We dive into what the “self” really is, using practical analogies and metaphors. But more importantly, we talk about how you can change your “self” in this moment through taking responsibility and recognizing that our degree of freedom to grow our self will always match our degree of responsibility.OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -BiOptimizers: Visit magbreakthrough.com/drleaf and enter code drleaf10 for 10% off any order.ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:   Visit my website for more resources, all my books and more: https://drleaf.com/    Instagram: @drcarolineleaf: https://www.instagram.com/drcarolineleafFacebook: Dr. Caroline Leaf: https://www.facebook.com/drleaf   Twitter: @drcarolineleaf: https://twitter.com/DrCarolineLeaf   Youtube: https://www.

Jameela Jamil is such a person and on today’s podcast we have a brilliant discussion on so many important mental health issues like body dysmorphia, her own more than 20-year struggle with anorexia, the energy draining and joy stealing this focus has, the pressure on women to live up to patriarchal standards, the influence of social media on our youth and so much more. Jameela is a British actress, model, and activist and BBC radio host. She gained widespread recognition in the TV series "The Good Place."

Think of those school projects you did as a child; enabling is your mom doing the whole project for you, while empowering is your mom helping you do your own school project.Read the blog here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-difference-between-being-patient-vs-enabling-toxic-behavior-how-to-become-a-super-self-regulatorOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -ChimeL Sign up for Chime today, and make this summer the best one yet - for yourself and your wallet.

This is part 2 of my series on parenting, boundaries, and mental health. Part one can be found here.Whenever you, as a parent or caregiver, set a boundary, make sure that you always explain why in a way that your child will understand. Use the moment to model healthy boundaries for your child and teach them what a healthy boundary looks like, using language that encourages your child to think about the situation and what it means. Avoid using language that shuts them down such as saying “because I said so”, which will make the boundary feel more like a punishment than a teaching opportunity. Read the blog here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-set-boundaries-while-still-respecting-validating

This is part 1 of a 2-part series on parenting, boundaries, and mental health.  From the moment children are born, they are tied to their environment and the people within their environment. They are born into a community which they both shape and are shaped by.   A child’s identity is closely tied to their community – their family, friends, and other acquaintances. Children develop a sense of who they are in relation to who they are with. This has both a huge potential for growth and connection and a huge potential for harm, which is why teaching your child how to have healthy relationships from a young age is so important for their mental and physical wellbeing.  Read the blog here: https://drl

Even after years of counseling and therapy, Lysa’s husband continued to live a life outside of their marriage, while Lysa was also experiencing a number of serious health issues, including breast cancer.  Read the blog here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-heal-after-betrayal-with-lysa-terkeurstSign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&As,

This is part of a series I am doing on questions you submitted for my new book on children’s mental health. This was Alicia’s question:“How do I help a sensitive seven-year-old move on after they make a mistake? I have a very sensitive seven year old girl. She likes to follow the rules. However, she does from time to time need some course correction. When I do so, she instantly withdraws, and becomes very quiet and sad, often for a long amount of time. I have a hunch that she’s beating herself up about whatever mistake she made, and I would love some help figuring out how to help her receive correction without being so hard on herself.”Read the blog here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
