Neuroscientist Dr Caroline Leaf talks with Angela about the mind, what it is and how you can reduce toxic stress and tune into the signals to make positive change
In this fascinating look at the non-conscious, subconscious and conscious aspects of the mind Dr Caroline explains how the mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going and discusses the ways it processes and brings understanding to our experiences
As Dr Caroline discusses we can’t see mind but the product of mind are how we communicate and express our uniqueness
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The mind is the ability that we have as humans to use our brain and body to express our uniqueness
The mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going
The mind is our aliveness, our ability to think, feel and choose on a psychological level
It is what helps the heart, beat and the body make new cells
The biggest driving force part of the mind is the non-conscious
It’s the part that is active all the time helping us to process and understand our experiences
The most obvious part of the mind is the conscious mind and it draws on the non-conscious for understanding
The subconscious part of the mind is the bridge between the infinite non-conscious and the finite conscious parts of the mind
Thoughts are made of memories and our mind makes these thoughts made of memories out of experiences and builds them into the brain as structural changes
We build every experience into the brain, body and mind and this is driven by the non-conscious
As humans, we need to tune into the signals so that we can move things into the conscious mind and change
We need to allow ourselves to feel depression and anxiety, accept it and then weaken the pathway to
You can train yourself with the neurocycle process to get your conscious mind to connect with and listen to the subconscious to find the thoughts in the non-conscious and deconstruct and reconstruct them
Thoughts can be changed when they are pulled into the conscious mind
When we build in the wrong expectation the result is a loss of selfhood
BEST MOMENTS
‘Everything about your aliveness is coming from this driving force of the mind
‘You can’t see mind but you see the product of mind in our ability to communicate
Post-natal depression is a very normal response to a challenging situation
What we say and what we do is an outpouring of our thoughts
