She’s a speaker and corporate trainer who teaches companies like Google, Under Armour, and NBC how to grow mentally stronger.

People struggling with addiction are often hiding in plain sight. They're your neighbors, co-workers, friends, and maybe even family members.

Daniel Patterson used to be one of those people. He was a high school teacher and assistant principal who had a serious, secret drinking problem. He sometimes tried to make changes — and even saw a therapist — but he minimized the impact alcohol had on his life until he finally couldn't ignore it anymore.

Some of the things he shares are the tricks his addiction played on him to convince him to keep drinking, the things he tried to reduce his drinking that didn't work, and the short-term experiment that eventually led to recovery.

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin - 23 — Friday Fix: How to Empower Yourself and Stop Letting Others Mistreat You
play

07/28/23 • 24 min

If you've ever felt frustrated by people who treat you poorly, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to empower yourself.

But first, it's important to recognize why you allow yourself to be mistreated. You might be surprised by what the research says about the link between low self-esteem and mistreatment from others. Once you develop a better understanding of why mistreatment occurs in the first place, you can decide if you're ready to establish boundaries and prioritize self-respect.

Make sure to listen to the end of the episode for the question of the week. And if you have a question you'd like answered by a therapist, email me at [email protected] and I'll consider featuring it on a future Friday Fix episode.

Magnesium is being touted as a powerful solution to anxiety, depression, insomnia, memory problems, and attention span. But is the hype realistic?

Dr. Jennifer Gu is a researcher who studies how Magnesium affects the brain and the body. She explains why so many people are magnesium deficient, how adding a supplement could benefit you, and why Magtein may be a better option than a general magnesium supplement.

Here are a few things she discusses:

  1. How magnesium can help improve cognitive function, attention, and memory.
  2. Why Magtein, a specific type of magnesium supplement, can have positive effects on mental health.
  3. How magnesium can improve sleep quality and reduce restlessness at night.
  4. How magnesium supplements can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase concentration.
  5. Why magnesium may have potential benefits for conditions such as Alzheimer's and ADHD.

Your brain health is affected by everything from how much sleep you get to how much time you spend on your digital devices. However, most people don't spend much time thinking about improving their memory or accelerating learning. Instead, we attribute trouble learning to not being smart enough or blame memory gaps on the fact that we're aging.

Jim Kwik, brain coach and author of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, says we should put more energy into improving our cognitive abilities. He says there are many things we can do to unlock the power of our brains. Some of the things he shares are:

  • What it means to be limitless
  • How to improve neuroplasticity
  • How the brain changes throughout our lives
  • 10 tips for improving brain health

Perfectionism takes a serious toll on your mental health and well-being. It's often driven by the fear of not being good enough and involves a desire to get validation from others. It often leads to anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

Fortunately, there are some things that can help you give up the need to appear perfect. Thomas Curran, a psychology professor and the author of The Perfection Trap, shares how addressing perfectionism can improve your mental health and lead to a happier life.

Some of the things he talks about are:

  • The link between perfectionism and increased risk of mental health issues.
  • Why perfectionists tend to feel lonely.
  • Why perfectionism is a spectrum.
  • Why perfectionism can lead to self-sabotage and an inability to derive satisfaction from success.
  • How social media can contribute to perfectionism.
  • Why overcoming perfectionism requires a shift in mindset.
  • How embracing imperfections and being willing to make mistakes can lead to personal growth and success.
  • How letting go of perfectionism can actually improve performance and creativity.

Some of the things he talks about today are how to develop a fun quest, what you'll gain from it, and how your adventure can help you grow mentally stronger.
