being aware of every 10 second-constant monitoring-self regulations. Brain building-mental and physical resilience-baby neurons responds to deep thinking-study deeply for an hour, anything challenges brain-improves neuroplasticity.
I wonder if that means someone like me can be helped. I can’t remember much trauma when I was a child as I was a loved and a bit spoilt and over protected We did travel the world 🌎( army kid) a lot and I did so many different schools in so many different countries-I managed to have an average education Always remember feeling a bit disorientated with peoples different accents in the different countries ! Generally a happy child although quite sensitive - I was stunned and upset for days at 8years old when a women went to hospital to have a baby and a 👶 baby died. I can remember crying to my mum but I can’t remember her response.Although I’m sure she was she would’ve been understanding and tried to explain it. But the time I was 10 I was lying in bed (back in UK ) when the cat was out every single night I would lie in bed worrying that it would get killed when it was out but daytime I Arose and I was back happy again- Rebellious teenager time came I had a bit of trouble at school and although I wasn’t allowed to mix with boys I ended up with an older boyfriend I was 13 he was 19. I ended up having his baby at 17 and leaving him at 21 due to his continuous violence and he was violent even when I was a teenager. My friend can never understand why I wasn’t a spoiled brat as I always was sharing my things and was very considerate - I think I was trying to be the nice girl mum wanted - I had a sister 12-years older than me but it was obvious I was the favourite one. Anyway by then 21 I left with my child As managed to get away but I ended up with another guy who was emotionally abusive and alcoholic. I never see signs of this because I was so pleased to be away from the first marriage I had a son with husband no 2 Who was autistic maybe he was vaccination damage this started to think about all the vaccines that I had over the years because my main mind was always in a state of turmoil. My mother was always helping me and my kids with household chores and finance although they were on minimum wages .By that time I was working due to the alcoholic partner couldn’t keep a job and I was working in child residential care I learn about issues of attachment here.and then started to do an extra study my daughters boyfriend was able to help me with a written work for the first two years and my other friends from then on and I ended up with a degree in social work . I had the information but I could not put it into a coherent pattern so people could understand. After two relationships one was a mutual split up and the other one I was with a narcissistic type I have been in a job for 13 years. At this job my boss was very good at just playing to my strengths supporting people ideas creativity etc I had a strong urge to protect young people. When redundancy happened which was only three years ago I have already had three jobs and each time that confusion no I’m 62 is overwhelming, I have had a stroke when I was 59 but I have recovered well and I cannot say that My brain is any worse although it showed up on the scanner as I have brain damage. But how do they know that wasn’t done with the many blows to the head when I was with my first husband from 13 to 21? I have since been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia but I’m not convinced of these things but I cannot see where I’ve had a Adverse childhood trauma. Because before my violent relationship at a young age - i was already very easy lead very easily fooled was very impulsive and naughty. Although my mum would never admit it. Oh my God the things I have tried medication but very short lived, the Dore program Which cost me nearly £2000 and they kept telling me that I was better on their charts but I never felt I was getting any better on a day-to-day basis. Yoga -meditation and some Machine that I plugged into my head and listen to strange noises. I’ve always managed to make friends and keep them but I often play the one down position and never challenge if I think my friends are wrong about something or very rarely or if I do I think my words very very carefully because I don’t wanna upset anybody. Both my children have grown up and had problems but thank goodness they’ve worked through them and even my son who is autistic hold a job and my daughter who used to drink is now sober and she’s holding a position as a Counsellor and I’m proud of them both. I count my blessings because I know that some people never had any love to fall back on from the family but I still don’t understand why my brain is like my brain. I really enjoyed what this lady said today and I’m going to buy a book ASAP I have countless books and brains et cetera but I hope this one is going to be the one I also hope to get my brain in gear because I’m on a trial now for this job and I’m going to go and try medication just so that I may cope until I can do something else. The problem is I feel is that I never really know the root cause and if I knew the root cause I think that makes the treatment clearer. Sometimes I have believed I have a brain dysfunction and I’m ADHD And sometimes I just think I’ve got a lazy brain and it’s been lazy for years. I forgot to mention I’ve also been to Peru and Holland and tried psychedelics , Psychedelics are meant to open the Connections to the neurons in the brain un the brain-the Ayahuasca and the Mushrooms. I still believe in those in the sense that they could help but of course I’m in UK so that’s a no-no now. I am also doing psycho psychotropic breath work but as with meditation and yoga my brain 🧠 just wonders off and I don’t keep my focus. So I’m really hoping this book 📚 is going to help
1 and 1/2 years ago I seen her on your podcasts. I immediately got her books and listen to her podcasts and have been studying them over and over. Her work is amazing.
@@wildwestingkat You're welcome, me too! We gain so much power when we realise we have control over our minds to make our own choices in life, even on an emotional level.
@@ruthhorowitz7522 Respect for investing that effort in yourself that's amazing, a lot of people don't even try. I'm far from a qualified therapist so there's only so much I can say, but have you tried inner child work and dived into the other subconscious things in therapy like past trauma and limiting beliefs?
@@ruthhorowitz7522 I really wish I could help more but as I said I'm really not qualified to. I truly believe there's always more we can do though. There are so many things out there to try we almost have an unlimited supply of avenues to explore, even if it doesn't fix everything it can always be better than it is. 'The Power of now' is an awesome book that might be worth checking out and there's a guy on UA-cam called Julienhimself who's also great. Just pitching out things that could be of some use. I also found this article just now maybe it will help www.everydayhealth.com/columns/therese-borchard-sanity-break/things-consider-when-your-depression-not-getting-better/
This is what I needed. My body was in full blown anxiety mode and stress for about three weeks straight. A week after it started my hands were numb and my feet were tingling. Everyone told me I was inflamed and weren’t sure why. I had brain mri back mri. They gave me antipsychotics, celebrex, gabapentin and nothing helped. I finally told my self look enough we are changing our thinking and slowly all my symptoms are going away.
I'm so glad you're journey is on a better path now. I literally was in my bed till 6pm and had to keep thinking over and over "you're ok, you're in YOUR bed, you're safe, everyone is fine, nothing is wrong". I didn't want to take care of myself, was exhausted and anxious. But I listened to this and I know what to do now. It's scary cause the daylight bothers me. Your post inspired me to untangle the mess I've made by giving up! Thank you..
I’ve been in healthcare for 47 years. Dr. Leaf has done so much for the sick and injured as to be in the top 2% of all clinicians. In gratitude for the countless souls you’ve helped.
I should have been in the study. When I was baby my head went through a window shield. They told me that I was never going to walk and talk again. I was 13 months old I’m now 46 and I’ve been walking and taking ever since. Thanks to my praying family and parents.
Dr Leaf’s descriptions are EXACTLY correct. My entire life is a testament to the reality that there is no such thing as mental illness. Please continue, Dr Leaf!
More people need to learn self-control and realize they are the architect of their own destiny. If more people know this we could end a lot of suffering and make the world a better place.

I have worked through so much of this! Thank you for this awesome information!
@@EA-xd1jr we are not our emotions. We experience them, we choose to react to external circumstances through our perspectives that are ever changing. Most of our emotions have to do with our subconscious thoughts that have been programmed through our life experiences. You have to consciously choose your perspectives and rewrite your perspectives of past experience to control your emotions.
@@Froglet1968 detaching does not mean not feeling and allowing them to guide you. It means not identifying them as who you are as a person. Like someone saying they are an angry person. That's identifying. That's not who you are, and if it is the dominant emotion, that means there is suppressed trauma that needs to be dealt with.
Well said🙏🏽 And perhaps it is being used as a form of control by a powerful minority in these times. Isolation is a form of torture. If we can free our minds we can transcend. Perhaps we have much to learn from the great freedom fighters of the past. One love 💗
Interesting video and thanks for the info to both Lewis and Caroline. I know what she says could help some people, HOWEVER the ULTIMATE HEALER is Jesus! Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!
@@usa4ever711 yeah cus praying away your mental Illness has always worked 🙄 don’t tell people to pray their ILLNESS away. Please. Take that somewhere else. I’m tired of religious people like you acting like you know what you’re talking about all the time. YOU DO NOT.
"I'm not depression" ❤️. Absolutely love her approach, stuffing patients with pills isn't always the answer, as a matter of fact, Paleo diet and exercise has helped me so much more with keeping my bipolar disorder in check like no prescription carbonated lithium pill ever did. Your channel is an entire universe of free access to greatness indeed, thank you very much for the wholesome work you put into it!
@@jillwilson883 just quit cold turkey, it never mitigated my depression anyway, it only took away the very few days of mania when I actually have the energy to get productive and take care of important things I usually procrastinate on... When I follow my Paleo right, exercise and get good sleep I can go for long periods of time feeling generally good, I usually notice changes in my mood when I'm not doing these things properly and on top of that drinking alcohol, alcohol is a huge no no to bipolar disorder.
@@Noneyabusiness__foff Quitting cold turkey has not worked well for me. I did it on my own and ended up manic, hospitalized & now on more meds than I've ever been on. With the aid of a doctor, I became manic, hospitalized & medicated. I have a new doc that has said he would work with me, but if I became manic he would have to hospitalize me and put me back on meds. I now know that mania for some w/withdrawal is a symptom of your brain adjusting to not having the meds. It all seems complicated. I'm believing that God will make a way. My day to day on meds is not a good experience @ all.
@@jillwilson5326 maybe yours is a more severe case, my maniac episodes aren't dangerous for my overall wellbeing, like engaging in reckless behavior such as drinking and driving or other activities that could cause major damage to myself, all I get is a hit of dopamine which increase my motivation to get more productive, NGL, sometimes I can get obsessed with learning about a new subject, often learning strategies to cope with the deficient parts of my life for example, and getting hiper focused on learning about it, but that's about it, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Now, there are people with the same condition whom experience maniac episodes differently, often doing things they'll potentially regret shortly after, in those cases unfortunately they can't stop medication for their own safety, however, I've met many people with the same condition that did pretty good with the same copying mechanisms I've adopted, it all boils down to how you experience your maniac episodes and how long have you been taking your meds and which meds you were taking, lithium is a mood stabilizer not necessarily an antipsychotic, now if besides lithium you've been prescript antipsychotic meds as well then I'd take it easy, start doing the same things I mentioned above like diet, sleep and so on while slowly decreasing the doses of your meds every other month, if you've been on meds for two years or longer for example, it'll take at least a year to go totally off the meds safely by the decreasing doses process, but it's still worth trying. I wish you good luck!
Lewis is a very skilled interviewer. He understands that the best thing for an interviewer to do is to stay quiet and ask simple questions occasionally. You are very skilled-thanks for your greatness!
When you said “it’s not our responsibility to make that person own what they did. That’s up to them to unpack and we have to be released from that” was so HUGE and freeing for me ! Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing what you’ve learned! Much love to you for your willingness to share and for helping heal the world !

Totally! Want to end fatigue, fuzzy thinking, lack of concentration, poor memory, sluggishness, lack of ambition or drive, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, clear your vision and end your anxiety - cut out all sugar and processed foods that contain sugar. (that's the tricky part, a lot of food sellers sweeten their products to get you addicted and keep buying their products) Always check ingredients.
This woman is amazing, she is going to change the world. She is going to turn the machine on its head...her discoveries are history in the making. I hope those of us hearing this, send protective energies around her and her family.
I seriously doubt it. People are lazy and don't want or believes they are in control of their health. They can't be bothered to help themselves and go to their doctors for that magic pill or vaccine to fix them instead of doing something to help themselves.
Thanks so much . I wrote in my journal today . “Thanks universe to put me this podcast today” . After years of abuse from my mothers , and ex boyfriend . I realized that all my negatives thoughts affect my lifestyle, my present , future , family and friends . I start to take care of my mind to change complete my life . Blessed
She's right, I used to think I'd always feel depressed and I surely did, but the day I changed my mind and stop telling myself that I relieved myself of suffering, I sometimes have days but instead of just sitting in it I try to figure it out and move on. Exercising helped me as well.
OMG yes. Self-work-I think it’s why we’re here. Like that one guy Ghandi said, “Be the change”. Running seriously helped me. Been running 10 years straight now. Helped Forrest Gump too.
This woman is precious to humankind. Her life has been dedicated to saving lives. Just watching this has changed my life, for the better. Thank you kindly ❤
This woman--Dr. Caroline Leaf--is a super amazing human being whose heart and dedication to her field and passion is really great. Her greatness is immeasurable with the amount of time and sweat she has contributed to help hundreds and thousands of not only patients but to all normal people who has some hidden abnormal behaviors. I truly learned a lot from this valuable conversation which I can use to understand and improve myself as well as my family esp. my children. Thank you also Lewis for your intelligent questions and for sharing your own trauma and experiences. You are both awesome!👏👏
"Only 3% of leaders are talking about mental health." Lewis, thank you so much for talking openly about your experience with sexual abuse and helping to remove the stigma associated with it.
And this is how I got here. I couldn't reset my mood for today after meditating and reading a few books. My next step, science, psychology, something that will help me understand why I do the things I do. I shared this video within 20 minutes of listening. I have written more than 5 pages, while telling myself how great, smart, pretty valuable I am. Thank you so much for the love and support in helping us find ourselves. Sometimes it takes hearing rhe information in different sentiments to understand. It all makes sense. Thank you!
I love how you interview people Lewis. You seem genuinely interested in everyone who sits opposite you and you let them talk while providing great questions along the way.

I NEED to buy this women's book. I pray that it helps with my "depression, anxiety, and panic attacks" she is just brilliant. After suffering for years (even on medications), she gives me hope ❤️
Its helped me overnight. I'm not kidding. [ This podcast] You can only go 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water,3 minutes without oxygen but not even 3 minutes without thinking. That means your mind is more potent than anything else. More potent than depression. more powerful than a panic attack, more vigorous than anxiety. It can overpower all.

This is so wonderful. I'm a psych nurse, and this isn't how we treat depression and other mental disorders. I'm wondering how I can exit psych nursing and become more holistic in a private practice, maybe as a life coach.
Yes Yes Yes!!! As a 54 yr old survivor of cptsd and tbi...trying everything on this planet to heal...everything that you are saying is EXACTLY true for me and I have been healing years of trauma related injuries with these very beliefs. Thank you for sharing TRUE and HEALING information. Love this! Sharing with my Isolation support group.
Best interview ever. She sounds genuine. So much spiritual talk these days and here we have a scientist/doctor explaining it in common language. Every psychologist and psychiatrist should implement her techniques.
This is still spiritual the way she is talking she explains both the spiritual and the science behind it. In reality science is the exploration of things we know exist but can't prove until we do; The things unseen by the naked eye. There are those who would say they don't believe in souls. And you ask them why and they will say because i can't see it with my eyes or touch it with my hands and until i do i won't believe....okay.. But you are willing to believe in Atoms and Radioactive energy and can you see these things with your naked eyes. No. But that's different. i know they exist. Since most people aren't scientists and you are an average person like myself how do you know this personally? ... Well i trust the understanding of a scientist who went to school. I mean they study the sciences and the things that we can't see. Okay but once nobody understood that things existed either until it was discovered. And i say well you still can't see it with your own eyes so how can you believe what this science is showing you is accurate? Theories are disproved all the time I mean look at Aristotle some of the theories he built up were quite sound in his time and were later disproven by other great minds. Okay yeah i see your point. Are you saying there are no absolutes? No I'm saying that every day you use a combination of faith and science with how you think and your very mind itself is a spiritual thing. Hence is why i believe that we all have a soul. I mean look at the marvel of electricity. It has always been here and there and so sometimes it is not about what you can see or touch but what you can feel when you reach down to the very core of your being and you search for a knowledge that is as old as Time. There are truths we know on a primal or spiritual level. And this woman has given an insightful explanation of the force and power of our mind. But by explaining the difference between the mind and the brain, she explains that the mind is a separate entity a force of its own. This is our mind ourselves our true essence. Separate from our brain and not physical. Sounds a lot like a soul to me.
She’s also is Spiritual. First time I heard of her she was talking in a church explaining the spiritual aspects of her works. She just explains it in a great way that anyone can understand
@@brelynspears754 It also has something to do with which brain a person is using at that "second": RIGHT:Spiritual/Creative/Intuitive/Spiral; LEFT: Scientific/Rational/Linear; REPTILIANBRAINSTEM:Instinctual/Connector; also, GUTMIND; HEARTMIND! Also, you can choose to perceive the world as a garbage dump, or as everything is SACRED. I choose the latter. We are Spiritual Souls having an experience in a physical body.
I have been on various medications for "bi-polar disorder" for 16 years. Through this podcast and Dr. Despenza I have learned so much. I had an episode this past year, was hospitalized and I am on 3 different drugs. I know that they have and are altering my brain. I feel horrible everyday, but are hard pressed to find a medical professional that will help me safely withdraw from the neurotoxins that I ingest daily. I feel until I'm free of the drugs neuroscience will not help. I have abruptly stopped in the past and it was disastrous. With the aid of a doctor I tried to withdraw but he withdraw too much too soon, another disaster. I want desperately to get my life back. I hope that someone can see this comment and help. In the meantime, I continue to pray, meditate, and force myself to exercise, and am learning how to eat properly. Thank you Lewis for all you do for us. Continued blessings.
Bless your heart!!! Please continue to talk about your desire to live a life free from pharmaceuticals because there are so many people who feel the same way. I have been taking antidepressants for decades!!! I am, as of 8 months, free from them and I would love to just help you to find a doctor who will assist you in titrating off of your medications. You are smart not to do that on your own and while I’m not a doctor, I do know that we can’t do this on our own so feel free to respond to this comment and maybe we can talk to see what your options are. Please keep talking about this, remain hopeful. You are not alone and you are so important. Thank you for your bravery!
Dr. Leaf is bringing difficult truths to the surface - she is courageous and inspirational. You are liberating so many people with your work. BLESSINGS to you Dr. Leaf and Lewis Howes!!!!
She has no neuroscience credentials. Her degrees are in speech therapy and educational psychology. I have a degree in mathematics, I am as qualified to call myself a "neuroscientist" as she is. Which is to say not at all.
This is incredibly inspiring. I've always believed that anxiety and depression are signals. Not an indication that something is wrong with YOU. Love this interview! Well done both
SUP, I agree with you. As a 70 yo, male, retired now, I have suffered with Chronic Anxiety with occassional Panic / Anxiety Attacks. I have Spinal Issues that have surfaced over the many years, which were not innate, but developed after a Physical Trauma of a fractured right femur in 1966. It resulted ina 1 inch shorter leg which in turn wreaked havoc with my spine and "physical Infrastructure". This topic , this Doctor is fantastic, so energetic and knowledgeable and Insightful. You can plainly see How Excited sghe is explaining Neuroscience. That is the Science of the 21st Century. Amazing how she explains the Mental Traumas you may experience , no matter how minimal you initially think they are, affect your MIND and thus your Mind - Body Connection.
@@bootstrapperwilson7687 For me. Under the depression was unidentifed trauma from not knowing I had an ADHD brain, and the world being so hard. Also bad diet. Good Gut microbes are vital to good cognitive funciton. Functional mushrooms (we need the anti-inflamatories for our brains, and the beta gloucons to allow neurogenisis to turn back to recover the lost brain cells), yoga, and unlimited self love and forgivness were my approxomate tools/plan.
Brilliant intelligent woman. Probably one of the best interviews I have ever seen regarding this topic. What liberating knowledge. It’s people like this that shine a light into humanity, showing us a way through the darkness - a true beacon of hope. Thankyou to both of you for this interview 🙏🏻
Oh yes the power suggestion our mind is crazy honey when I was inactive addiction and I didn't have my medication I would flip out but if I knew I was getting it or you know I mean I guess that's the placebo effect yeah it's bizarre
My doctor tried that with me. I said no I'm not depressed. She wanted to give me pills. I said no. My energy is down. So something is going on. Checked my thyroid. Took meds no improvement. Went to naturopath got better tests and natural meds. Felt way better in 1 month!
@@debraallsopp6530 you did the right thing. Glad you got better. After a week I stopped my medication, which made me so tired and guess what I was my usual self again. The doctor took the easy way out. Give her some antidepressants. That’ll do. It shouldn’t be allowed to fob people of when they don’t know what’s wrong.
This one statement was so liberating. I’m excited to get her book based on her refreshing perspective and genuine interest In helping people. So glad I found this!!
Perhaps true for many things but not alcoholism; there is physical addiction with most drugs and with alcohol. it is not 'just in your mind'. I worked with chemical dependent individuals for 15 yrs. and have my own issues.
Now I truly BELIEVE I CAN be great 🥰. I’m turning 45 this year and I’m so looking forward to the rest of my life. I can’t express how grateful I am for you guys who take the time to have these conversations. It has changed my life.
@@merissagermainesantana8570 I'm from Ireland... I meet a very friendly girl from Trinidad she is married to an Irishman living down the road from me. Trinidad people seem very nice
Definitely needed this video after being in a relationship emotionally with an emotionally detached person; I poured so much into him and only ended up draining myself. I’ve been saying positive affirmations daily and getting back into Loving myself again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love what she says about forgiveness. Forgiving someone who has caused such trauma has always been hard for me to conceive. She says that what someone has done can never be forgiven. That wrongness is always there. What happen in that moment in time was wrong, but it's not our responsibility to make that person own it. They have to unpack that wrongness, what we have to do is be released from it. Starts around 1:19 for anyone interested.
@@juttaschmieg342 it's always a choice to continue a cycle of abuse or addiction or break it. True empathy, understanding & conviction are the core of breaking the cycles. And it's difficult for most people to get into that state of mind most are too self consumed dealing with their own life and whatever justification drives them to continue abusing. It takes huge amounts of strength & bravery to get to the CORE of these very personal (hence societal issues) and change for the better once a person has gone down that path, but It can be done!! I know so many who haven't continued the generational cycle of abuse because they remembered how it felt to be beaten, raped, forced to use drugs by their parents or others they trusted and made a vow to NEVER make another feel as horrible as they felt. One person I know was 8 yrs old when he made that choice to never be like his father. And he had been tricked a number of times by his father to drink alcohol by the age of 5 yrs. old because his father thought it was funny to watch his little boy stumble & slur. This young boy never became an alcoholic like his father, never forced alcohol on his children or anyone else. He broke the cycle and he is one of so many unsung heroes in our world! It's always an individual choice!!!!!
Lewis, I love your work! I'm a family and trauma therapy specialist and Dr Caroline Leaf comes from my neck of the woods, South Africa! She's brilliant and I'm so glad you had her on your show because so many people are struggling. Great stuff!!!
I was browsing and I stumbled on this interview with Dr.Caroline Leaf , very good and important information for life and persons who are suffering or going through these things...it will give them hope to live life anew. Excellent Dr. Leaf and Lewis Howes.
Interesting video and thanks for the info to both Lewis and Caroline. I know what she says could help some people, HOWEVER the ULTIMATE HEALER is Jesus! Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!
When I worked as a counselor I found one of the most harmful things people did to themselves consisted of the untrue damaging self-talk they kept repeating to themselves about a situation or a person. The dialogue between counselor and client (even a child) and figuring out where that self talk came from is what frees them from what I would call "strong holds in the mind." I never thought of it as changing neurology. And yes, poor sleep habits and a processed foods diet will make you feel terrible and sorta crazy all by its self.
@@rahulmody8246 I can. I started becoming aware of negative self talk after listening to Eckhart Tolle, but didn't realize the extent of it until I started monitoring my thoughts. Initially, I caught myself once in a while, then it became more frequent, often just after it happened and other times well into the monologue. With ongoing monitoring, I became aware of it sooner and more frequently, and finally was catching myself when it was starting. The act of conscious awareness diminished their frequency and dissolved the chatter. Today, couple of years later, I have very few negative thoughts and catch myself immediately as they arise and watch them dissolve. I suspect due to its cessation, I feel much better less stressed and anxious and the circular thinking just a faint and distant memory. The most important lesson I've learned for those suffering from anxiety is the advice of an Australian doctor who was a victim herself and actually an early pioneer of CBT - cognitive behavior therapy. You don't need to spend time and money on therapy trying to uncover the causes of your trauma, just confront the fear and anxiety and start to accept it with submissive SURRENDER. The panic/anxiety attacks will diminish in frequency and potency sooner than SSRIs would kick in and leave you empowered. The woman was an angel and helped thousands of people in America with her radio shows from Australia. Her name is Claire Weekes and her audios are available free on YT and I recommend starting with => "Dr Claire Weekes - Pass through Panic". Her method works and it will help you for the rest of your life. cheers ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=claire+weekes+audiobook
@@normanwitts293 I've been viewing Raphael's painting in the Vatican - called The Transfiguration. I commented on the lower part of the photo, before I gave out copies: " Why not cut to the quick and just be divine, like Jesus and the Apostles painted here? That way you may become Imago Viva Dei, while holding this meditation ! "
I feel moved to say halfway through this three course through the end actually When he expresses facing himself and talking about his trauma the body language in the feedback emotionally from this woman giving him that space after all the knowledge she just gave to us for free is a perfect combination of an individual who has done the hard work combined with very high intelligence self-awareness and deep empathy in my opinion a true healer that is what she is
She nailed it, my life is an example of struggling against mental illness stigma, and my greatness has been always knowing there’s no such thing as mental illness, but I couldn’t defend myself until I could prove it and dismantle it. She has given words to that proof. Thanks to both of you.
This is freaking fascinating! As someone with both chronic pain issues and blood sugar issues, her mentioning that she witnessed her blood sugar skyrocket when under stress and then was able to bring her sugar down with her mind is very eye opening.
Thank you so much Lewis for your podcast and thank you Caroline Leaf for sharing your understanding. Your conversation is so important to so many people. Labelling unhappy people and putting them on long term medication is doing so much damage to so many unfortunate, misunderstood people who do not have the knowledge to do the inner work they need to rise above these traumatic experiences and evolve into healthy, happy people. We also have a spirit, not just a mind and a brain. There are many roads that lead to healing but accepting a psychiatric label (mental illness) and medicine is not one of them! Yes, temporary medication and help but not a lifetime sentence, please. We are here to learn and evolve.
"Switch on your Brain" is her best book.. there's a 21 day brain detox in there. Each negative thought will take that long to replace with a positive one. Takes time but it does work.

Without a doubt, this Doctor is speaking the truth, finally! Dr. Caroline Leaf is using scientific data and a common-sense approach to really help all people to live their life to the fullest. Thanks, Lewis, for having this Lady on your show. This is the most intelligent conversation I've ever heard from a Doctor... I'm subscribing to your show

God is truly amazing. This video just showed up at the exact time I had a discussion with a family member which left me searching for answers and guidance. I came to bed feeling hurt, then came on UA-cam and this video was there like God was saying "here is the next step". I come back time and time to this video anytime need motivation. THANKS VERY MUCH!!!
Have you considered Google AI tracks your interests and put the video suggestion up for you? Mind you, its been said god works in mysterious ways, kudos to your god using google to nurture your growth!
It's nice that god guided you here. How about giving some credit to the person who conducted this truly brilliant interview b asking really insightful, thoughtful questions AND the actual woman who has dedicated HER ENTIRE LIFE to studying the research, refusing to settle for the intrenched academic rhetoric, and not being afraid to question the status quo, conduct her own research, and then spend her life traveling the world sharing this entirely groundbreaking new information that SHE RESEARCHED, likely against every single one of her colleagues, mentors, and surely the most accomplished researchers in her field (whose lifelong research she was IN-validating). It's not just god who is amazing. There are REAL WORLD people right here on this video who gave you that motivation you so desperately needed (if we are to believe your own words).
I saw a BBC experiment with 2 brand new smartphones to see if they offered ads after chance to eavesdrop a lunchtime conversation. The result was negative. No signs of eavesdropping.
@@andyc1909 i live in the SF Bay area with 2 silicon valley execs....your DEVICES....not just your phones...are eavesdropping on you. That's not just Siri, but also Alexa, and every other smart device (Ring doorbell?), computer. tablet, and laptop you possess. It is astounding that people do not realize this? Every app on your phone, every text you send, every political conversation you have, every DM, every IM, every photo you save on your device or in the cloud. These are NOT secrets.
I love this! I have always refused to say, “I have....”. The fact is, I am “experiencing the symptoms” of multiple sclerosis because of the “stress” of domestic violence I went through! I have been able to heal myself through thoughts that validate the condition without labeling myself broken. She is right on spot, and I would love to participate in her quest for more research and the spread of awareness!
That's wonderful I'm so proud of you my mother had a very good friend that I had multiple sclerosis remember that is not defined even that is not who you are what seen you nobody can take away remember that
I am healing by eating healthy foods, getting 8 hours of sleep every night 10-6, exercise, drinking water, positive thinking, caring for animals, and reading God’s word of truth.
This is fastening my son is schizophrenic. As a child they only treated with medicine. He has been to many psychiatrists. I was never advised to just try to talk and understand him. Wow this is amazing.
Doctora mis respetos para huste lo que enseña y dise es toda Verdad DIOS le dio el don UNIVERSAL yo sí hesanado poca gente porque no toda la gente cre y piensan que yo estoy loca pero ya lo he experimentado y la gente que cre sé ha sonado, yo vivo en Puerto Penasco México y Dios me ayudó a aprender asi como huste por lo mismo que ya morí dos veces y tuve que dar mi cuerpo a la Universidad para que experimentar, pero mi cerebro y mi mente yo tenia que yo belveria a ser un nuevo ser vivo y a qui estoy recuperada sana completa mente 13 años sana y sanando a otros si creen en DIOS y en si mismo, Bendiciones 😇
I love this woman!!! ❤️ I've been suffering from depression recently and am sick of people calling me bipolar etc. I stubbornly reply I'm having a natural reaction to a horrible sequence of circumstances. Thanks for validating this Mrs Leaf! Just hearing that someone believes you're not crazy makes you feel a LOT better. This world needs more intelligent, caring and driven doctors like her.
“The only way to get control is to embrace, to process and to re-conceptualise”, amazing! Deep and wonderful explanation on how our mind works. Thank you for this interview with Dr. Leaf.
I also need to add that the value in this interview is immense. This needs to be seen everywhere. I am with this woman on everything she says regarding not labelling anyone as sick who experiences mental health issues. It’s not and never has been an illness. Nobody is broken. It’s all management. Dr Caroline you are now my hero.
This was mine blowing for me. For some reason I have never heard of DR Leaf. I think we've all experienced horrible trauma in our life and to know there's a solution. Thank you Louis for sharing this incredible video.
My granddaughter gave me an orchid 2 years ago , the first I've ever had, it started to bud and flower last year and I've never felt such delight over something so trivial but it brought me so much happiness 💖 so I'm so excited this year im keeping a close eye on it 🧐🙏
I loved this talk. Thank you! She is amazing and appreciated her lessons. And I appreciate your openness too Lewis. I have been through a lot of trauma in my lifetime. I have had every diagnosis under the sun. In the last year I have gotten a handle on my emotions with the help of your podcasts, and several others. I work on myself everyday. It's a absolute new beginning for me. I am 66 yrs young. And I did add her book to my library. Thank you again.
Thanks Lewis for being such a curious interviewer, great content always. You don't know how much this has helped me in my situation. I suffer from brain trauma and since 2 years I have been running to neurologists, psychiatrists and therapists...all I ever needed was not medication but to hear this content. I can't thank you enough and I ordered the book from Dr leaf as well to know what more she has to say...
Your mind is incredibly powerful. Your biggest obstacle is letting go of doubts & excuses to believe you're in control. Overcoming challenges can be your greatest gift. If you really want to improve, be determined & you'll find a way. Commit to consistent practice of Dr Leaf's protocols & you can accomplish your desires. Do your best to ignore anyone telling you to accept your condition. They usually have good intentions but as Dr Leaf explains, you're in charge of creating your reality. It's helpful to visualize your intended results & imagine your experience as if they're already done. Wishing you abundant Blessings!
I've been following Dr. Leaf for a few years now, and her research is incredible. And her passion for getting her message out that we each have so much more control than any of us realize over "how" we experience life, and how we choose to respond to the circumstances around us. We can't always control our environment (case in point --> the Covid pandemic), however, we CAN choose how we respond to everything happening around us. Whether we are angry, sad, bitter, happy, content, glass half-empty or glass half-full.......however we each decide to "think" or feel about a given situation....that is completely our choice. And the person most affected by that choice is ourselves. If we choose to be bitter or angry, then our brains become that toxic, dead tree she held up during this video. However, when we choose to make the best of a given situation, then we produce more of that green tree visual she gave us. Either way, our "choice" to feel good/bad/angry/sad/depressed/angry, etc....is just that. It's our personal "choice." No one can make you feel anything. You alone decide how you feel. One way leads to a longer life; the other to a shorter one. So, @arsh...with your brain trauma, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY encourage you to study more of Dr. Caroline Leaf's content. Pick up her book, "Cleaning Up the Mental Mess", and learn how to go through the "Neurocycles" she teaches, and it will help you to start healing more quickly. My son (now 20 yr old, has had multiple TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) in his life so far, and I have sincere empathy for you with what you are going through now. | Take a look at some of Dr. Leaf's brain injury patients that she's worked with over the past 2-30 years. I can almost guarantee you that if you implement her strategies for rewiring your brain, and retraining your mind, you will heal faster, and go further than probably all the medical professionals you worked with combined. Best of luck to you, and hopefully, and quite literally, wishing you a speedy and full recovery. :)
This is a game-changer. I think the most important take-away from this was at 48 minutes. Paraphrasing: Don't be afraid of your bad feelings and experiences. They are only messengers telling you something. If you respond to them as such, you control them. If you respond with fear, they control you, and then you'll get stuck. Many things mentioned here I have either thought about or done instinctively, but telling others about my advances they have told me I'm crazy. They say there is nothing one can do by oneself to feel better. Conclusion of this talk: it's not just possible to learn how to feel better by oneself, it's the bl**d* responsibility for everyone in order to make this thing we call Earth a better place.
Amen! We all have to be accountable of the choices we make as adults and be better, but not kill ourselves over circumstances out of our control. We all have the responsibility to be better if we want a better world.
We have been so immersed in the need to have a reason/excuse/valid problems; and many of us are terrified that we will lose the help (especially financial) we have been given so we can survive and function with our 'disability' what if we can't make it without this help, if we actually make improvements. We have been taught--or willingly accepted that we are damaged, defective and are victims. Who benefits from our dismissing or believing that we can not be much more capable than we currently are long term we individually do not benefit. Boy I appreciate this show and the many people you present to learn from and make new choices about our lives and well-being and human potential!!! Thank you all so much.

Language is so important. In the English language, we say 'I AM depressed'. The sentence is structured to personally identify as depression. It is who we are. But, in the Irish language, for example, translated they say 'I have a depression ON me'. It separates the person from the depression and makes it a temporary and removable thing/object. It's a good way to explore how we identify and process something.

I just have to comment that this podcast totally changed my life I come from parental abuse to a spouse abuse that took me 13 years to get out of and it just reassures me and helps my mind quiet itself knowing there’s a solution.

Someone who's had a life long battle with neurological issues from epilepsy, anxiety, to depression. I might have once disagreed with Caroline on her thoughts of depression, but as someone who's went to the brink of it through 5-6 miserable years, she's right. Depression did feel like a "illness." It was something that I couldn't shake off. A mixture of nutrition and mental awareness got me through (Kefir, fermented foods, methylated folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, upped protein, and a general multivitamin.) Now as someone who's no longer EXPERIENCING those symptoms, things became clear on what it was in retrospect. I had to do research, explore life, and go through years of therapy.
Practice mindfulness. Pay attention to your nutrition. Compare what you're not doing and objectively what a human body needs to be healthy, fill those nutritional and activity gaps. Your body needs exercise, nature, sunlight, human interaction, even when your mind doesn't feel like it. Often what your mind wants WILL BE at odds with what your body needs, sometimes even with reality itself if you don't keep yourself in check. Those feelings of
"I have no energy..." "My body hurts too much to leave bed." "No one understands why I CAN'T do it! It hurts too much/I feel sick/I feel too sad/my body hurts/there's no where to walk/I'm afraid of leaving my house/I'm afraid of socializing/society is too cruel to interact with" "Exercising sucks. I don't want to be hot/sweaty/uncomfortable" (although some of them were true) were excuses.
Baby steps. Find a way where you CAN do it. Start with the laziest, easiest, healthiest solutions, and build your habits off of that. Nutrition is REALLY REALLY important. Food effects your mood. If you follow any advice AT LEAST start with your vitamin levels. Those can raise your energy levels and mood just enough to get your foot in the door (to do the more difficult stuff like take a walk or go for a hike.)
If you're in the thick of your depression, and you feel like there's no way out, there is. Start your personal journey. Clean up your life. Don't allow society to box you in. Grow yourself. The sunk-cost fallacy will ruin your life. We're allowed to change ourselves on a whim. Swap paths. Swap degrees. Social circles and careers. Free yourself.
Truly excellent suggestions. As a Christian, I know there are many negative voices to destroy us. First, I gotta ARGUE with those thoughts which I believe AREN'T mine, SENT to prohibit growth.
Congratulations for success, regardless how much.
I love you too, I cry with pride and love mostly and when it was anything more than frustration when I denied my facets , I now accept all of me. I am really good. and thank you for the advice. there is an explanation for everything soon.

Thanks man. This really helped.
Remember, no amount of dwelling can change the past. No amount of anxiety can change the future.
I hear ya, but anxiety can certainly change the future by extremely affecting, limiting, and strengthening patterns that lead to many potential conditions.
anxiety is a useful tool, its a survival mechanism, everything in moderation
That's profoundly true.
never mind the past, what you do NOW can change the future greatly
@@Kevin291971 sometimes it takes that long to discover the REASON for your anxiety. i've suffered from anxiety for many yrs, was a therapist for many yrs and have actually found answers for my own issues after many yrs.
As a therapist, I appreciate this because I've had some colleagues recommend medication to someone that is homeless and depressed and I'm like "bruh, being homeless is depressing AF. Maybe we should help them find housing as a first step..." And I also love the message that it's about managing negative emotions not never having them.

Hi carol , I had stage 3 ovarian and secondary womb cancer 26 years ago , still here and very fit for 76 ,xxxxxx

I appreciate her perspectives on: as a society pathologize the things of the human condition, market pharmaceuticals, and therapy programs and counseling that gets you nowhere, as money making schemes. Her approach doesn't make money so Big Pharma doesn't like this as they support the Apartheid system of labels and diagnostics.
That's modern medicine which makes you believe you're not normal when in truth you simply react to the facts and truth around. Who's normal really?

I was diagnosed as bi-polar 40 years ago. I realize it was my thoughts about what I went through that was causing it. Took medication for all those years and didn’t even need it. It never helped but couldn’t get my doc to help me stop it. Finally weaned myself off it. I’m in a very good frame of mind now and I believe Jesus was the help I needed.
Beautiful testimony ..so needed in this day and age

Wow, I am blown away by her message and the work she has done. I used to have bad depression and battled it and went to south america to take ayahuasca and san pedro and it helped tremendously. Around that time I realized that I was not "ill" or "crazy", but that the depression and anxiety were messengers about my life. Once I met likeminded people that were having the same problems, because they didn't seem to fit in, I realized these were just symptoms for underlying problems. That view alone can help so much.

1. Gather the emotional, physical feeling, behaviour/action, perspective.
2. reflect(become detective, gather awareness and control). Meaning
3. Write- clusters of information
4. Action- do limited amount of time for 63 days. Mind healing needs 3 cycles of 21 days. With messy mind healing takes 60% more time.
Embrace and conceptualize the thoughts. Being aware of every 10 second-constant monitoring-self regulations. Brain building-mental and physical resilience-baby neurons responds to deep thinking-study deeply for an hour, anything challenges brain-improves neuroplasticity.

Thank you for the summary
I wonder if that means someone like me can be helped. I can’t remember much trauma when I was a child as I was a loved and a bit spoilt and over protected We did travel the world 🌎( army kid) a lot and I did so many different schools in so many different countries-I managed to have an average education Always remember feeling a bit disorientated with peoples different accents in the different countries ! Generally a happy child although quite sensitive - I was stunned and upset for days at 8years old when a women went to hospital to have a baby and a 👶 baby died. I can remember crying to my mum but I can’t remember her response.Although I’m sure she was she would’ve been understanding and tried to explain it. But the time I was 10 I was lying in bed (back in UK ) when the cat was out every single night I would lie in bed worrying that it would get killed when it was out but daytime I Arose and I was back happy again- Rebellious teenager time came I had a bit of trouble at school and although I wasn’t allowed to mix with boys I ended up with an older boyfriend I was 13 he was 19. I ended up having his baby at 17 and leaving him at 21 due to his continuous violence and he was violent even when I was a teenager. My friend can never understand why I wasn’t a spoiled brat as I always was sharing my things and was very considerate - I think I was trying to be the nice girl mum wanted - I had a sister 12-years older than me but it was obvious I was the favourite one. Anyway by then 21 I left with my child As managed to get away but I ended up with another guy who was emotionally abusive and alcoholic. I never see signs of this because I was so pleased to be away from the first marriage I had a son with husband no 2 Who was autistic maybe he was vaccination damage this started to think about all the vaccines that I had over the years because my main mind was always in a state of turmoil. My mother was always helping me and my kids with household chores and finance although they were on minimum wages .By that time I was working due to the alcoholic partner couldn’t keep a job and I was working in child residential care I learn about issues of attachment here.and then started to do an extra study my daughters boyfriend was able to help me with a written work for the first two years and my other friends from then on and I ended up with a degree in social work . I had the information but I could not put it into a coherent pattern so people could understand. After two relationships one was a mutual split up and the other one I was with a narcissistic type I have been in a job for 13 years. At this job my boss was very good at just playing to my strengths supporting people ideas creativity etc I had a strong urge to protect young people. When redundancy happened which was only three years ago I have already had three jobs and each time that confusion no I’m 62 is overwhelming, I have had a stroke when I was 59 but I have recovered well and I cannot say that My brain is any worse although it showed up on the scanner as I have brain damage. But how do they know that wasn’t done with the many blows to the head when I was with my first husband from 13 to 21? I have since been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia but I’m not convinced of these things but I cannot see where I’ve had a Adverse childhood trauma. Because before my violent relationship at a young age - i was already very easy lead very easily fooled was very impulsive and naughty. Although my mum would never admit it. Oh my God the things I have tried medication but very short lived, the Dore program Which cost me nearly £2000 and they kept telling me that I was better on their charts but I never felt I was getting any better on a day-to-day basis. Yoga -meditation and some Machine that I plugged into my head and listen to strange noises. I’ve always managed to make friends and keep them but I often play the one down position and never challenge if I think my friends are wrong about something or very rarely or if I do I think my words very very carefully because I don’t wanna upset anybody. Both my children have grown up and had problems but thank goodness they’ve worked through them and even my son who is autistic hold a job and my daughter who used to drink is now sober and she’s holding a position as a Counsellor and I’m proud of them both. I count my blessings because I know that some people never had any love to fall back on from the family but I still don’t understand why my brain is like my brain. I really enjoyed what this lady said today and I’m going to buy a book ASAP I have countless books and brains et cetera but I hope this one is going to be the one I also hope to get my brain in gear because I’m on a trial now for this job and I’m going to go and try medication just so that I may cope until I can do something else. The problem is I feel is that I never really know the root cause and if I knew the root cause I think that makes the treatment clearer. Sometimes I have believed I have a brain dysfunction and I’m ADHD And sometimes I just think I’ve got a lazy brain and it’s been lazy for years. I forgot to mention I’ve also been to Peru and Holland and tried psychedelics , Psychedelics are meant to open the Connections to the neurons in the brain un the brain-the Ayahuasca and the Mushrooms. I still believe in those in the sense that they could help but of course I’m in UK so that’s a no-no now. I am also doing psycho psychotropic breath work but as with meditation and yoga my brain 🧠 just wonders off and I don’t keep my focus. So I’m really hoping this book 📚 is going to help

We are often programmed by society to be in a perpetual state of stress. Understand you aren’t your emotions and detach from them🙌🏽
How do u detach from.your emotions. You are your emotions
@@EA-xd1jr we are not our emotions. We experience them, we choose to react to external circumstances through our perspectives that are ever changing. Most of our emotions have to do with our subconscious thoughts that have been programmed through our life experiences. You have to consciously choose your perspectives and rewrite your perspectives of past experience to control your emotions.
@@EA-xd1jr to me, I don't want to detach from my emotions, they guide me. If I detached from them, I'd be numb, like a rock surely?
I will happily detach myself from my thoughts...
My brain: NOPE I STILL HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT TOO....
@@Froglet1968 detaching does not mean not feeling and allowing them to guide you. It means not identifying them as who you are as a person. Like someone saying they are an angry person. That's identifying. That's not who you are, and if it is the dominant emotion, that means there is suppressed trauma that needs to be dealt with.
The amount of suffering chronic stress can cause is severely underestimated by most
Exactly
Well said🙏🏽 And perhaps it is being used as a form of control by a powerful minority in these times. Isolation is a form of torture. If we can free our minds we can transcend. Perhaps we have much to learn from the great freedom fighters of the past. One love 💗

Interesting video and thanks for the info to both Lewis and Caroline. I know what she says could help some people, HOWEVER the ULTIMATE HEALER is Jesus! Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!

How did you withdraw from Lithium?
@@jillwilson883 just quit cold turkey, it never mitigated my depression anyway, it only took away the very few days of mania when I actually have the energy to get productive and take care of important things I usually procrastinate on... When I follow my Paleo right, exercise and get good sleep I can go for long periods of time feeling generally good, I usually notice changes in my mood when I'm not doing these things properly and on top of that drinking alcohol, alcohol is a huge no no to bipolar disorder.
@@Noneyabusiness__foff Quitting cold turkey has not worked well for me. I did it on my own and ended up manic, hospitalized & now on more meds than I've ever been on. With the aid of a doctor, I became manic, hospitalized & medicated. I have a new doc that has said he would work with me, but if I became manic he would have to hospitalize me and put me back on meds. I now know that mania for some w/withdrawal is a symptom of your brain adjusting to not having the meds. It all seems complicated. I'm believing that God will make a way. My day to day on meds is not a good experience @ all.
@@jillwilson5326 maybe yours is a more severe case, my maniac episodes aren't dangerous for my overall wellbeing, like engaging in reckless behavior such as drinking and driving or other activities that could cause major damage to myself, all I get is a hit of dopamine which increase my motivation to get more productive, NGL, sometimes I can get obsessed with learning about a new subject, often learning strategies to cope with the deficient parts of my life for example, and getting hiper focused on learning about it, but that's about it, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Now, there are people with the same condition whom experience maniac episodes differently, often doing things they'll potentially regret shortly after, in those cases unfortunately they can't stop medication for their own safety, however, I've met many people with the same condition that did pretty good with the same copying mechanisms I've adopted, it all boils down to how you experience your maniac episodes and how long have you been taking your meds and which meds you were taking, lithium is a mood stabilizer not necessarily an antipsychotic, now if besides lithium you've been prescript antipsychotic meds as well then I'd take it easy, start doing the same things I mentioned above like diet, sleep and so on while slowly decreasing the doses of your meds every other month, if you've been on meds for two years or longer for example, it'll take at least a year to go totally off the meds safely by the decreasing doses process, but it's still worth trying. I wish you good luck!
Lewis is a very skilled interviewer. He understands that the best thing for an interviewer to do is to stay quiet and ask simple questions occasionally. You are very skilled-thanks for your greatness!

@@loveenergy4255 I don't know if you know of or watch Dr. Berg, but he put out a video of what happens to your body after you quit sugar after two weeks, and enhanced mood was one of the things he mentioned, so I can attest for this. Lots of things change for the better when one eliminates sugar.
@@3_1_3rd_gaming Yes! I love Dr. Berg! 👍 He gets that food is medicine, and is either giving us life or taking away from it.
Her info is life changing, so thank you. On a side note it is so refreshing to see someone doing something they love while helping people. Great show ☺
Interesting video and thanks for the info to both Lewis and Caroline. I know what she says could help some people, HOWEVER the ULTIMATE HEALER is Jesus! Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!
People tend to always forget to mention sugar as an addiction. It's one of the biggest addictions that people struggle with.
Totally! Want to end fatigue, fuzzy thinking, lack of concentration, poor memory, sluggishness, lack of ambition or drive, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, clear your vision and end your anxiety - cut out all sugar and processed foods that contain sugar. (that's the tricky part, a lot of food sellers sweeten their products to get you addicted and keep buying their products) Always check ingredients.
Or, just eating in general.
Along with caffeine and/or alcohol.
@@tedrygren8330 : its not about quantity...its about quality and balance even ( you can eat sugar, just dont overload it )
@@Nord72 Ok. U wanna see me jump off a bridge 🌉?? COMPLETELY take away my access to sugar 🍚!!
She offers such a beautiful, simple, relatable explanation of the mind. What a blessing to have her in our world especially during this time 😍🙏
This woman is amazing, she is going to change the world. She is going to turn the machine on its head...her discoveries are history in the making. I hope those of us hearing this, send protective energies around her and her family.
Yes , our world and all mankind needs her. Sending prayers and protection to her and her family 🙏🙏
I seriously doubt it. People are lazy and don't want or believes they are in control of their health. They can't be bothered to help themselves and go to their doctors for that magic pill or vaccine to fix them instead of doing something to help themselves.

A WOMAN CANNOT BE A COMPETENT NEUROSCIENTIST.
Thanks so much . I wrote in my journal today . “Thanks universe to put me this podcast today” . After years of abuse from my mothers , and ex boyfriend . I realized that all my negatives thoughts affect my lifestyle, my present , future , family and friends . I start to take care of my mind to change complete my life . Blessed
She's right, I used to think I'd always feel depressed and I surely did, but the day I changed my mind and stop telling myself that I relieved myself of suffering, I sometimes have days but instead of just sitting in it I try to figure it out and move on. Exercising helped me as well.
OMG yes. Self-work-I think it’s why we’re here. Like that one guy Ghandi said, “Be the change”. Running seriously helped me. Been running 10 years straight now. Helped Forrest Gump too.
This woman is precious to humankind. Her life has been dedicated to saving lives. Just watching this has changed my life, for the better. Thank you kindly ❤
This woman--Dr. Caroline Leaf--is a super amazing human being whose heart and dedication to her field and passion is really great. Her greatness is immeasurable with the amount of time and sweat she has contributed to help hundreds and thousands of not only patients but to all normal people who has some hidden abnormal behaviors. I truly learned a lot from this valuable conversation which I can use to understand and improve myself as well as my family esp. my children. Thank you also Lewis for your intelligent questions and for sharing your own trauma and experiences. You are both awesome!👏👏
Same!
She gets it so deeply I can feel it! Amazing!
"Only 3% of leaders are talking about mental health." Lewis, thank you so much for talking openly about your experience with sexual abuse and helping to remove the stigma associated with it.
Because it's become all about writing prescriptions and money. It's become a highly complacent field. Overdue for an overhaul!
So true 🙏
And this is how I got here. I couldn't reset my mood for today after meditating and reading a few books. My next step, science, psychology, something that will help me understand why I do the things I do. I shared this video within 20 minutes of listening. I have written more than 5 pages, while telling myself how great, smart, pretty valuable I am. Thank you so much for the love and support in helping us find ourselves. Sometimes it takes hearing rhe information in different sentiments to understand. It all makes sense.
Thank you!
You're welcome,thank you for being here 🧡
If we all followed our passion like this woman did, the world would be a much happier, healthier place. She blew my mind.
I love how you interview people Lewis. You seem genuinely interested in everyone who sits opposite you and you let them talk while providing great questions along the way.
I agree. He is a fantastic interviewer. Listens and is engaged.

Its helped me overnight. I'm not kidding. [ This podcast] You can only go 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water,3 minutes without oxygen but not even 3 minutes without thinking.

👍😍😍
Best interview ever. She sounds genuine. So much spiritual talk these days and here we have a scientist/doctor explaining it in common language. Every psychologist and psychiatrist should implement her techniques.
Is she really? I heard she just taught kids with brain impairment.
This is still spiritual the way she is talking she explains both the spiritual and the science behind it. In reality science is the exploration of things we know exist but can't prove until we do; The things unseen by the naked eye. There are those who would say they don't believe in souls. And you ask them why and they will say because i can't see it with my eyes or touch it with my hands and until i do i won't believe....okay.. But you are willing to believe in Atoms and Radioactive energy and can you see these things with your naked eyes.
No. But that's different. i know they exist.
Since most people aren't scientists and you are an average person like myself how do you know this personally? ...
Well i trust the understanding of a scientist who went to school. I mean they study the sciences and the things that we can't see.
Okay but once nobody understood that things existed either until it was discovered. And i say well you still can't see it with your own eyes so how can you believe what this science is showing you is accurate? Theories are disproved all the time I mean look at Aristotle some of the theories he built up were quite sound in his time and were later disproven by other great minds.
Okay yeah i see your point. Are you saying there are no absolutes?
No I'm saying that every day you use a combination of faith and science with how you think and your very mind itself is a spiritual thing. Hence is why i believe that we all have a soul. I mean look at the marvel of electricity. It has always been here and there and so sometimes it is not about what you can see or touch but what you can feel when you reach down to the very core of your being and you search for a knowledge that is as old as Time. There are truths we know on a primal or spiritual level. And this woman has given an insightful explanation of the force and power of our mind. But by explaining the difference between the mind and the brain, she explains that the mind is a separate entity a force of its own. This is our mind ourselves our true essence. Separate from our brain and not physical.
Sounds a lot like a soul to me.
She’s also is Spiritual. First time I heard of her she was talking in a church explaining the spiritual aspects of her works. She just explains it in a great way that anyone can understand
@@brelynspears754 It also has something to do with which brain a person is using at that "second": RIGHT:Spiritual/Creative/Intuitive/Spiral; LEFT: Scientific/Rational/Linear; REPTILIANBRAINSTEM:Instinctual/Connector; also, GUTMIND; HEARTMIND! Also, you can choose to perceive the world as a garbage dump, or as everything is SACRED. I choose the latter. We are Spiritual Souls having an experience in a physical body.
She's South African. Straightforward.
I have been on various medications for "bi-polar disorder" for 16 years. Through this podcast and Dr. Despenza I have learned so much. I had an episode this past year, was hospitalized and I am on 3 different drugs. I know that they have and are altering my brain. I feel horrible everyday, but are hard pressed to find a medical professional that will help me safely withdraw from the neurotoxins that I ingest daily. I feel until I'm free of the drugs neuroscience will not help. I have abruptly stopped in the past and it was disastrous. With the aid of a doctor I tried to withdraw but he withdraw too much too soon, another disaster. I want desperately to get my life back. I hope that someone can see this comment and help. In the meantime, I continue to pray, meditate, and force myself to exercise, and am learning how to eat properly. Thank you Lewis for all you do for us. Continued blessings.
Bless your heart!!! Please continue to talk about your desire to live a life free from pharmaceuticals because there are so many people who feel the same way. I have been taking antidepressants for decades!!! I am, as of 8 months, free from them and I would love to just help you to find a doctor who will assist you in titrating off of your medications. You are smart not to do that on your own and while I’m not a doctor, I do know that we can’t do this on our own so feel free to respond to this comment and maybe we can talk to see what your options are. Please keep talking about this, remain hopeful. You are not alone and you are so important. Thank you for your bravery!

4 kids, kind, stylish and a cutting edge Neuroscientist. What an amazing woman!
She has no neuroscience credentials. Her degrees are in speech therapy and educational psychology. I have a degree in mathematics, I am as qualified to call myself a "neuroscientist" as she is. Which is to say not at all.
This is incredibly inspiring. I've always believed that anxiety and depression are signals. Not an indication that something is wrong with YOU. Love this interview! Well done both
Indications are signals. What does depression signify/indicate?
SUP, I agree with you. As a 70 yo, male, retired now, I have suffered with Chronic Anxiety with occassional Panic / Anxiety Attacks. I have Spinal Issues that have surfaced over the many years, which were not innate, but developed after a Physical Trauma of a fractured right femur in 1966. It resulted ina 1 inch shorter leg which in turn wreaked havoc with my spine and "physical Infrastructure". This topic , this Doctor is fantastic, so energetic and knowledgeable and Insightful. You can plainly see How Excited sghe is explaining Neuroscience. That is the Science of the 21st Century. Amazing how she explains the Mental Traumas you may experience , no matter how minimal you initially think they are, affect your MIND and thus your Mind - Body Connection.
@@bootstrapperwilson7687 For me. Under the depression was unidentifed trauma from not knowing I had an ADHD brain, and the world being so hard. Also bad diet. Good Gut microbes are vital to good cognitive funciton.
Functional mushrooms (we need the anti-inflamatories for our brains, and the beta gloucons to allow neurogenisis to turn back to recover the lost brain cells), yoga, and unlimited self love and forgivness were my approxomate tools/plan.

My doctor said “you are depressed” when I arrived I was happy, when I left I was depressed with a handful of pills.. The power of suggestion.
My dermatologist
Oh yes the power suggestion our mind is crazy honey when I was inactive addiction and I didn't have my medication I would flip out but if I knew I was getting it or you know I mean I guess that's the placebo effect yeah it's bizarre
Psychological manipulation is another word for that too
My doctor tried that with me. I said no I'm not depressed. She wanted to give me pills. I said no. My energy is down. So something is going on. Checked my thyroid. Took meds no improvement. Went to naturopath
got better tests and natural meds. Felt way better in 1 month!
@@debraallsopp6530 you did the right thing. Glad you got better. After a week I stopped my medication, which made me so tired and guess what I was my usual self again.
The doctor took the easy way out. Give her some antidepressants. That’ll do. It shouldn’t be allowed to fob people of when they don’t know what’s wrong.
"Addiction is not a disease, it's a RESPONSE."
"Your MIND is more powerrful than your brain!"...... Lightbulb moment
That’s why people can be hypnotized into not being addicted to smoking,
This one statement was so liberating. I’m excited to get her book based on her refreshing perspective and genuine interest In helping people. So glad I found this!!

Perhaps true for many things but not alcoholism; there is physical addiction with most drugs and with alcohol. it is not 'just in your mind'. I worked with chemical dependent individuals for 15 yrs. and have my own issues.

I love what she says about forgiveness. Forgiving someone who has caused such trauma has always been hard for me to conceive. She says that what someone has done can never be forgiven. That wrongness is always there. What happen in that moment in time was wrong, but it's not our responsibility to make that person own it. They have to unpack that wrongness, what we have to do is be released from it. Starts around 1:19 for anyone interested.
Thanks for the time stamp🙏
the one who causes a trauma may have also been traumatised. Don´t forget that.
@@juttaschmieg342 it's always a choice to continue a cycle of abuse or addiction or break it. True empathy, understanding & conviction are the core of breaking the cycles. And it's difficult for most people to get into that state of mind most are too self consumed dealing with their own life and whatever justification drives them to continue abusing. It takes huge amounts of strength & bravery to get to the CORE of these very personal (hence societal issues) and change for the better once a person has gone down that path, but It can be done!! I know so many who haven't continued the generational cycle of abuse because they remembered how it felt to be beaten, raped, forced to use drugs by their parents or others they trusted and made a vow to NEVER make another feel as horrible as they felt. One person I know was 8 yrs old when he made that choice to never be like his father. And he had been tricked a number of times by his father to drink alcohol by the age of 5 yrs. old because his father thought it was funny to watch his little boy stumble & slur. This young boy never became an alcoholic like his father, never forced alcohol on his children or anyone else. He broke the cycle and he is one of so many unsung heroes in our world!
It's always an individual choice!!!!!
Thank you, I needed this today 🙏

When I worked as a counselor I found one of the most harmful things people did to themselves consisted of the untrue damaging self-talk they kept repeating to themselves about a situation or a person. The dialogue between counselor and client (even a child) and figuring out where that self talk came from is what frees them from what I would call "strong holds in the mind." I never thought of it as changing neurology. And yes, poor sleep habits and a processed foods diet will make you feel terrible and sorta crazy all by its self.
Counselor girl can you help ME OUT.
@@rahulmody8246
I can.
I started becoming aware of negative self talk after listening to Eckhart Tolle, but didn't realize the extent of it until I started monitoring my thoughts. Initially, I caught myself once in a while, then it became more frequent, often just after it happened and other times well into the monologue. With ongoing monitoring, I became aware of it sooner and more frequently, and finally was catching myself when it was starting. The act of conscious awareness diminished their frequency and dissolved the chatter. Today, couple of years later, I have very few negative thoughts and catch myself immediately as they arise and watch them dissolve. I suspect due to its cessation, I feel much better less stressed and anxious and the circular thinking just a faint and distant memory.
The most important lesson I've learned for those suffering from anxiety is the advice of an Australian doctor who was a victim herself and actually an early pioneer of CBT - cognitive behavior therapy. You don't need to spend time and money on therapy trying to uncover the causes of your trauma, just confront the fear and anxiety and start to accept it with submissive SURRENDER. The panic/anxiety attacks will diminish in frequency and potency sooner than SSRIs would kick in and leave you empowered. The woman was an angel and helped thousands of people in America with her radio shows from Australia. Her name is Claire Weekes and her audios are available free on YT and I recommend starting with => "Dr Claire Weekes - Pass through Panic". Her method works and it will help you for the rest of your life.

That way you may become Imago Viva Dei, while holding this meditation ! "
I feel moved to say halfway through this three course through the end actually When he expresses facing himself and talking about his trauma the body language in the feedback emotionally from this woman giving him that space after all the knowledge she just gave to us for free is a perfect combination of an individual who has done the hard work combined with very high intelligence self-awareness and deep empathy in my opinion a true healer that is what she is
She nailed it, my life is an example of struggling against mental illness stigma, and my greatness has been always knowing there’s no such thing as mental illness, but I couldn’t defend myself until I could prove it and dismantle it. She has given words to that proof.
Thanks to both of you.
This is freaking fascinating! As someone with both chronic pain issues and blood sugar issues, her mentioning that she witnessed her blood sugar skyrocket when under stress and then was able to bring her sugar down with her mind is very eye opening.

Thank you so much Lewis for your podcast and thank you Caroline Leaf for sharing your understanding. Your conversation is so important to so many people. Labelling unhappy people and putting them on long term medication is doing so much damage to so many unfortunate, misunderstood people who do not have the knowledge to do the inner work they need to rise above these traumatic experiences and evolve into healthy, happy people. We also have a spirit, not just a mind and a brain. There are many roads that lead to healing but accepting a psychiatric label (mental illness) and medicine is not one of them! Yes, temporary medication and help but not a lifetime sentence, please. We are here to learn and evolve.

I love this woman!!! ❤️ I've been suffering from depression recently and am sick of people calling me bipolar etc. I stubbornly reply I'm having a natural reaction to a horrible sequence of circumstances. Thanks for validating this Mrs Leaf! Just hearing that someone believes you're not crazy makes you feel a LOT better. This world needs more intelligent, caring and driven doctors like her.
Get her book and try her system. Hundreds have benefited.
Bipolar is just a term used to turn people into drones. It is normal for people to exhibit different emotions.
@@elenarogers5311 unfortunately one of my circumstances is extreme financial hardship....otherwise I would.
“The only way to get control is to embrace, to process and to re-conceptualise”, amazing!
Deep and wonderful explanation on how our mind works. Thank you for this interview with Dr. Leaf.
To embrace and process i get, what os to reconceptualize
I also need to add that the value in this interview is immense. This needs to be seen everywhere. I am with this woman on everything she says regarding not labelling anyone as sick who experiences mental health issues. It’s not and never has been an illness. Nobody is broken. It’s all management. Dr Caroline you are now my hero.
So happy you are enjoying the content. I would love for you to subscribe and leave me a review here:

This was mine blowing for me. For some reason I have never heard of DR Leaf. I think we've all experienced horrible trauma in our life and to know there's a solution. Thank you Louis for sharing this incredible video.
I adjusted the playback speed to slow it down to better understand her message. She has an amazing message !
@@pimheron you are very welcome. I talk fast however this physician talks much faster than I could listen😋😋💕🇺🇸
Thank you; I didn't even know you could do this so I just googled it to see how; so simple once you know.
How does one do that. Can you please tell me how to slow down the speed?
@@pimheron, it worked, thank you so much!
My granddaughter gave me an orchid 2 years ago , the first I've ever had, it started to bud and flower last year and I've never felt such delight over something so trivial but it brought me so much happiness 💖 so I'm so excited this year im keeping a close eye on it 🧐🙏
❣️🌺💞🙌✌️🐞🦋🥰
I loved this talk. Thank you! She is amazing and appreciated her lessons. And I appreciate your openness too Lewis. I have been through a lot of trauma in my lifetime. I have had every diagnosis under the sun. In the last year I have gotten a handle on my emotions with the help of your podcasts, and several others. I work on myself everyday. It's a absolute new beginning for me. I am 66 yrs young. And I did add her book to my library.
Thank you again.
So happy to hear my content was helpful for you! Grateful you're here. 🧡
This is something that should be thought in school definitely life changing no more drugs or labels great
Thanks Lewis for being such a curious interviewer, great content always. You don't know how much this has helped me in my situation. I suffer from brain trauma and since 2 years I have been running to neurologists, psychiatrists and therapists...all I ever needed was not medication but to hear this content.
I can't thank you enough and I ordered the book from Dr leaf as well to know what more she has to say...
You're welcome,thank you for being here 💜
Your mind is incredibly powerful. Your biggest obstacle is letting go of doubts & excuses to believe you're in control. Overcoming challenges can be your greatest gift. If you really want to improve, be determined & you'll find a way. Commit to consistent practice of Dr Leaf's protocols & you can accomplish your desires. Do your best to ignore anyone telling you to accept your condition. They usually have good intentions but as Dr Leaf explains, you're in charge of creating your reality. It's helpful to visualize your intended results & imagine your experience as if they're already done. Wishing you abundant Blessings!
I've been following Dr. Leaf for a few years now, and her research is incredible. And her passion for getting her message out that we each have so much more control than any of us realize over "how" we experience life, and how we choose to respond to the circumstances around us. We can't always control our environment (case in point --> the Covid pandemic), however, we CAN choose how we respond to everything happening around us.
Whether we are angry, sad, bitter, happy, content, glass half-empty or glass half-full.......however we each decide to "think" or feel about a given situation....that is completely our choice. And the person most affected by that choice is ourselves.
If we choose to be bitter or angry, then our brains become that toxic, dead tree she held up during this video. However, when we choose to make the best of a given situation, then we produce more of that green tree visual she gave us.
Either way, our "choice" to feel good/bad/angry/sad/depressed/angry, etc....is just that. It's our personal "choice." No one can make you feel anything. You alone decide how you feel. One way leads to a longer life; the other to a shorter one.
So, @arsh...with your brain trauma, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY encourage you to study more of Dr. Caroline Leaf's content. Pick up her book, "Cleaning Up the Mental Mess", and learn how to go through the "Neurocycles" she teaches, and it will help you to start healing more quickly.
My son (now 20 yr old, has had multiple TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) in his life so far, and I have sincere empathy for you with what you are going through now.

Take a look at some of Dr. Leaf's brain injury patients that she's worked with over the past 2-30 years. I can almost guarantee you that if you implement her strategies for rewiring your brain, and retraining your mind, you will heal faster, and go further than probably all the medical professionals you worked with combined.
Best of luck to you, and hopefully, and quite literally, wishing you a speedy and full recovery. :)
@@dnllmaurer1 Beautifully said!!
How is it going ? Blessings from Danmark 😊🌼
This is a game-changer. I think the most important take-away from this was at 48 minutes. Paraphrasing: Don't be afraid of your bad feelings and experiences. They are only messengers telling you something. If you respond to them as such, you control them. If you respond with fear, they control you, and then you'll get stuck.
Many things mentioned here I have either thought about or done instinctively, but telling others about my advances they have told me I'm crazy. They say there is nothing one can do by oneself to feel better. Conclusion of this talk: it's not just possible to learn how to feel better by oneself, it's the bl**d* responsibility for everyone in order to make this thing we call Earth a better place.
Amen! We all have to be accountable of the choices we make as adults and be better, but not kill ourselves over circumstances out of our control. We all have the responsibility to be better if we want a better world.
The " Inner Engineering " course of Sadhguru helped me enormously, and what Caroline Leaf is saying is very connected to this. A lovely surprise.
We have been so immersed in the need to have a reason/excuse/valid problems; and many of us are terrified that we will lose the help (especially financial) we have been given so we can survive and function with our 'disability' what if we can't make it without this help, if we actually make improvements. We have been taught--or willingly accepted that we are damaged, defective and are victims. Who benefits from our dismissing or believing that we can not be much more capable than we currently are long term we individually do not benefit. Boy I appreciate this show and the many people you present to learn from and make new choices about our lives and well-being and human potential!!! Thank you all so much.
You're welcome🧡
