The Well Minded Podcast with Master Therapist Lynn Matti

I help people understand themselves better, make sense of their feelings, and learn from resentments and disappointments by using a heart-centered and holistic approach. We all want to live an authentic and fulfilling life…sometimes we just need a little help.
Two of our most basic needs are to be connected and to feel loved. Without these, we feel a lack of purpose and isolated. When we feel alone, disconnected and insecure, we’re filled with negative thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame. Left unattended and unvalidated, these feelings take root, growing into resentments and increasingly unhealthy behaviors. If we lack positive feelings about ourselves it’s difficult to trust, communicate and feel safe in the world.
I offer you a space to be listened to without judgment. A place of safety. And, when you are ready, a new perspective backed by a toolbox full of good techniques to uniquely help you reconnect with your inner world and improve your relationships. We tune into and check out your long held beliefs. We quiet those unkind unconscious messages and turn up your self confidence by identifying and supporting your strengths.

80: Do You Take Time for Self-Reflection? Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

Self-reflection can be defined as the capacity to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about one’s fundamental nature and purpose. It is usual to use the term introspection interchangeably with the term self-reflection because they mean more or less the same thing. Self-reflection is the opposite of external observation which refers to the process of the individual looking outside of themselves to the physical world.

79: The Loopholes we use to justify staying stuck. Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Why don’t we take action to help ourselves? I’m a trained psychotherapist, mental wellness coach, writer, and mentor. In my work with professionals and through my writing, I hear from far too many women and men who share that they’ve put off getting help for mental wellness for months, years, even for a most of a lifetime. Deep down, they know they need help, and they know they’re miserable and can’t fix the situation by themselves, yet they so often do nothing to help themselves.

78: Want Recovery? 5 Tips for Building and Sustaining a Healthy One. Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

What needs to happen for individuals to achieve and sustain recovery? How is sustained recovery maintained? What degree of improvement in which areas of one's life are required for the individual to have something he or she does not want to lose to active substance use? We need to explore these questions and others to examine and improve our understanding of recovery and work to effectively promote it.

77: Sober Curious and Self-Medicating: When Drinking Less or Quitting is Not Enough. Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

Using substances to self-medicate can lead to symptoms of mental illness. For example, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America says that alcohol and other substances can worsen anxiety symptoms. Self-medication can have a negative impact on mental health and does very little to treat the underlying condition. Recognizing forms of self-medication can help you understand how substance abuse may be related to depression and other mental health conditions.

Show notes

Lynn discusses the importance of understanding your beliefs about relaxation and how to be compassionate in your search for mental wellbeing. “Some women and men aren’t actively looking for emotional and spiritual healing, but when the guidance to do the work actually becomes available to them, they choose it,” wrote Casarjian in her book. “We can’t choose what we don’t yet know exists,” of Healing: A Prisoner's Guide to Inner Power and Freedom by Robin Casarjian

Automatic thoughts are images, words, or other kinds of mental activity that pop into your head in response to a trigger.

73: Strategies for Boosting and Building Your Mood and Resilience and Increase Meaningful Mental Wellness Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

What does it mean to be meaningfully mentally well? Mental health refers to your overall psychological well-being. It encompasses the way you feel about yourself, the quality of your relationships, and your ability to regulate your feelings and cope with difficulties. Strong mental wellness isn’t just the absence of problems. Being mentally or emotionally healthy is so much more than being free of depression, anxiety, or other psychological issues.

72: Impulsivity and Compulsivity: How Addictive Behaviors Hijack your Brain. Jun 17, 2019

A physical or emotional addiction/dependence are actually the same thing. They are changes in the structure of our brains which is our physical body. These brain changes make emotional and behavioral regulation difficult and have a great impact on how we behave.

71: Broken Promises: Relearning to Trust, Yourself, Others and the Recovery Process Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Trust is defined as a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. Trust can help bring us closer to other people. Trusting others, such as family members and friends, can reassure us that we’ll be helped when we need it. It’s the foundation of any healthy relationship — including the relationship you have with yourself. Trusting yourself can build up your confidence, make it easier for you to make decisions, and reduce your stress levels. And the good news is that even if you don’t trust yourself now, with some effort you can build up that trust over time.
