180: You're Not Your Thoughts - Unstuck with Jay Abbasi |...

What this episode covers

What if every thought you believed... wasn't true? Meet Zayd. He's a successful attorney, but lately success feels more like survival. Long hours, constant pressure, and one piece of critical feedback can consume his mind for days. Even when he's home with his wife and four children, he's mentally somewhere else. He wants to stop overthinking, reconnect with his work, and finally be present for the people who matter most. Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Gregory T. Obert, licensed psychologist, therapist, and podcast host. Together, they explore why high achievers often become trapped by their own thoughts, how mindfulness can interrupt destructive patterns, and practical strategies to reduce stress, improve decision-making, and prevent burnout. Notable Quotes "It's paying attention on purpose to the present moment, non-judgmentally." — Dr. Gregory T. Obert "Just shoving your emotions down isn't going to make them go away." — Dr. Gregory T.
