Breaking Free from Inner Bullying: A Journey to Mental Wellness

In this eye-opening episode, Mathew Blades and Dr. Dave are joined by Dr. Anna Marie Frank, author of "Stop Bullying Yourself," to explore the transformative power of changing our thoughts and behaviors for better mental health.

Dr. Frank shares her journey of healing her brain, challenging the limitations of medication-only approaches to mental wellness. She offers practical strategies for overcoming depression and anxiety, emphasizing the importance of neuroplasticity and creating new neural networks.

Key topics include:

• The potential to reshape our brains at any moment

• Practical steps to change thought patterns and behaviors

• Understanding and silencing your inner bully

"Depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, dyslexia. These are all things that I've been told that I have. And they're not things that I have. There are things that I've experienced." - Dr. Annamarie Frank

This conversation offers hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with mental health issues or negative self-talk. Dr. Frank's insights, combined with Dr. Dave's professional perspective, provide a roadmap for personal transformation and mental wellness.

"When you experience emotional pain. You've already paid the tuition, now take the class and find out what you can learn from it." - Dr. Dave

Tune in for an empowering discussion that will challenge your perceptions of mental health and inspire you to take control of your inner dialogue.
