Detox Your Mind, Heal Burnout & Reduce Toxic Stress with Neuroscientist, Dr Caroline Leaf
Neuroscientist Dr Caroline Leaf talks with Angela about the mind, what it is and how you can reduce toxic stress and tune into the signals to make positive change
In this fascinating look at the non-conscious, subconscious and conscious aspects of the mind Dr Caroline explains how the mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going and discusses the ways it processes and brings understanding to our experiences
As Dr Caroline discusses we can’t see mind but the product of mind are how we communicate and express our uniqueness
Key Takeaways
The mind is the ability that we have as humans to use our brain and body to express our uniqueness
The mind is the driving force that keeps the brain and body going
The mind is our aliveness, our ability to think, feel and choose on a psychological level
It is what helps the heart, beat and the body make new cells
The biggest driving force part of the mind is the non-conscious
It’s the part that is active all the time helping us to process and understand our experiences

Thoughts can be changed when they are pulled into the conscious mind
When we build in the wrong expectation the result is a loss of selfhood
Best Moments
‘Everything about your aliveness is coming from this driving force of the mind
‘You can’t see mind but you see the product of mind in our ability to communicate
Post-natal depression is a very normal response to a challenging situation
What we say and what we do is an outpouring of our thoughts
