What if you could resolve things going haywire in your life without turning them into a big problem?
Ever felt like the culture around addiction and mental health is making you believe you have a massive problem? Well, this episode of 'Alive and Free' flips that notion on its head. Lee Hollis, filling in for Bob Gardner, revisits a foundational episode that questions the very idea of having a problem with addiction or mental health. The episode explores how societal labels and subconscious mind theories might be misleading you.
Instead of being helpless over your mind and body, you actually have full control over them. Lee dives into his personal journey, sharing his struggles with compulsive behaviour and how he broke free from the labels that were holding him back. The episode also debunks common myths about the subconscious mind and mental illness, suggesting that these are constructs rather than realities.
Lee draws on various theories, including Freud's outdated concepts and Nick Chater's book 'The Mind is Flat', to support his arguments. He uses humour and real-life anecdotes to make complex ideas more digestible. The episode encourages you to reconsider the labels you've been given and to recognise your own power in overcoming challenges. If you're tired of feeling trapped by labels and want to experience true freedom, this episode offers a refreshing perspective.
It's not just about relief or recovery; it's about achieving happiness and well-being on autopilot. So, if you're ready to drop the F-bomb of freedom in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
