You Are Not Your Diagnosis (Or Your Bullsh*t Self-Talk) | Dr. Paul Conti - 893

Dr. Paul Conti is back, and we are getting stuck into the real head stuff. Ever feel like life’s charging ahead while your brain’s still trying to process what the hell just happened? Same. Dr. Conti reckons trauma, identity, and mental health all play a bigger role in that than we realise... And given he's one of the leading experts in trauma and mental health, I'm all ears! We chat about how trauma sneaks in and shapes our thinking, and why so many of us get stuck in identities that don’t even fit us anymore. Turns out, mental health isn’t just about slapping a label on yourself and calling it a day - it’s about actually understanding how your mind works and taking charge of the narrative. We also dive into self-talk (spoiler: yours might be more brutal than you think), why sarcasm and self-deprecating humor can be a sneaky form of self-sabotage, and how changing up your environment can shift your entire perspective.  If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head, trapped in old stories, or just unsure how to shift gears, this one’s for you.   SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: testartfamilylawyers.com.au DR.
