An Honest Conversation of Self-Awareness and Embracing Change - Dr. Mersedeh Cartwright

Dr. Mersedeh Cartwright has a doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, Master's in Professional Counseling, and a mother.The core message emphasizes that while you can't control life or other people, you can control yourself through self-awareness, cognitive flexibility, and replacing "should" statements with conscious choices about what you actually want. Key topics include understanding anxiety as not inherently negative, how unresolved emotions accumulate over time, the importance of dating yourself before seeking relationships, using grounding techniques to stay present, and recognizing that healing requires accountability and doing the work rather than seeking quick fixes. Change is possible through building positive experiences, embracing both logic and emotion rather than treating them as opposites, and learning to bend (cognitive flexibility) rather than break (rigid thinking).________________Website: https://www.substratum611.comShop Substratum 611: https://shop.substratum611.comSocial Media Links: https://www.substratum611.com/social-media-linksThis video is for entertainment purposes only.The focus is gaining clarity over agreement on different perspectives of various topics, with an emphasis on Continuous Improvement over Delayed Perfection.The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily represent the perspectives of Substratum 611, any affiliated third parties, or the personal/professional affiliations of the speakers.
