Your brain was NEVER designed for modern-day Western society.

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, here are 5 reasons why you:

-Can't sleep
-Overthink
-And, feel exhausted.

AND, the secret sauce to break free....🧵 Anxiety isn’t a “disorder.”

It's your imagination turned upside down.

Flip it--and your life becomes unimaginable success.

You’re not indecisive. You’re not “too nice.”

You’re stuck in a trauma loop of people-pleasing and overthinking.

It’s not your personality.

It’s your nervous system replaying old survival scripts.

Here’s the truth—(most therapists won't tell you) 🧵 Overthinking is thought to be a bad habit.

It’s not.

It’s a survival mechanism.

Same with people-pleasing.

People-pleasing isn't a kind of gracious personality trait.
It's a way you micro-manage your body's reaction to perceived threats.

Both overthinking and people-pleasing are reactions to perceived trauma.

This woman heals what therapists can't:

Byron Katie.

She spent years depressed and suicidal until one realization...

Now, with only 4 questions, she has healed millions from anxiety, stress, and overthinking.

Here's her philosophy: 🧵 Before her awakening, Byron Katie's life was a nightmare.

She was clinically depressed, agoraphobic, and addicted to alcohol. For nearly 10 years, she could barely leave her bedroom.

Self-hatred consumed her so completely she slept on the floor, feeling unworthy of a bed.

How does one page change a life?

I was living in a Tibetan monastery when I wrote a note about wanting to help the Dalai Lama’s people.

That single act set off a chain of events that led me into his presence — and into an experience of grace I’ll never forget.

Here’s my story 🧵
While living in Tushita Monastery, I met a man who told me:

“Write a short note about who you are and why you wish to help.”

I did. I submitted it to the Dalai Lama’s palace headquarters.

To my surprise, the request was granted.

Alchemy wasn’t about turning lead into gold.
It was about transforming the psyche through images.

And this is the key most people miss about healing anxiety.

Read on if you want an anxiety-free life...🧵 Jung spent 16 years painting visions in The Red Book.

He wasn’t “just” drawing.

He was performing alchemy on his own mind—

turning chaos into order, pain into meaning, fragments into wholeness.

Here's the story of Jung's mandala drawings in 1928...

Most people think thought creates reality.

It doesn’t.

Joe Dispenza was only HALF RIGHT.

The missing piece? IS IN THIS THREAD 🧵...
High achievers are obsessed with quantum leaps.

But the real leap isn’t thought → reality.

It’s shadow → wholeness.

Why high achievers are trapped in Jung’s Shadow—
and how it's KILLING their creativity.

Here are 5 steps to see if you're stuck in the Shadow...
[And how to reverse it]. 🧵
The Shadow is your exiled part of you.

It's your:

• Anger
• Desires
• Fears of failure

As a high achiever, you can't escape it without guidance.

I've spent over 20 years as a Harvard-trained psychologist helping CEOs, high achievers & founders worth $100M+.

They all face ONE same issue.

If you're burnt out, stressed, and your immune system is in chaos, therapy won't help.

Here's the protocol I created: 🧵
Stress, anxiety, and even burnout aren’t just about “too much work.”

They come from a split WITHIN you:

The part you show the world (ego) vs. the part you exile (shadow).

Your nervous system carries what your mind refuses to face.

Let me explain:

In my 30s and 40s...

• My mind was a maze.
• I made reckless choices.
• Anxiety trapped me for years.

Then, I read Martin Heidegger's philosophies, and it became impossible to be trapped, stressed, and anxious.

Here's his 4-step protocol to unlocking mental freedom: 🧵 - Freud saw anxiety as repressed conflict.
- Jung saw it as the shadow pressing for recognition.

Both believed anxiety signals something deeper.

But Heidegger went further...

Your anxiety didn't start at 35.

It comes from your mother’s trembling hands when you were 2.

Here are 5 ways to know if your anxiety started when you were a toddler.👇
Toddlers don’t need words to absorb trauma.

They inherit it through gestures, gazes, and tone of voice.

A sigh of despair.
Averted eyes.
A frozen body.

These are messages--and strong ones--toddler's read, "the world is unsafe."

Harvard taught me how to treat the mind.

But the Dalai Lama taught me how to listen to it.

One encounter changed everything I knew about anxiety and fear.

Here's the ancient wisdom Western medicine is hiding from you—and why so many healing methods fail: 🧵

I earned my PhD at 32.

And I did my postdoc at Harvard.

I knew the science. I had the credentials.

But something in my soul still felt tense, fragmented, incomplete...

Your brain was NEVER designed for modern-day Western society.

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, here are 5 reasons why you can't:

-Sleep
-Overthink
-And, feel exhausted.

Read this NOW if you want to be free....🧵 Anxiety isn’t a “disorder.”

It’s a powerful signal meant to wake you up from the hypnotic trance of modern-day living.

It’s telling you that you’ve drifted away from your true self and what it means to be truly human.

If you think you have Trauma, science says it didn't start with you.

Unhealed trauma doesn't just disappear—it gets passed down through DNA as self-sabotage, cycles of failure, and toxic relationships.

Here's what science says about generational trauma (and how to break the cycle):
First, what is inherited trauma?

It’s the psychological and biological footprint of your family’s unresolved trauma.

It's passed down through generations as unexplained health issues, anxiety, and emotional stuckness.
Here's where it gets interesting...

I'm a Harvard-trained psychologist who works with ultra-successful high-net-worth individuals...

And I hate to break it to you, but the cost of overthinking and anxiety is the life you could have lived.

Here's the protocol I created that actually works: 🧵
Most of my clients are accomplished professionals — dentists, doctors, and company founders with impressive careers.

Despite their success, they struggle with overthinking and procrastination. They can't seem to shake it.

But why?

"Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75." Benjamin Franklin

Most are walking-dead:

• Stuck in your parents' dream
• Lost in soulless jobs
• Tangled in traumas

If this is you, here are Carl Jung's 7 laws for finding your purpose:

1/ Your Purpose Is Expiring Soon. Carl Jung identified 2 distinct life phases:

- 1st half: Build your life, achieve goals, establish identity
- 2nd half: Find meaning, integrate shadow, seek wholeness

Many midlife crises occur when people cling on for too long.

Lucian Freud didn’t just paint people.

He entered their psyche.

Here’s the untold story of Freud’s great-grandson...

And, what he reveals about your anxiety...🧵
Born in 1922, Lucian Freud inherited

Sigmund Freud's passion for emotions and the unconscious.

But he chose NOT to study people in the consulting room.

He chose to paint them in his studio.

You don't have a "change is hard" problem.

You have a comfort problem.

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, I've found most people would rather stay miserable than feel temporarily uncomfortable.

Here's the science behind why you're stuck (and how to break free):
Your brain is literally wired to keep you stuck.

Status Quo Bias makes you overestimate the pain of change and underestimate your ability to adapt.

Researchers Samuelson & Zeckhauser found we'll choose familiar misery over unfamiliar possibility every single time.

I'm a Harvard-trained psychologist

When I finished my Ph.D, I traveled to Tibet to fulfill my dream of crossing the Himalaya

After years of working with the Tibetan and Dalai Lama, I've collected some timeless wisdom the West has forgotten.

These 5 ideas will change your life: I worked for the Dalai Lama, advocating for Tibetans through Amnesty International.

I also met my husband at Tibet House NYC, and a Rinpoche blessed our union in our backyard.

The Tibetans have a special place in my heart.

Here're 5 valuable lessons they've taught me:

I'm a 63-year-old Harvard psychologist who studied consciousness with the Dalai Lama.

After 40 years treating patients, I finally understood something profound:

Your imagination is the ultimate solution to your anxiety, stress and depression.

THREAD 🧵
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

— Albert Einstein

As a Harvard psychologist who worked with the Dalai Lama, I learned…

Why, despite horrendous traumas, the Tibetans are immune to anxiety, chronic stress, and the depression epidemics...

Here's the ancient wisdom Western medicine is hiding from you:

THREAD
Mental illness is a silent killer in Western society:

• 78% report daily anxiety.
• 1 in 3 are chronically lonely.
• Depression tripled since 2020.

These trends are mostly in young adults (18-29) and the elderly (65+).

They are staggering.

The most glorified and encouraged mental illness millions are suffering:

Chronic Lying.

It's literally destroying your brain, relationships, and even causing Alzheimer's.

Here's the science behind humanity's favorite addiction: 🧵 First, let's be clear what lying actually is.

A lie isn't just an untruth.

For centuries, people taught their children the earth was the center of the universe. That wasn't a lie—they believed it.

For something to be a lie, you must KNOW it's false.
