LLN Episode #150: Jason Shiers – Delving Into Who We Are Beyond the Story & Beliefs We've Written For Ourselves

About Jason Shiers: Jason Shiers is a Certified Psychotherapist and Certified Transformative Coach who has been working with addictions and mental health for over 25 years. He has a personal story of addiction and mental health struggles spanning four decades from both sides of the fence of being a service user and a professional. Jason was first diagnosed and medicated at 9 years old and then a long battle with addictions and mental health commenced through to developing his own treatment program that is groundbreaking in its approach to mental health and addiction.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Jason vulnerably shares his compelling personal journey of tragedy, crime, and drug addiction, and more to his own research into how he could have fullness and joy in his life, which ultimately led him to his own understanding of the source of our mental health - beyond the concepts of traditional conditioning. Addiction, in its simplest form, what is it and why does it make complete sense. What is between the outside world. Objects, people, places, things and our feelings about it.

Can the winter months really affect our moods - we always hear oh I love the sunshine I feel better etc.   Connect with Jason Shiers:  Website:  https://www.wideworldcoaching.com Podcast: https://www.misunderstandingsofthemind.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-shiers-79170991/   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized & Healthy Women's Club.
