We are all ordinary people capable of extraordinary things.
Ever wondered how someone can find hope when everything seems impossible? Matthew Dickson's story might just give you the answer. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Matthew, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia shortly after bicycling across Canada at the age of 20. Despite the daunting diagnosis, Matthew discovered an inner strength he never knew he had, and his journey to recovery is nothing short of inspiring.
Now, he dedicates his life to helping others with mental illness in developing countries through his platform, Mind Aid. Matthew shares how changing thought patterns and self-talk played a crucial role in his recovery. He talks about the power of visualization exercises—something even Olympic athletes swear by—and how these techniques helped him stay on track.
But it's not just about personal growth; Matthew also touches on broader issues like poverty and climate change, emphasizing the importance of taking small actions to make a big difference. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and practical advice on mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Matthew's message is clear: we are all ordinary people capable of extraordinary things.
