    Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and Ph.D. in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s, she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.
    During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing Theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementia and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their minds to detox and grow their brains to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace.
    Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of Switch on Your Brain, Think Learn Succeed, Think and Eat Yourself Smart, and many more. works She teaches at academic, medical, and neuroscience conferences, churches, and to various audiences around the world. Dr. Leaf is also involved in the global ECHO movement, which trains physicians worldwide on the mind-brain-body connection, mental health, and how to avoid physician burnout.
    Dr. Leaf is currently conducting clinical trials using the 5-step program she developed while in private practice to further demonstrate the effectiveness of mind-directed techniques to help relieve mental ill-health problems such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts. The primary aim of these trials is to make mental health care more affordable, applicable, and accessible worldwide, and to reduce the stigma around mental health. It was truly an honor to have her on The School of Greatness podcast!

    As a therapist, I appreciate this because I've had some colleagues recommend medication to someone that is homeless and depressed and I'm like "bruh, being homeless is depressing AF. Maybe we should help them find housing as a first step..." And I also love the message that it's about managing negative emotions not never having them.

    Language is so important. In the English language, we say 'I AM depressed'. The sentence is structured to personally identify as depression. It is who we are. But, in the Irish language, for example, translated they say 'I have a depression ON me'. It separates the person from the depression and makes it a temporary and removable thing/object. It's a good way to explore how we identify and process something.

    Wow, I am blown away by her message and the work she has done. I used to have bad depression and battled it and went to south america to take ayahuasca and san pedro and it helped tremendously. Around that time I realized that I was not "ill" or "crazy", but that the depression and anxiety were messengers about my life. Once I met likeminded people that were having the same problems, because they didn't seem to fit in, I realized these were just symptoms for underlying problems. That view alone can help so much.

    Someone who's had a life long battle with neurological issues from epilepsy, anxiety, to depression. I might have once disagreed with Caroline on her thoughts of depression, but as someone who's went to the brink of it through 5-6 miserable years, she's right. Depression did feel like a "illness." It was something that I couldn't shake off. A mixture of nutrition and mental awareness got me through (Kefir, fermented foods, methylated folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, upped protein, and a general multivitamin.) Now as someone who's no longer EXPERIENCING those symptoms, things became clear on what it was in retrospect. I had to do research, explore life, and go through years of therapy.
    Practice mindfulness. Pay attention to your nutrition. Compare what you're not doing and objectively what a human body needs to be healthy, fill those nutritional and activity gaps. Your body needs exercise, nature, sunlight, human interaction, even when your mind doesn't feel like it. Often what your mind wants WILL BE at odds with what your body needs, sometimes even with reality itself if you don't keep yourself in check. Those feelings of
    "I have no energy..." "My body hurts too much to leave bed." "No one understands why I CAN'T do it! It hurts too much/I feel sick/I feel too sad/my body hurts/there's no where to walk/I'm afraid of leaving my house/I'm afraid of socializing/society is too cruel to interact with" "Exercising sucks. I don't want to be hot/sweaty/uncomfortable" (although some of them were true) were excuses.
    Baby steps. Find a way where you CAN do it. Start with the laziest, easiest, healthiest solutions, and build your habits off of that. Nutrition is REALLY REALLY important. Food effects your mood. If you follow any advice AT LEAST start with your vitamin levels. Those can raise your energy levels and mood just enough to get your foot in the door (to do the more difficult stuff like take a walk or go for a hike.)
    If you're in the thick of your depression, and you feel like there's no way out, there is. Start your personal journey. Clean up your life. Don't allow society to box you in. Grow yourself. The sunk-cost fallacy will ruin your life. We're allowed to change ourselves on a whim. Swap paths. Swap degrees. Social circles and careers. Free yourself.

    I stopped talking for three years once. It was something that happened. I didn't plan on this, but I won't spend time on the how or why of it right now but want to share what happened instead.
    At first, I noticed how many thoughts I had, and how much my mind ruminated.
    Over time the thoughts played themselves out and stopped altogether until one day when my daughter told, her brother that she was going to stop talking to mom because her only response is an occasional grunt.
    This is what made me come out of silence but soon realized I'd forgotten language.
    I struggled to put sentences together. The most amazing part of this experience was that I became very psychic, and knew things I shouldn't know. There are lots of examples I could share, but here's a quick one.
    My daughter and I were in the yard. I looked at her while pointing at a huge tree. I pulled her back about a yard. I knew the tree was going to fall. We stepped back a few feet and the tree fell with its tip landing right in front of our feet. Overall, this was a positive life-changing experience that changed my life forever. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on how the brain responds to long term silence.

Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!

      @@jillwilson5326 maybe yours is a more severe case, my maniac episodes aren't dangerous for my overall wellbeing, like engaging in reckless behavior such as drinking and driving or other activities that could cause major damage to myself, all I get is a hit of dopamine which increase my motivation to get more productive, NGL, sometimes I can get obsessed with learning about a new subject, often learning strategies to cope with the deficient parts of my life for example, and getting hiper focused on learning about it, but that's about it, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Now, there are people with the same condition whom experience maniac episodes differently, often doing things they'll potentially regret shortly after, in those cases unfortunately they can't stop medication for their own safety, however, I've met many people with the same condition that did pretty good with the same copying mechanisms I've adopted, it all boils down to how you experience your maniac episodes and how long have you been taking your meds and which meds you were taking, lithium is a mood stabilizer not necessarily an antipsychotic, now if besides lithium you've been prescript antipsychotic meds as well then I'd take it easy, start doing the same things I mentioned above like diet, sleep and so on while slowly decreasing the doses of your meds every other month, if you've been on meds for two years or longer for example, it'll take at least a year to go totally off the meds safely by the decreasing doses process, but it's still worth trying.

I had an episode this past year, was hospitalized and I am on 3 different drugs. I know that they have and are altering my brain. I feel horrible everyday, but are hard pressed to find a medical professional that will help me safely withdraw from the neurotoxins that I ingest daily. I feel until I'm free of the drugs neuroscience will not help. I have abruptly stopped in the past and it was disastrous. With the aid of a doctor I tried to withdraw but he withdraw too much too soon, another disaster. I want desperately to get my life back. I hope that someone can see this comment and help.

      I wonder if that means someone like me can be helped. I can’t remember much trauma when I was a child as I was a loved and a bit spoilt and over protected We did travel the world 🌎( army kid) a lot and I did so many different schools in so many different countries-I managed to have an average education Always remember feeling a bit disorientated with peoples different accents in the different countries ! Generally a happy child although quite sensitive - I was stunned and upset for days at 8years old when a women went to hospital to have a baby and a 👶 baby died. I can remember crying to my mum but I can’t remember her response.Although I’m sure she was she would’ve been understanding and tried to explain it. But the time I was 10 I was lying in bed (back in UK ) when the cat was out every single night I would lie in bed worrying that it would get killed when it was out but daytime I Arose and I was back happy again- Rebellious teenager time came I had a bit of trouble at school and although I wasn’t allowed to mix with boys I ended up with an older boyfriend I was 13 he was 19. I ended up having his baby at 17 and leaving him at 21 due to his continuous violence and he was violent even when I was a teenager. My friend can never understand why I wasn’t a spoiled brat as I always was sharing my things and was very considerate - I think I was trying to be the nice girl mum wanted - I had a sister 12-years older than me but it was obvious I was the favourite one. Anyway by then 21 I left with my child As managed to get away but I ended up with another guy who was emotionally abusive and alcoholic. I never see signs of this because I was so pleased to be away from the first marriage I had a son with husband no 2 Who was autistic maybe he was vaccination damage this started to think about all the vaccines that I had over the years because my main mind was always in a state of turmoil. My mother was always helping me and my kids with household chores and finance although they were on minimum wages .By that time I was working due to the alcoholic partner couldn’t keep a job and I was working in child residential care I learn about issues of attachment here.and then started to do an extra study my daughters boyfriend was able to help me with a written work for the first two years and my other friends from then on and I ended up with a degree in social work . I had the information but I could not put it into a coherent pattern so people could understand. After two relationships one was a mutual split up and the other one I was with a narcissistic type I have been in a job for 13 years. At this job my boss was very good at just playing to my strengths supporting people ideas creativity etc I had a strong urge to protect young people. When redundancy happened which was only three years ago I have already had three jobs and each time that confusion no I’m 62 is overwhelming, I have had a stroke when I was 59 but I have recovered well and I cannot say that My brain is any worse although it showed up on the scanner as I have brain damage. But how do they know that wasn’t done with the many blows to the head when I was with my first husband from 13 to 21? I have since been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia but I’m not convinced of these things but I cannot see where I’ve had a Adverse childhood trauma. Because before my violent relationship at a young age - i was already very easy lead very easily fooled was very impulsive and naughty. Although my mum would never admit it. Oh my God the things I have tried medication but very short lived, the Dore program Which cost me nearly £2000 and they kept telling me that I was better on their charts but I never felt I was getting any better on a day-to-day basis. Yoga -meditation and some Machine that I plugged into my head and listen to strange noises. I’ve always managed to make friends and keep them but I often play the one down position and never challenge if I think my friends are wrong about something or very rarely or if I do I think my words very very carefully because I don’t wanna upset anybody. Both my children have grown up and had problems but thank goodness they’ve worked through them and even my son who is autistic hold a job and my daughter who used to drink is now sober and she’s holding a position as a Counsellor and I’m proud of them both. I count my blessings because I know that some people never had any love to fall back on from the family but I still don’t understand why my brain is like my brain. I really enjoyed what this lady said today and I’m going to buy a book ASAP I have countless books and brains et cetera but I hope this one is going to be the one I also hope to get my brain in gear because I’m on a trial now for this job and I’m going to go and try medication just so that I may cope until I can do something else. The problem is I feel is that I never really know the root cause and if I knew the root cause I think that makes the treatment clearer. Sometimes I have believed I have a brain dysfunction and I’m ADHD And sometimes I just think I’ve got a lazy brain and it’s been lazy for years. I forgot to mention I’ve also been to Peru and Holland and tried psychedelics , Psychedelics are meant to open the Connections to the neurons in the brain un the brain-the Ayahuasca and the Mushrooms. I still believe in those in the sense that they could help but of course I’m in UK so that’s a no-no now. I am also doing psycho psychotropic breath work but as with meditation and yoga my brain 🧠 just wonders off and I don’t keep my focus. So I’m really hoping this book 📚 is going to help

Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!

      Interesting video and thanks for the info to both Lewis and Caroline. I know what she says could help some people, HOWEVER the ULTIMATE HEALER is Jesus! Watch the movie "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". This is part two of the original "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie which is the autobiography of Louis Zamperini. He's not the only one who has been saved after being through hell and getting PTSD. But you must be open minded, have faith and do what is required, getting into a spiritual relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. He can give you peace joy happiness etc. like nothing else on earth can and you will be fulfilled. He can give you the fulfillment nothing else on earth can give which we try to find it in but can't because God is the missing piece to the question of who we really are. God bless!

    Simply put: Your soul is your mind, will and emotions. It uses your bodies senses to create good or bad feelings and instantly turns them into thoughts. It then stores those thoughts as memories in your brain that can be accessed immediately or later. When you decide to do something like move or speak your soul uses your heart to interpret those stored thoughts for the situation you are about to enter into and then you say or do what you decide, whether good or bad from your hearts perspective.

    I love what she says about forgiveness. Forgiving someone who has caused such trauma has always been hard for me to conceive. She says that what someone has done can never be forgiven. That wrongness is always there. What happen in that moment in time was wrong, but it's not our responsibility to make that person own it. They have to unpack that wrongness, what we have to do is be released from it. Starts around 1:19 for anyone interested.

      @@juttaschmieg342 it's always a choice to continue a cycle of abuse or addiction or break it. True empathy, understanding & conviction are the core of breaking the cycles. And it's difficult for most people to get into that state of mind most are too self consumed dealing with their own life and whatever justification drives them to continue abusing. It takes huge amounts of strength & bravery to get to the CORE of these very personal (hence societal issues) and change for the better once a person has gone down that path, but It can be done!! I know so many who haven't continued the generational cycle of abuse because they remembered how it felt to be beaten, raped, forced to use drugs by their parents or others they trusted and made a vow to NEVER make another feel as horrible as they felt. One person I know was 8 yrs old when he made that choice to never be like his father. And he had been tricked a number of times by his father to drink alcohol by the age of 5 yrs. old because his father thought it was funny to watch his little boy stumble & slur. This young boy never became an alcoholic like his father, never forced alcohol on his children or anyone else. He broke the cycle and he is one of so many unsung heroes in our world!
      It's always an individual choice!!!!!
