Externalization is a concept from narrative therapy that helps you separate yourself from your problems. Instead of saying “I am anxious,” you say “Anxiety is visiting me.” This subtle shift can help you approach challenges with more clarity and less self-judgment. 💬 What We Talked About In this heartfelt and practical conversation, we covered: How to handle anger, worry, and emotional fatigue Simple mood boosters for Sunday afternoons The impact of social media on our mental health Why men should talk about their problems The meaning of self-acceptance and how to practice it We even shared personal stories — including a poem written about problems and a special gift for an incredible wife — that illustrate how externalization can transform your emotional landscape. 🔸▪️▫️🔹🔸▪️▫️🔹🔸▪️▫️🔹🔸▪️▫️🔹 // ABOUT MY GUEST A very good friend of mine, Dr. Zohaib Rana, is a Scientist who loves reading and adding meaning to his life, whether it is through the music he produces or the challenging topics he talks about. 🍉 Wanna check out his experience with being on a vegan diet?
