Podcast 428: The Pros & Cons of Mental Health Labels

Download my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.app  SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about why we need to change the way we think about mental health. This podcast is part 8 of my series on the different parts of the mind and brain. As mentioned in my previous podcasts on this topic, The Difference Between the Nonconscious, Subconscious & Conscious Mind (part 1), How to Tap Into the Nonconscious Mind to Unwire Trauma & Toxic Thinking Habits (part 2), How to Listen to & Learn from Your Mental & Physical Warning Signals (part 3), The Difference Between Thoughts & Memories (part 4), What is the Mind? (part 5), How to Make Intrusive Thoughts Work for You, Not Against You(part 6), and Neuroplasticity: What It Is & How to Harness Its Power for Your Benefit (part 7), when you consciously engage the nonconscious mind through deliberate, intentional, strategic, and proactive deep thinking, you draw your thoughts, with their embedded memories, through the subconscious mind and into the conscious mind. When these thoughts arrive in the conscious mind, they’re in a malleable state, which means you can change them and reconceptualize them—you can change the way they impact your life.  Sign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf  Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-pros-cons-of-mental-health-labels  OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:   -NOOM: Sign up for your trial at noom.com/DRLEAF  -ZocDoc: Go to Zocdoc.com/LEAF and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
