You've been told to "Think Positive" so many times in your life and this could be keeping you stuck. According to my guest today, Dr. Eddie O'Connor, a clinical psychologist and host of 'The Psychology of Performance', shares his insights on the detrimental effects of positive thinking when misapplied.
This very thing is the reason I was kicked out of therapy. I kept trying to figure out how to fix the fact that I was angry at my father for being an alcoholic, that I was sad that I had been cheated on time and time again.
And, just as Dr. O'Connor explains in this episode, I didn't need to be fixed. I wasn't broken and you're not broken either. Join us in the great conversation as we talk about:
overcoming anxiety, building self-worth, and achieving peak performance
the importance of addressing and understanding fear and anxiety
practical strategies for managing performance anxiety
the value of resilience and realistic thinking over forced positivity
Bring us along on your drive and learn that acknowleding and adapting to your fears can lead to a more confident and fulfilled life.
