In this episode of the Self-Brain Surgery Podcast, I discuss the second half of the 10 Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery, providing you with essential principles to enhance your mental health and personal growth. Building on the previous episode, I summarize the initial commandments and delve into actionable strategies to help you navigate life more effectively.

I explore the importance of simplifying challenges in commandment six and emphasize the effects of generational patterns in commandment seven. We then discuss the significance of caring for your brain in commandment eight, linking physical health and cognitive function.

The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery™ Part I (S12E2) Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I introduce the first five of the Ten Commandments of self-brain surgery, which guide mental and emotional wellness. I emphasize the importance of rejecting self-destructive behaviors, understanding feelings as chemical events, questioning negative automatic thoughts, recognizing the brain's capacity for healing, and focusing on future possibilities over immediate discomfort. Practical applications are provided to encourage self-reflection and conscious thought alterations. The next episode will explore the remaining five commandments, continuing the journey toward personal fulfillment.

How Self-Brain Surgeons Learn New Operations Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

Surgical Training is Hard, But It's Crucial to Safe Practice

Today, a look back at something called a "Surgical Approach," and why knowing multiple approaches is so important.

This has everything to do with learning and practicing self-brain surgery too! Surgeons who only know one approach get stuck, and sometimes cannot complete an operation safely. Choosing the right approach makes all the difference, and this episode will help you learn the approaches to your own life and self-brain surgery practice that will help you keep moving forward!

Not Just My Brain: Mind Change Monday Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

It's Mind Change Monday!

Today, a talk about whether we're stuck with our feelings, diagnoses, or past traumas, or not. Am I just a skin sack of neurons? Or I am I fearfully and wonderfully made? What if we actually have a tremendous amount of control over these things? The good news is, we do! How we think changes how we live, even if we've been through TBI, TMT, or any other type of problem. No diagnosis is more powerful than the incredible smashing together of your brain, mind, and spirit. Why? Because you have a Great Physician, my friend.

Scripture: II Timothy 1:7
