WEBVTT - #1975 Helping People To Help Themselves - Dr. Lillian Nejad

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I got a team. IT'SU Project, it's doctor Lillian, it's

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Tiffany, and it's the shitkicker from Moe that's right

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 1>to Academics, and the moccasin wearing Bogan from Little Travali.

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I hope this finds you. Well, it's a Monday as

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we record. It's a two twenty pm Monday version of

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. We'll start with the pugilist down at the

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>bottom of my screen, who's looking very academic in her

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>big fucking gigantic academic geek glasses.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>How are you My eyes are so blurry today, even

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>with these on.

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>What is that about?

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Is that?

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what? Sometimes there's a correlation between blood

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 1>pressure and blurry eyes. Oh and of course tiredness and

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>blurry eyes. And there's a bunch of things. But maybe

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you just got a bit of snot in them.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how old you get snot in my

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>eyes up.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't mean snot, I just mean, you know,

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>like mukissy stuff. You know, that's just I'll listen to

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>gross because you neither of you would like pooh or

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>anything or or have snott le mucus. Because you both princesses.

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 3>That's right. I'm wearing glasses too, so we're in the

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>glasses club, Tiffany. But mine is because of age. It

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>has nothing to do with stuff in my eyes.

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>When did you when when did you hit the the

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>visual wall?

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, for this, this visual wall, which is the age

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 3>related one where you can't see things close, I hit

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>that wall like really significantly, only in like the last

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 3>six to eight months. I feel like before I was

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>losing it, probably a few years ago, like like it

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>was becoming more difficult, but it wasn't that bad. But

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>now I go to a restaurants and I'm like, Okay, can't

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 3>read this. The lights too dim, it's too small, Like

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 3>what is your problem? Which is annoying because I hate

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>where I actually hate glasses because I've always had vision

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>issues because i couldn't see far from age seven, so

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I've always had to wear glasses or contacts. And then

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I decided, like five years ago, I think during COVID,

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you know what, I'm just going to like

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 3>have the laser surgery and I'm going to have like

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 3>this moment in my life where i can wake up

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>and see the world as it is rather than having

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 3>to wait to like put my contacts in, and so

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I did and it was fine. But now this vision

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 3>issue has happened, so it's like, well, what the why

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>did I do that? Now I'm going to have to

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 3>wear glasses or contacts again. So it was very short lived.

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>But what about what about you cook Sorry? Sorry, million,

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>what about you cooks?

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I had glasses for quite a while, but my eyes

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 2>saw it to take in a notable dive in the

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>last twelve months because now I'm finding kind of have

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 2>to start wearing them.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I reckon forty ish is about the time for a

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of people it is.

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I was r.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I was born with what they used to call

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the actual medical name is, but

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>in the old days, I was born with a lazy eye.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever heard that term?

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>My mom's got that.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I don't know what it's but my left

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>eye was turned like just so handsome. So instead of

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it being the normal kind of you know, I don't know,

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>like the clocks on our hands. On a clock is

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like say three point fifteen, you know, straight nine and

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>three straight horizontal, it was turned I don't know which way.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>But then when I was five, so I had corrective

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>surgery on my wonky eye. I don't know if they

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>do this anymore. And it was weak, like I couldn't

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>see shit out of it was terrible. And so they

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>back then was we're going to give you surgery on

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>this side, We're going to straighten that. Then we're going

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to make you walk around like a fucking pirate with

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a patch over a good eye. Like so I was

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a five year old pirate. All I needed was a

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>parrot and it didn't help, and I kept I just

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>bumped into shit and it didn't it didn't improve it

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>or a little. And even now, yeah, my left eye

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>now is terrible. My right eye is pretty much awesome,

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but my left eye is negligible in terms of the

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>value that I get from it.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that was the same process for my nephew

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>who's about twenty five now. He had the same thing

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 3>where he had to wear a patch for a period

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>of time when he was young, and probably other other

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 3>things as well, I think so, I do think so.

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 3>But it might not have been just that that helped him.

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Might have been like other things that I'm not I

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 3>don't remember that he did. But yeah, I know, what's.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Up, doc, What have you been up to? What's news?

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>How's the world of psychology? A paper? More broken? Less broken?

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you healing minds and waving your bloody cognitive magic

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.359
<v Speaker 1>over the population? What are you doing well?

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 3>My work with my clients is great because I love

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 3>doing it and a lot of them have don't need

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>me anymore, so that's good for them, which is great.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 3>So on that front great. I also took a nice

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>long break and I went away with my daughter for

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 3>a bit and visited my family and spent some time

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>in other places that I hadn't been in decades, which

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 3>was really nice. And now I'm back back on the

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 3>work train. And I always have a lot of balls

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 3>in the air with work. So I have my practice,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 3>and then I have the you know, containing your brain

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>app and then i'm you know, working on new projects.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 3>And I did a speaking engagement a couple of weeks ago,

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 3>which was something I don't do anymore. I used to

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>do much more often before COVID, but I was completely

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 3>out of practice. So that was very stressful cray because

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I had to do a presentation in front of a

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred people and live and normally like I could completely

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 3>do that no problem online I'm very you know, I've

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 3>always and I've done it in the past to more

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>than a hundred people, but I'm just completely out of practice,

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 3>and so, yeah, i was over preparing and you know,

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 3>all the stuff that you do when you're feeling stressed

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 3>about something. No, but it went well, it went well.

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 3>I enjoyed it. I always like it when I do it.

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I wonder about the balance between the level of

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 3>stress and time and then the satisfaction that you get

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 3>after and like, what, you know, is it worth like

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 3>is it something that I should pursue or not? And

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>then I'm like and then I have to like think

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 3>to myself, Okay, well, if I do it more, it's

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 3>going to be less stressful and I'm not going to

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 3>have to prepare as much. So the balance is going

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>to be different the next time.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, But.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm always doing so many things, I'm not sure

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 3>about which things to prioritize. You know, I think you've.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Got to be really passionate about it. TIFF's kind of

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>opened the door on corporate speaking and public speaking, and

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>she's good at it and she's got vast potential. But

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and we speak about this a lot, you can't be

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>good at the thing that you don't do much, you know,

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>And so it's like with and even speaking online, which

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I know you're naturally a good communicator, right, But even

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>for me if I don't do one for say six

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>or eight weeks, which is not that often that that happens,

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, when I get back, I'm like, it takes

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>me a minute to find my feet. Yeah, but when

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I bang them out, Like the last six weeks, I've

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>done at least one every week, and some of them

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>like I've got one this Friday. It's all day. It's

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>me on stage all day with the room full of humans,

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's just that it's just I mean, for me,

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like training. It's like reps. It's like sets. It's

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>like you can't get strong without getting to the gym

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and doing the work and doing the reps and doing

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the sets and like. And even if your knowledge is

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>good and your technical skills are good, and you know

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>you're well qualified and all of that, it's not the

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 1>same as being able to stand on a stage or

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever the situation is, being in front of you know,

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifty one hundred, one thousand people and being able

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to in the moment, read the room and build rapport

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and build connect and understand the experience of the audience

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>while you're up there in real time trying to keep

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>your shit together, think about what you're going to say,

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.599
<v Speaker 1>but also have enough situational and I guess social intelligence

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and awareness to be able to go is this landing

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>or is this missing? And if it's missing, what do

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I need to do to get it back on track?

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Like what are they telling me without actually saying anything,

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Because the audience are always speaking to you even when

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>they're not speaking to you. So for me, there's that

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that And again the other thing too is like what

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>works for me? Would I would not suggest for you?

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>You know. I did one last week at Lawn and

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>this lady who spoke before me. I mentioned this the

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>other day on the show. But she was great. But

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>she was very organized, very structured, very slick, very polished,

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>very well presented, very articulate and just fucking bang on,

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and very like, very good at what she did.

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>But everything was very structured and organized. And then I

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>get up I'm like a golden retriever, but you know,

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>chasing its right, and it just to be able to

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>get up there and no, no, it's and no presentation

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>and no slides and just start talking and see where

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the room's at and see where I'm going to go,

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>which is, by the way, not the best way to

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>do it, but it's the best way to do it

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>for me. So I think about you're getting reps in,

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to figure out also what's good for you,

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Like what's the how much information, how much storytelling, how

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 1>much humor if any? Like Tip's got good stories, and

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's always good, like banging out a story

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and then kind of exploring the message in the story,

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>because once you tell a story, you've got if it's

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a good story, and if you're not a shit storyteller,

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you've got emotional connection, right, But when you're just blurting

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>out data or information or theory, you don't get the

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>same level of engagement. Generally.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it is helpful to tie it into something

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 3>relatable and I you know, it's funny the storytelling things.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 3>My dad is like the best storyteller, Like he's so

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 3>good at it, and I don't think it's filtered down.

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I can do like I can relate something like relate

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 3>information to something relatable and practical but not in the

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 3>form of a story. Often like it's in the form

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 3>of like, oh, you know, like you know times when

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 3>you do this or you know that kind of segue

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 3>or you know, way of relating a practical thing to

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 3>something real, because you know, I always say to people

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 3>like I haven't I haven't trained as a storyteller. I'm

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 3>a story listener, and that's that's what I do. That's

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.559
<v Speaker 3>what I do. Yeah, and that's maybe what I'm good

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 3>at as well, But I don't. It's not about me,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 3>like it's so like so it's it's just a little

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 3>it's a little bit more effort for me to think

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 3>about how do I engage them, And it's not necessarily

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 3>going to be via It could be via a story,

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 3>for sure, but it might be via other ways of

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Like for instance, with this group, I did some practical

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>exercises along, so I've always explaining different strategies we actually

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 3>did some of them together. Or I'd related to something

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 3>that I knew that they were all into sports, and

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 3>so I'd relate a lot of the things that I

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 3>said to and what an athlete might do or how

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 3>an athlete might think about something, or you know, or

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 3>just talk about it in general, we're all you know,

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 3>on the same page with that. We all have similar interests. So,

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 3>like you said, there's lots of different ways to go

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 3>about something and impart information, and you don't have to

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 3>be the same as somebody else. Everyone's got their own way.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 3>And it would have been probably a really good experience

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 3>for that audience you're talking about to have completely two different,

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, presentations done in different ways, because it would

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 3>have suited you know, a whole range of people having

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 3>it having you know, those two different options.

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, So what about you, tif have you how

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>have you changed your reckon over the last five years

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>standing in front of groups like as, how has your

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff evolved?

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Well? I think obviously this year a lot because I'm

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 2>doing a course that's pushing me in to areas that

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't normally go in terms of how I structure

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the information and plan it a lot more meticulously than

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 2>what is my general way, And I think there's a

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of really beneficial positives in that. But there's a

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of internal pushback that I have to battle through

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 2>because it's uncomfortable and it's unme right, yeah, yeah.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And the pushback is good because you do have

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 3>to keep it true to yourself as well. I think

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 3>sometimes that's helpful to have that structure and like, know

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 3>what a nice structure looks like and what are the

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 3>ingredients to a good presentation, but then have that real

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 3>flexibility and personal touch to it so that it's still you.

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 3>It's not cookie cutter, and it doesn't have to be

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 3>exactly the way that it's being taught.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>But what about communication more broadly though, for both of you. Right,

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you sit down and you would talk about a

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of the same issues with people, or there would

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be issues or topics that you revisit if you coach people.

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Lillions of psychologists different but you know, not in the

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not that far apart. Like, let's start with you, Lylan, Like,

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>how do you know if person A is depressed and

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a bit of anxiety, in person B is

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the same, in person SEE is the same. You know,

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>same kind of issue, but there are three different people.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you know where to go? How do you

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>know where to start.

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.479
<v Speaker 3>When they're in a group or as individuals?

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I no, no individual Like if I come to you and

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm anxious, and then Tiff comes to you and she's anxious,

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and then Brian comes to you and he's anxious. Right,

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it might be manifesting differently in each of us, and

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it might kind of be the same thing in inverted

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>commas that we're experiencing. But you know, telling us all

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to go away and do ABC might not be the answer.

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>So do you know, how do you know how to

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's going to work for Tiff, what's going

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to work for Craig, what's going to work for Brian?

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Like what's the starting point with trying to read that?

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's like my analogy would be, you know,

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a doctor doesn't give everyone the same medication even if

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>they've got similar issues, you know, So what's that starting

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>point for you?

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, starting point we call it like just the assessment phase,

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 3>I suppose, And sometimes that's one session, sometimes sometimes it's

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 3>more depending on who's in front of you, but asking

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot of questions, you know, getting that you know,

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 3>permission from them to ask them, a lot of questions

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 3>that might be about their their long term history, their

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 3>short term history, what they've actually come in for that day.

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Why now, like you know, if this has been a

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 3>problem for a while, why are they coming to you

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>know today, why is it important to deal with it now?

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Thinks about their personality, their current environment and circumstances, things

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 3>that might be obstacles to doing certain strategies and treatments,

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 3>like taking kind of all of that into account, and

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 3>then also just on the actual problem, assessing that in

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 3>a lot of detail. So anxiety, you know, people use

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 3>anxiety for lots of things, and there is there's anxiety

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 3>that's normative that some people think isn't like right, And

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.959
<v Speaker 3>there is what we call like subclinical anxiety problems, so

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 3>something that's a problem but it's not at the level

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 3>of like a clinical disorder. And then there is disorders, right,

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 3>we have the panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, you know,

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 3>the whole range of anxiety related disorders and associated disorders

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 3>like OCD and PTSD that can all be anxiety if

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 3>someone comes in for that problem, So you're also assessing, like,

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, what are the actual symptoms, how are they

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 3>impacting their lives? And then also what's going to give

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 3>them success as soon as possible, Like what's going to

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 3>give them relief as soon as possible. So a lot

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 3>goes into.

0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>That.

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 3>So what I tend to do is I have the

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.160
<v Speaker 3>I asked the questions that I think are the most

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 3>permanent to the problem, and then I developed like a

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 3>like a little brief formulation like what what do I

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 3>think is going on? Why it's going on? What what

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 3>are the factors that are making this person more vulnerable

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:21.400
<v Speaker 3>to this problem or maintaining the problem. And I talk

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 3>to the person about this is what I'm thinking based

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 3>on what you said? Does this sound right? You know,

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 3>like get them to collaborate with me. Is this am

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I on the money? Does this sound right? And then

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>give them like a plan based on that, so like,

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.920
<v Speaker 3>here's what Here are the goals that you have. Here

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 3>are the things that I think could help you reach

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 3>those goals. And here would be the out you know,

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the outcomes that we would expect, and you know, a

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 3>time frame often around that as well. And then to

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 3>get their input on that what seems like, you know,

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 3>out of these strategies, what do you think? So giving

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.919
<v Speaker 3>them like structure based on like experience and evidence and

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 3>what works for the problem that they're bringing in, but

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 3>also giving them you know, that that empowering them to

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 3>tell me like is am I accurate? If I am accurate?

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Are these the strategies that they're interested in doing. Why

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 3>or why not? What are what's going to get in

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 3>the way And then let's let's see what happens. Start

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 3>with strategy one and see what happens kind of thing.

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I like that because I mean I love

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the idea of a collaborative kind of process where it's

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>not you telling somewhat what to do. You know, it's

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>both of you figuring out obviously with your guidance and

0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>expertise and quolls you know what might you know, Like

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>here's what I think. How does that sound to you?

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? And you know what's really funny about that too,

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 3>is like you, you know, we're trained to go into

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 3>it collaboratively, but sometimes you'll you'll get people saying, no,

0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I just want you to tell me.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>What to do, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course right.

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 3>And so you have to be amenable to that too,

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 3>like that's what they're actually asking for. They don't want

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 3>to be, you know, like having to make another decision potentially,

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.959
<v Speaker 3>like that might be adding more stress and anxiety. Am

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I going to choose the right pathway for me? Kind

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 3>of thing? And so if they want you to take

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 3>the reins I'm I try to be again as collaborative

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 3>as possible, but if that's what they really want, I'm

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 3>happy to do that as well and then review it,

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, like is this going how you want it

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.439
<v Speaker 3>to go? And be making positive changes? And if not,

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 3>then we can tweak it again.

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm the same a bit. I say to even the

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>people that I work with, even the exercise space, which

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I guess I would loosely be called an expert, I say, listen,

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 1>despite all the work I've done, all the bodies I've

0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>worked with, all the programs I've written, all the assessments

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I've done, it's still high level guessing because I don't

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>know how your body will respond to this stimulus and TIF.

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.959
<v Speaker 1>So you're not a psych neither am I. So like

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>we zoom out, you do kind of perhaps more multi

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>dimensional big picture where you talk to people about food

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>and exercise and changing habits and thinking and lifestyle. Do

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you have a set protocol when somebody comes through the door,

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the metaphorical literal door, or do you just you bet

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Craig Harper, do you freestyle a little bit and see

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>what happens?

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there is no set protocol here because I think

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 2>people are so different and what they come for. I

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 2>think when people land to work one on one with

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:46.679
<v Speaker 2>me lately, they've listened, They've really gotten to know me

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.440
<v Speaker 2>in the way I think from the podcast, which is awesome,

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and they're often coming with a bit of a multifaceted

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of where to now approach, like they've tried a

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 2>heap of stuff and I don't know, Well, that's the

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 2>way I see it. And I just think over the

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 2>last few years, having those, all the conversations I have,

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.440
<v Speaker 2>has stopped me from trying to feel like I need

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 2>to have these answers. Like I've gotten into a really

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a space where I really comfortable just being curious and

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>listening and exploring and finding our way together. Whereas I, yeah,

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 2>when I first started coaching more in the mindset realm

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 2>than the physical because that was always a lot easier.

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 2>It always worried me to be like, well, where wats

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 2>the solution? Where are we taking people? And of course

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:49.040
<v Speaker 2>we don't know. They don't know. Always Sometimes where they

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.239
<v Speaker 2>say they want to go is a bit of a

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 2>trojan horse to use one of your turns. It's like

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 2>they think they want this, when really they want that.

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 3>I totally agree with you.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 1>You think about even if we talk about you know,

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Lilian's area of expertise, which is human behavior and the

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 1>mind and the brain and all of you know, the cognitive, psychological,

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 1>emotional stuff. But then you draw all the branches out

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>from that trunk, then all the things that we talk about,

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.120
<v Speaker 1>like well, foods can affect your brain and your mindset

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and your mental health and sleep and booze and hydration

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and lifestyle and friendships and relationships and bullshit and you know, traffic,

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and like there are you know, and that there are

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I talk about a lot of a lot of

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 1>things that I am not, i guess technically qualified to

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about. But I don't need to be a dietitian

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to say to Brian, hey, make cocoa pops are probably

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>not your optimal fucking choice for breakfast champ right. You know,

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we don't need a five year master's degree in nutrition

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to say cut back on the junk food. I think

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty safe piece of advice. And I think

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that that you know, knowing that when someone comes through

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to you, like their big limitation could be that they

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:14.719
<v Speaker 1>just have shitty self esteem and no self belief or

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.359
<v Speaker 1>for somebody, it could be they just eat twice the

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of calories they need every day, or for old mate,

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it could be because he or she sits in a

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 1>chair twelve hours a day. So I think it's that

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:28.880
<v Speaker 1>very much. Let's do a bit of a stock take

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:32.199
<v Speaker 1>and an assessment, not just with their food or with

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.440
<v Speaker 1>their body, or with their mind, or with their job

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>or you know, but let's have a let's zoom out

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and see what's going on. Let's see what each one

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty eight hours of a week kind of

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>looks like for them. Tell me about a typical day

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>for you. I've said more than a thousand times, from

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:52.359
<v Speaker 1>when you get out of bed to when you go

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to bed, tell me about a day. Tell me about

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>a normal day. Tell me about work, food, conversations, situations, working,

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>who you're around. Does that real night for you?

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Doc? Oh yeah, I mean that's part of what we

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 3>tend to like. If I'm talking about my clinical clients,

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 3>one of the main things that we do is exactly that,

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 3>like self monitoring. We call it self monitoring. So like

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 3>they might record, depending on what the issues are, but

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 3>they often will record, you know, what do they do

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:30.200
<v Speaker 3>in a day, or it might be what if it's

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 3>an emotional issue, like when does this emotion come up

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 3>for you? And then write down what the situation was,

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 3>what you were thinking, what your response was, and with

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 3>that information, then we start seeing patterns. There might be

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 3>patterns in the situation. There might be patterns in the

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 3>thoughts and beliefs, There might be patterns in the way

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 3>the feelings are expressed, there might be patterns in the

0:25:54.560 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 3>responses to the emotional upheaval. And then we can when

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:05.679
<v Speaker 3>there's clarity around that for me and for my client,

0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 3>then we can start doing something about it. You know,

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 3>if it's mainly a situation about the situation, it's like, okay,

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 3>what can we do about can we do something about it?

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you can't do something about it, so you move

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 3>on to something different, right, you move on to okay, well,

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>how can we regulate your feelings or how can we

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 3>plan for these situations so that you know, the feelings

0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 3>don't come up so intensely, or what are your interpretations

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 3>and beliefs and perspectives about this situation that might be

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:39.399
<v Speaker 3>leading to these kinds of emotional responses or behavioral responses,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 3>or can we switch how you respond and see how

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.360
<v Speaker 3>that works better maybe next time, and do some experiments

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 3>around that. So there's so many different ways that you

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 3>can do it. I mean, ultimately, I feel like we're

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.359
<v Speaker 3>all trying to help people do the same thing, which

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 3>is create a life worth living and for people to

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 3>have the balance that they want, whatever that is for them,

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 3>like whatever success is for them, whatever balance is for them.

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 3>And like you were saying, Tiffany, and how what you've

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 3>often said, Craig, and what I always say as well,

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 3>is that there's no one formula for that, right because

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 3>because not everyone's version of success is the same. Not

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 3>everyone's version of you know, like or tolerance even or

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 3>resilience is the same, you know, So what I want

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:29.919
<v Speaker 3>to get to is may be different to what somebody

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:31.640
<v Speaker 3>else wants to get to. You have to take all

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 3>of that into account. But yeah, I know, for I

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 3>do some coaching as well, like I do my clinical side,

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 3>and I do some like I mean, my company is

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.600
<v Speaker 3>called Skills for Life, so part of that is coaching

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 3>as well, So Skills for Life coaching, I suppose you

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 3>could call it what to call it, But it's different

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 3>to clinical psychology because clinical psychology is like analogous to

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 3>like go into your GP to treat like an illness

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 3>for instance, Right, you're you know, we're not medical model obviously,

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 3>but like we're helping treat an actual problem so that

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 3>person can manage or get better basically, whereas coaching is

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 3>more like how do we improve your life? There's with

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're there may still be a mental illness

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 3>on board, but that you don't need to treat it

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 3>like it's it's treated or it's managed, and you're just like, well,

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 3>how do you make your life what you want it

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 3>to be? Yeah, So that's how I kind of see

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.439
<v Speaker 3>the difference, I reckon.

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that not a lot of people

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 1>would think about is the times when you as a coach,

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>for you as a psychologist or coach or mayors or

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever the fuck I am, when you're going in to

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>be with someone for now as the I don't like

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the term, but the expert or pseudo expert, or the

0:28:57.400 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>leader in that relationship for an hour or the rector

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of operations for that hour, whatever, But when you I

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know, this is what I want to know for

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you too. So there's been obviously many times in my

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>life where I've had to do a talk or a

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>coaching session or a personal training session where I felt

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking terrible myself. Like I'm going in to help someone

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>get their shit together mentally, emotionally, physically, practically, and I

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 1>feel sad, or I feel anxious, or I feel exhausted,

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to fucking do this right now.

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>That's just I mean, I want to do it, yeah,

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you know in that Like I remember, I had an

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>absis on, which is disgusting, one of my back teeth,

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and I had this I had to do this big

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>gig the next day, and I had to. I had

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a sleepless night. I ended up going to the dentist

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>really earlier. I had all these pain meds. I had

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>not slept for thirty six hours. The last thing in

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the world old I wanted to do was stand in

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>front of a bunch of people, be funny, be interesting.

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even want to fucking look at anyone. I

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to lie down and rock back and forth

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and feel sorry for myself. But it's like, no, bro,

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you're getting paid all this money and there's two hundred people,

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>So turn the fuck up and be awesome, you know,

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like that that and or it doesn't have to

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>be that dramatic. It could just be in the middle

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of a session when you're with someone and you realize

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>in that session you're actually worse than them, they're doing

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:35.120
<v Speaker 1>better than you, Like they're doing tiff of you, Like,

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>how do you manage that tiff? Because I know that

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you're a bit of a roller coaster like me at times,

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and you've talked about it a lot where you want

0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to punch the wall or something. How do you self

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 1>regulate when you've got to sit down and be you know,

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>yoda for someone.

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the beauty of it is when you

0:30:55.280 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 2>are so focused on listening and being with someone else,

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the focus is completely removed from whatever is Like sometimes

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I come out feeling better, not just because I've had

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a break from thinking about my own bullshit, but because

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I might feel like I've done some good or we've

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 2>had a breakthrough, or they're leaving the conversation better for that.

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I love that. That's so true.

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow, therapy for you is giving them therapy. Yeah, that's true,

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what about Lilian, do you have at a moment

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 1>where you're just doing it and you're not really feeling it,

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>but you need to find your way back into it.

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 3>So there's I mean there's certainly times where I've felt

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 3>tired or maybe distracted by something else going on or

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 3>that I need to do or something like that or

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 3>what you said, the thing where like they said something

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 3>and you realize they're doing it better than me, or

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 3>like today, you know, like that's happened a few times

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 3>with like parenting ones. You know, like you'll clients are,

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, my clients can be and I'm sure this

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 3>is representative of a lot of people like very hard

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 3>on themselves, parenting mothers especially, like so hard on themselves,

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 3>and they might be talking about something that they said

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 3>or did with their kids and they're like just you know,

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 3>judging themselves and you know crusius, you know, crucifying themselves

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 3>for it. And I'm thinking, no, that's like every other day,

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 3>what do you mean? So you know, like that might

0:32:40.360 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 3>be like things like that, and so sometimes when things

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 3>like that happen, I think it's helpful to you know,

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 3>have that kind of self disclosure with your clients to normal,

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, to help them understand that what they're judging

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 3>themselves for the level of judgment is unnecessary and judgment

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 3>is actually just going to keep them stuck. But in

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 3>terms of like, if something's going on in my own

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 3>life that I think is going to distract from doing

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 3>my work, psychologists actually have LIKET as part of their

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 3>regulatory you know, standards or obligations is to have supervision

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 3>with somebody else on a regular basis, so that those

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 3>times where you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed or stuck and

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 3>that might be personal or to do with a client

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 3>or you know, you might or that you know they're

0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 3>not achieving the change and you're like, I must be

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 3>doing something. Can you where am I being blocked in

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 3>this situation? So we do that on a regular basis,

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 3>is just part of our job, and that's super helpful

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think probably missing from a lot of other

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 3>industries just that person that you always have a sounding

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:58.680
<v Speaker 3>board and that can be one person or a group

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 3>of people. So that's really helpful. And then the other

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 3>thing is besides what Tiffany said, cause I actually think

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 3>that's really true. When you enter into your client space,

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I put I'm a professional in that space, and I

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 3>and I become you know, that person. You know, I'm

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 3>there to listen and to help, and you become immersed

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 3>in that and that helps you get through, you know,

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 3>in some ways, like you said, because it's so rewarding

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 3>whatever is on your mind.

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 1>This is going to sound Oh sorry, this is going

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 1>to sound ironic. Sorry to cut you off. I'll tell

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you finished. But coming from the bloke who has this

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 1>show and talks about all the stuff that we talk about,

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and this is for both of you. But we'll start

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with Lilian. At what point does analyzing and reanalyzing our

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.280
<v Speaker 1>life and our behavior and our outcomes and our intentions

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and our when does it go from being a good

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 1>thing to maybe not such a good thing? Like I

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like we can overanalyze the fuck out of everything.

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like, and then it's it's we almost back ourselves

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>into a corner where it's analysis paralysis, and it's like

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.919
<v Speaker 1>we're constantly finding fault in ourselves and everything we do.

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And like, I don't know, I think self help, personal development,

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 1>self awareness great and then not great, then not great,

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Like is there any kind of signs or symptoms that

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe we're fucking overthinking stuff too? Like I think sometimes

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 1>we underthink, but is there anything for either of you.

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll start with you though, Vilin like that is perhaps

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a symptom of this is becoming more of a negative

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>than a positive.

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that. I mean the symptoms are off

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:06.880
<v Speaker 3>in anxiety and self concept. Comparison self concept, well, I

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 3>mean comparison is part of that overthinking, you know, like like, yeah,

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:15.439
<v Speaker 3>self awareness is so great. You know, this is yours.

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 3>I always want to talk about this with UK because

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 3>it's obviously your topic. But like, self awareness is so important,

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 3>but you can go overboard, Like there's anxiety is functional,

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 3>but we can go overboard with anxiety, right, stress is functional,

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 3>but we can go over We can go overboard with anything.

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Anything functional can be dysfunctional. So, like, I think it's

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 3>helpful to ask yourself if you find yourself thinking a

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 3>lot about something, how is this helping me?

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 3>And is this leading to me doing something about it? Like,

0:36:54.719 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 3>because ruminating over something is a problem because it doesn't

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 3>lead to anything. It's just leads to more thinking. And

0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 3>thinking doesn't solve problems. Doing something solves problems. Sometimes things

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:14.400
<v Speaker 3>don't have solutions, And that's why people get stuck in

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:18.320
<v Speaker 3>a rumination cycle because they're thinking about stuff that's happened

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 3>in the past that they can't do anything about, or

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:25.560
<v Speaker 3>they're thinking about potential problems in the future that they

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 3>may or may not have some you know, any control over.

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 3>And so for problems that aren't solvable, I don't think

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 3>people have really good skills for that, and that's why

0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 3>they get stuck. Yeah, but the skill and the skills

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 3>are not easy skills. The skills aren't well, some of

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 3>them aren't. I suppose like you can just distract yourself.

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 3>That's like an easy skill, but it's not a really

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:55.239
<v Speaker 3>good solution for all the time. But the hard thing

0:37:55.400 --> 0:38:04.440
<v Speaker 3>is like things like acceptance. Yeah, thing is tolerating distress, yes,

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, which is kind of an acceptance skill as well.

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:11.520
<v Speaker 3>So you know those times where we don't know and

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 3>we're not going to or we want control but we

0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 3>don't have it, or we want to fix things but

0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>we don't have the power to do that, or we

0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 3>want to save a relationship but the other person doesn't

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:27.920
<v Speaker 3>want to. So you know, like those times where like

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 3>or you know, like those big problems that you know,

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:36.680
<v Speaker 3>political or war or climate change where we feel like, oh,

0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 3>I can't do anything about that, or you know it's

0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 3>too big or you know, those kinds of things. I

0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.080
<v Speaker 3>think that's what causes a lot of anxiety. The problems

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 3>that we can solve. You can solve, you know, like it's.

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the good questions is what is

0:38:54.480 --> 0:39:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the physiological consequence of this psychological obsession, Like what's happening

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in my body with all this rumination and this obsession. Tiff,

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>what are your thoughts on this jump in you with

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 1>your new glasses.

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I think for myself, I was thinking about it as

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Lily was talking. I think for myself it personally, it

0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:26.879
<v Speaker 2>often comes back to the ability to help much when

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I've tipped the scales to not being present and not

0:39:30.480 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 2>being with people. I've been thinking about this this week

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:35.879
<v Speaker 2>because I'm having a week where I'm feeling it where

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm always with people and it's awesome, but I'm with

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 2>people to be of service and I'm I'm very independent,

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 2>so I'm often finding myself intermittently realizing that I'm not

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:59.400
<v Speaker 2>with people enough just to be present all the time.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's when the rumination and the doing, because in

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:08.160
<v Speaker 2>those moments you feel those that kind of gap, that

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a level of emptiness or a level of like, oh,

0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 2>but what you know, And that wouldn't be everybody, but

0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it'd be It would relate to a lot

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 2>of people because we live in a world now where

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 2>we're also independent. We're also goal oriented, career oriented and

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:31.880
<v Speaker 2>focused and busy and living our own independent lives.

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yeah, And do you reckon that ties in? Sorry?

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you reckon that ties into our underlying belief I'm

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:47.440
<v Speaker 1>not saying you too necessarily, but generally speaking, our underlying

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:52.480
<v Speaker 1>belief in our culture typically is that success is about

0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:55.560
<v Speaker 1>all things that everyone can see, you know, like what

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 1>we have and earn and own and what we look like.

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And so we're so driven to have that job or

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 1>be in that position, or you know, to be able

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to go. What if that shit actually doesn't matter that

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:10.080
<v Speaker 1>much or maybe at all, you know, like being able

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:14.399
<v Speaker 1>to I mean, thinking about this a bit lately too,

0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>is like I sometimes feel this is gonna sound It's

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>just the truth. I don't know. I'm not going to

0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>think about how it sounds. I feel disappointed that I

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've underachieved in my life. I hope people

0:41:27.600 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 1>roll their eyes, but I really feel like in some

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 1>ways I have underachieved and then I feel a bit

0:41:33.360 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>sad or I feel a bit inferior or a bit whatever,

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and then not a lot. I feel that just sometimes,

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 1>but then other times, most times I feel somewhere between

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:49.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty good and overwhelmingly grateful for how good my life

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 1>is and how easy it is, and how like I

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>live in a great place with great people, and I

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have any real problems. You know. But it's funny.

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:00.359
<v Speaker 1>You can open a door a door or in your

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>brin and just go down to doc Hall and you're like, fuck,

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm literally making myself said, sitting at my own disk.

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. You know why that happens is because under stress,

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 3>we do tend to go back to those core beliefs

0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:20.440
<v Speaker 3>from way back then. So like, if you are feeling

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:24.799
<v Speaker 3>more overwhelmed or sad or stressed, that old belief of like, oh,

0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 3>this is what success is supposed to look like and

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 3>I haven't done that. Or you know a lot of

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 3>people that I see, like you said, they have this

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:36.840
<v Speaker 3>narrow view of success, but also this belief that you

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 3>have to be productive all the time, Like if you're

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:47.280
<v Speaker 3>not productive, you're wasting your time and it's bad and wrong,

0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:47.960
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.920
<v Speaker 1>To just isn't it. It's like a sign of.

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Week week as well. Yes, I hear that a lot. Yeah.

0:42:57.800 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 3>And so it's these internal beliefs where they come from

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:12.360
<v Speaker 3>our significant others, caregivers, society, you know, our culture, you know,

0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 3>people caring them about, pushing them a lot.

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I put up a post this morning which you may

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:21.680
<v Speaker 1>or may not have read, and it says I wrote

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 1>this years ago and I wheel it out probably twice

0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:27.959
<v Speaker 1>a year, and it says, stop looking for the right

0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>thing from the wrong person. So reckon. We do that

0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a bit like we I don't know, and that I

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:40.160
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily mean romantically, or it could be romantically. It

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:42.080
<v Speaker 1>could be a friend, that could be a colleague, it

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.360
<v Speaker 1>could be something at work. But I feel like sometimes

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:48.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a person and we try and make that person

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 1>fit the box that we want them to be in.

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:55.799
<v Speaker 1>I've done that a fair bit in lots of what

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, but there's all this internal wisdom going, no,

0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:02.400
<v Speaker 1>this isn't it's not necessarily that they're a bad person.

0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But you're just like, no, this ain't going to work,

0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:07.359
<v Speaker 1>this is not a good fit. This you know that

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.160
<v Speaker 1>person you know that makes.

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Me think of like this happens a lot too, where

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:19.800
<v Speaker 3>you know people around you and you don't really agree

0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:23.879
<v Speaker 3>with their beliefs and you don't really like how they've

0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 3>treated you. But if you ask, like, because so many

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:35.759
<v Speaker 3>people just judge themselves so harshly, I really think that's

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 3>such a central thing and a lot of problems that

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.719
<v Speaker 3>people have is just the self judgment. And if you

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 3>ask them, like, where does this judgment come from, they'll

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:48.600
<v Speaker 3>often cite that those people, those people that they don't

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 3>don't like or don't agree with, or have mistreated them.

0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:57.320
<v Speaker 3>So their internal voice is actually coming from a person

0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 3>that they don't actually agree with or like respecting.

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And also a person that they're aligned with.

0:45:05.520 --> 0:45:08.479
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's right, so it's like that that's a really

0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 3>good and yeah, they haven't realized that that's what's happening.

0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 3>And then does it actually make sense? There's no, there's

0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:21.320
<v Speaker 3>no congruence between that. So where that can be helpful?

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to ask you a hard question and then, Lilyan,

0:45:25.640 --> 0:45:29.440
<v Speaker 1>So the hard question is, and maybe this is not

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you too, but it's a lot of people, and it's

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely done this over my life. Why do we

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:38.000
<v Speaker 1>try to get approval from people who don't care about us,

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>who love us or even what do you think that's about?

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>That seeking of approval? I don't mean attention, but like,

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and I've told you stories of when I've done a

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.239
<v Speaker 1>gig to two hundred people and there's one person that

0:45:51.280 --> 0:45:54.319
<v Speaker 1>looks like they hate me, one hundred and ninety nine

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:56.520
<v Speaker 1>look like they like me. All I want to do

0:45:56.640 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 1>is make the one that doesn't like me like me.

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:03.919
<v Speaker 2>What do you think that's about, Tiff, Because I think

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that well, I think there's a part of us that

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:15.959
<v Speaker 2>recognizes that if someone doesn't like us, then they see

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:18.439
<v Speaker 2>the part of us that we actually know we don't

0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:19.359
<v Speaker 2>like about us.

0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, they can see the bad bit that the

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 1>others can't, and you automatically think that their criticism of

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you or dislike of you is well founded.

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like, well that exists. If someone doesn't like me,

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:38.239
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason, And maybe there's a part of me

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.840
<v Speaker 2>that thinks it knows that reason because it's got beliefs

0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 2>about whatever.

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And if they don't like me, it must be me.

0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny I think when you were talking before,

0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:55.720
<v Speaker 2>like we live in this dopamine rich, serotonin poor life,

0:46:55.800 --> 0:47:00.680
<v Speaker 2>but our conscious mind, our thinking, our logical self doesn't

0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 2>walk around going oh dope, mean don't mean dope, men.

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.799
<v Speaker 2>It just goes if feel good, do this, feel good?

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Behave like this, feel good? And then you wake up

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:12.000
<v Speaker 2>one day and there's no dopeman there and you're like, oh,

0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:13.000
<v Speaker 2>don't feel good?

0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Right right, yeah, Lilian? Why do we seek approval from

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.920
<v Speaker 1>people who actually don't like us or know us or

0:47:24.960 --> 0:47:28.440
<v Speaker 1>care about us? Why does that matter to us? Like

0:47:28.480 --> 0:47:31.799
<v Speaker 1>my mum will go, you're amazing. I'm like, no, I'm not.

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't even believe it.

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.240
<v Speaker 3>My son says that to me other time as well.

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:38.400
<v Speaker 1>The person I love the most can tell me the

0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>best thing. I'm like, you only say that because you're

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.080
<v Speaker 1>my mum. Be quiet, and then I'll go and pay

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:47.040
<v Speaker 1>attention to the vicious fuck with who attacks me online.

0:47:48.080 --> 0:47:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's this sense of like, I know that when

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I ask my son, like because I always tell him

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:56.200
<v Speaker 3>he's amazing, or my daughter, but my son doesn't believe.

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:59.760
<v Speaker 3>My daughter believes me maybe too much. My son doesn't.

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 3>He's like, well, there's a sense of like we we

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:06.719
<v Speaker 3>are obligated to say that because we're their parents, so

0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:10.920
<v Speaker 3>we have to say nice things about them. But really

0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:17.160
<v Speaker 3>what's what's actually real is that you know we're in

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 3>the best position to say things about them. I think. Look,

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:25.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, at our core, like you know, if we

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:30.640
<v Speaker 3>go like global about it, humans like are wired to

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:39.200
<v Speaker 3>connect and belong and you know, want close, supportive relationships,

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 3>positive relationships with people. So it really doesn't feel good

0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:49.000
<v Speaker 3>when somebody doesn't like you, or you're not included, or

0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:52.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, like you get clues whether you know it's

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:56.520
<v Speaker 3>perceived or real or non verbal or verbal, that you're

0:48:56.560 --> 0:49:03.839
<v Speaker 3>not wanted. It doesn't feel good. I guess I mean

0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:07.520
<v Speaker 3>that happens to me. There are people that I think, oh,

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:10.279
<v Speaker 3>I get a sense that they don't like me, and

0:49:11.560 --> 0:49:14.400
<v Speaker 3>sometimes I'm like, sometimes I'm like, ah, I think I

0:49:14.440 --> 0:49:16.120
<v Speaker 3>put my foot in my mouth, and I can kind

0:49:16.120 --> 0:49:19.200
<v Speaker 3>of like, I feel like they're being a bit judgmental

0:49:19.239 --> 0:49:23.000
<v Speaker 3>based on that one incident, but I could I get

0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:29.160
<v Speaker 3>why they might be like less friendly. And other times

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I don't care, Like I know, I'm a

0:49:35.360 --> 0:49:39.360
<v Speaker 3>good person, I have good values. My intentions are always

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say always mostly always good, unless I'm like

0:49:47.440 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 3>mad at you, like because you're driving badly because that

0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 3>happens a lot. Like yeah, in interpersonal situations, I'm like,

0:49:58.040 --> 0:50:02.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm always open and friendly and I like people. You know,

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.360
<v Speaker 3>you can tell when people like people, Like I'm somebody

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.840
<v Speaker 3>who likes people and like wants to know lots of people.

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm interested in lots of people. So if somebody doesn't

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 3>like me that, I'm like, it's a bit confusing, I

0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:16.759
<v Speaker 3>think sometimes or like disconcerting, But I don't dwell on

0:50:16.800 --> 0:50:21.600
<v Speaker 3>it because I feel okay as a person.

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, but.

0:50:23.320 --> 0:50:26.800
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't That doesn't mean it feels good. Okay, it

0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 3>doesn't feel good. I want everybody to like me, but

0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:33.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I'm also realistic, like that's not going

0:50:33.880 --> 0:50:35.360
<v Speaker 3>to happen. We don't tell it, and I don't like

0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 3>everybody's not Why is why does everyone have to like me? Like?

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:44.439
<v Speaker 1>You know so well, we love having you on. It's

0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.279
<v Speaker 1>always good to chat to you.

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully you guys like me.

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Question.

0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:50.759
<v Speaker 3>I know, Craig, you didn't let me.

0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm ah now money kidding. That was a great chat.

0:50:56.640 --> 0:50:59.200
<v Speaker 1>That was doctor Lillian and I had a chat alien

0:50:59.200 --> 0:51:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and she's gonna ask me, but we might come back

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and do that.

0:51:01.880 --> 0:51:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we can do it next time. Yeah, it'll be fun.

0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, Tiff, I heard you've got a podcast. What is
