Dr Paul Conti on Taking Back Control of Your Mind

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Paul Conti, a world-renowned psychiatrist and graduate of Stanford and Harvard, who is widely recognized as one of the most insightful voices in modern mental health. Dr. Conti joins us to challenge the way we pathologise our minds, moving the focus away from "what’s broken" and toward the "human birthright" of what is actually going right. He shares how we can shift from feeling disempowered by labels to feeling truly empowered through what he calls compassionate curiosity.We also dive into his highly anticipated upcoming book, The Architecture of Self, which provides a definitive map of the structure and function of the human mind. Dr. Conti explains how balancing our internal drives - assertion, pleasure, and the all-important generative drive - allows us to change our internal narratives and physically transform our reality. It’s a masterclass in reclaiming your identity and building a life grounded in agency and health.Pre order Paul's book: https://amzn.eu/d/06VI4hKaStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodYouTube: youtube.com/@hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
