Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess with Dr. Caroline Leaf

In this episode, Dr. Stephanie interviews Dr. Caroline Leaf, a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a specialization in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. They chat about the distinction between your brain and your mind, why the identity we often give ourselves isn’t permanent, and how we can change it. They talk about the different brain waves and how they drive our thoughts, how to take control of catastrophizing thoughts, and how we can begin to create a new identity by thinking, feeling, and choosing to create new thought patterns. You’ll learn about the five stages of the neurocycle, how to shift from identifying with your thoughts to observing them, and how to think better thoughts.
