From Survive to Thrive: 3 Powerful Tools to Re-Connect with Your Superpower | Dr Adam Dorsay

On a podcast that talks a lot about thriving, what do we talk about when people are struggling with surviving?

It feels like a break-glass in case of emergency moment where many high-performing, high-agency, purpose-driven, resilient people are feeling overwhelmed, they’re unable to access joy, and they’re tapping out.

Whether it’s the move towards authoritarian governments, the worsening climate crisis, the state of the economy, the move away from social justice and increasing divide between ultra-wealthy and shrinking middle class, there’s enough to fill the day with doomscrolling and naval-gazing.

We rely on these paragons of resilience in moments like these, but they are getting caught up in this collective amygdala hijack moment too.

You can’t change it or actively resist it by staring at a screen; you can’t lift others up by languishing in your threat response.

But here’s the thing: You can change it by connecting with yourself in meaning for ways.

Since my purpose is to help others unlock their possibilities, I felt the need to speak with someone who can provide powerful guidance and tools to unlock their collective amygdala hijack, and Dr. Adam Dorsay answered the call.

Dr. Adam Dorsay is a licensed psychologist and executive coach based in Silicon Valley who works with high-performers and professional athletes. Dr. Adam is the host of the award-winning podcast, SuperPsyched.

Dr. Adam’s superpower is connections, and the first type of connection he shines a light on is connection with oneself. In this conversation, Dr. Adam shares powerful tools for re-connecting with oneself to not only stop the amygdala hijack, but more importantly find balance, find vitality and meaning in life, and get back to thriving.

- How do I stop feeling anxious and overwhelmed?
