We live with a symphony of inner voices. Some are critics, and others are cheerleaders. The chatter in our minds is not adversarial, even though it might feel that way at times. The diverse aspects of our personality equip us with compassion in times of need and offer different perspectives for problem-solving. Achieving internal harmony hinges on peacemaking within our minds and soothing the inner critical voices. But, how do we take the reins and slow down the overwhelm when it takes over?
To discover how to turn on the peacemaking channel in our minds, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with clinician, speaker, trauma specialist, and author, Britt Frank, LCSW.
Britt shares insights and brain hacks from her newest book, Align Your Mind. Her “micro-yeses” process moves us past the why of why we do things and springs us into the action of doing something else.
