Listen To Episode 333 As Dr. Kelly Brogan Uncovers:

[1:30] The Spiral Path Of Life

-How her impulse of freedom and sovereignty has guided her entire life process.
-Why she was so focused on ticking off all of the boxes of adult life but then it all came apart.
-The fact that she literally never felt fear in her life as she hid in her mind and intellect so she could cultivate a sense of control in her personal and professional life.
-How to get in touch with your true self through your hero/heroine journey and the "death" of your old self. (12:40)
-Steps to accepting all parts of your life; both the light and the dark.

[16:00] The Concept of Mirroring

-The concept of mirroring and her own experience applying it during a recent silent retreat.
-How to explore and accept ourselves by observing how we see or treat other people.
-Why we feel like it 'costs' us to hold our opinions lightly and give up being right. (19:30)
-Unpacking the root of our "it's every man for himself" thoughts and actions.
-The strengthening process that comes with being able to alchemize emotions.
-Clarity she has received through the writing of her book, Own Your Self.
-Why intently focusing on this 'arrival point' someplace in the future is actually a distraction from true self-discovery.
-The fact that we should be actively looking for love where we don't see it in order to help us let go of suffering.
-How to start being in more of a state of accepting what is instead of getting an unhealthy charge out of your emotions.

[30:25] There Is Nothing Wrong About You

-Exploring the idea of what true freedom and owning ourselves actually mean.
-How to access a state of inner peace and stability that is not contingent upon on anything external.
-Why relationships should not be based on an exchange but from a place of overflowing love. (34:40)
-The old way of managing our fear through ever-increasing efforts towards control and dominance vs. this new movement of being aware that the system is broken. (38:30)
-The concept of readiness as being this feeling of relief when you move in the direction of change. (40:00)
-How she's helped change lives by simply giving people permission to believe that nothing is actually wrong with them. (40:40)

[43:50] What Does It Mean To Be Free?

-What it would look like for society to be free from the shackles of mental health.
-The necessary cultural capacity to be able to hold negative emotions and become more comfortable with emotional states that we would label as rage, grief, or shame.
-Why we look for quick fixes for negative emotions and we so often give up freedom for the allusion of safety.
-How she came to no longer see mental illness as something that exists or even a worthy construct.
-Approaching our beliefs, thoughts, and actions with an open mind. (46:00)
-Exploring the concept of creating a container and loving whatever is in it even if that is fear.
-How fear drives our victim stories and how to use that to leverage our emotions into full expression. (51:30)
-How she reacts to any criticism on her professional work including that she is just a projection screen for critics with some kernels of truth.
-Challenges included in the Vital Life Project to help you explore yourself and test your ability for readiness.
