We have all experienced shame before: the feeling that we are not enough, or that we do not live up to certain standards or ideals. But what happens when this shame spirals out of control? What happens when it overtakes our life, and affects the way we think and behave?In this week’s podcast I speak with Megan Bruneau, a psychologist and registered counselor who specializes in crisis support, compassion-based therapy and executive coaching, about the problem of shame, learning how to love yourself despite your imperfections, how to help someone with an eating disorder, the danger of medicalizing normal human emotions and why positive affirmations often fail. Megan has been featured on national television programs like Good Morning America and The T.D. Jakes Show) and is a regular contributor to Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen and Forbes. Using both her personal and professional experience, her goal is to teach people to face and learn to live with their imperfections and be kinder to themselves. As Megan says, we are all a journey, and we are all worthy of being loved, and there is room for both joy and sorrow in life. You don’t have to wait till you feel happy or look a certain way or have a particular life or succeed at something to feel like you belong and that you matter, because you are worthy, right here, right now. Megan’s website: https://meganbruneau.comFollow Megan on social media: https://www.instagram.com/meganjbruneau/https://www.facebook.com/meganbruneaumahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5EC_tOiVRKk3ftpqTdviuw Podcast Time Highlights:3:00 Megan’s background and her personal battle with perfectionism and shame5:30 Why positive affirmations don’t work10:18 Why the happiness industry is dangerous12:43 Why we need to deal with difficult emotions20:00 What are some of the major issues we face today?25:00 How to heal eating disorders54:45 The importance of self-compassion and purpose  For additional resources to help you on your mental health healing journey:Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.app Register now for my 2020 Mental Health Summit Dec 3-5 in Dallas, TX!

In this podcast I talk to Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede about how certain diets can affect our mental wellbeing, what foods help the brain function best, and what foods to avoid if we want to heal and improve our mental and physical health. Dr. Ede, in both her personal life and practice, has found that making certain lifestyle modifications can help treat major mental health issues such as ADHD, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Through her research, she has found that nutrition can help heal and restore brain function, empowering people to take back control over their mental state and their lives, without the stigma and negative side-effects so common to pharmacological treatments for mental distress.For more on Dr. Ede visit: https://www.diagnosisdiet.com Highlights from this episode:4:13-How Dr. Ede changed the way she treated mental health5:53-How nutrition affects mental health8:16-What is mental ill-health, and how can food help?9:00-Food myths, and the best way to eat for a healthy body and mind18:35-Is there one diet that works for everyone?24:00-How nutrition has changed her patients’ lives31:32-The biggest obstacles to nutrition and mental health43:00-Health and wellness trends to be careful of44:00-What we need to know about going plant-based49:40-How to do keto correctly For additional resources to help you on your mental health healing journey:Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.app Register now for my 2020 Mental Health Summit Dec 3-5 in Dallas, TX!

Addiction is something many of us have experienced, whether we ourselves have battled with addiction, guilt and shame, or we know a loved one, friend or family member who is dealing with addiction. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 19.7 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2017 alone! When it comes to addiction, whether we are talking about addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, sex and so on, people are often faced with conflicting messages: they are damaged goods with little or no hope of overcoming their addiction, or it is all their fault and they are just “bad apples”.Yet reality is far more complicated, and, thankfully, far more hopeful: it is possible to take responsibility for our lives while recognizing and dealing with the negative consequences addiction. In this week’s podcast I speak about addiction and how it is possible to overcome it with Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. who is a nationally recognized expert on mental health, addiction, relationships and shame. We discuss his unconventional but effective method, how he struggled with addiction (which ended up with him in prison!), how to help someone who is struggling with addiction, and why abstinence is ineffective in addiction recovery.For more information on Dr. Adi and his courses, book, and podcast visit: https://www.adijaffe.com/bio Find him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter: @dradijaffeIGNTD Hero Program: https://www.igntdrecovery.com/transforming-addiction-full Get his book The Abstinence Myth for free here: https://www.theabstinencemyth.com/ Additional reading: https://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/health/jaffe-addiction-myths/index.html Additional resources:Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.app Visit my website at www.drleaf.com for more resources, tips, and tools to help you improve and heal your mental health!

Brown is a sought-after presenter, panelist, and trainer with over two decades of experience in the legal and leadership arenas. From a young age, growing up in a marginalized community, she saw first-hand the challenges and obstacles that those with similar backgrounds encountered in society. She came to the realization that in order to change the outcome, one had to have a place and a voice at the table.Upon graduating from law school, Judge Brown served as a public defender fighting for all those who did not traditionally have a voice—the low income, the immigrant, those suffering from mental health challenges, anyone who did not have access to their constitutional right of appropriate representation. She argued several high-profile cases that were noted in the media and written about in local and regional publications. In 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown appointed Shelyna V. Brown to the bench in Santa Clara County.Judge Brown has served on several boards and has been recognized for her excellence in advocacy and praised for her contributions to the community. She was awarded numerous honors and accolades, including Excellence in Advocacy from the 100 Black Women of Silicon Valley, the Ivy Rose Foundation named her the first recipient of the Distinguished Women of Silicon Valley Awards, and the Silicon Valley Business Journal listed her as one of the 100 Women of Influence. Judge Brown was honored by the Silicon Valley NAACP with the Wester Sweet Award for Legal Activism, she is the most recent recipient of the Santa Clara Law School Social Justice and Human Rights Award, and she received a Congressional Commendation from Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren.From nonprofits to universities to global corporations including Stanfo Hosted on Acast.
