After analyzing 500+ anxious clients, I found the cause behind most chronic anxiety loops.

It’s not trauma, stress, or overthinking.

It’s a SINGLE morning habit almost everyone does without realizing it... 🧵
(And, the psychological cost is staggering) Right when you wake up, your brain is in a fragile transition state.

1. The Salience Network is calibrating.
2. The DMN is still half-dreaming.
3. Blood pressure hasn’t stabilized yet.
4. Your imaginative system is wide open.

But then you do something catastrophic…

The most encouraged mental illness millions are suffering from...

Chronic Lying.

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

Here's the science behind humanity's FAVORITE addiction: 🧵 Fact #1: The first victim of lying is the LIER.

2024 data is BLUNT: across multiple studies (including day-to-day tracking), lying reliably drops self-esteem and increases negative emotion—even when the lie is “small” or meant to help someone.

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Chronic Procrastination.

It's why you're stressed, anxious, and depressed, and why your immune system is in chaos.

Here's Andrew Huberman's 7-step protocol to escape the prison of procrastination: 🧵 First, let's understand what really happens in your brain when you're procrastinating.

It's a dopamine problem.

Huberman discovered that without sufficient baseline dopamine, you literally CAN'T feel motivated—no matter how hard you try.

I'm 64.

When I was young, I wasted years lost, anxious, and depressed…

Then I found Friedrich Nietzsche's "3 Metamorphoses", and it literally reprogrammed my reality.

This took me 40 years to realize. I'll teach you in less than a minute: 🧵
Nietzsche believes we are one of the 3 Metamorphoses of the Human Spirit:

• Lion
• Child
• Camel

Here's what each means, and why they matter:

The most dangerous thinking …

Isn’t overthinking.

It’s something far more common… and it’s probably ruining your brain right now.

Here’s what it is—and why it’s worse than you’ve been told: 🧵 Overthinking is harmful.

But there's a THINKING STYLE that does even more damage.

Some believe it's anxiety and stress. Nope.

It's called self-abandonment, and it
appears as chronic self-sabotage.

Most people think they’re “just stressed” or “bad at boundaries.”

Nope. Your nervous system is trapped in a Skinner Box.

B.F. Skinner used random rewards to keep rats pressing a lever until they collapsed.

Modern life does the same thing to humans.

Here’s how to tell if you’re in a Skinner Box—and a 3-step protocol to start breaking free today: ↓ Skinner built a controlled chamber where a rat pressed a lever for food.

He measured every variable and every response.
He found, within days, the rats were hooked.

They kept pressing levers for food, even when they were exhausted.

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, and incomplete...

This man who heals what doctors can't:

Jiddu Krishnamurti.

It's impossible to be psychologically trapped, stressed, or anxious after understanding his teachings.

Here's his 5-step approach to unlocking mental freedom: 🧵 At age 14, the Theosophical Society declared Krishnamurti the next World Teacher.

By 27, he was set to lead one of the largest spiritual organizations in the world.

Then he did something that shocked everyone...

Most people think healing childhood trauma requires years of therapies, pills or courses.

Nope. Your body needs a system reset.

Your vagus nerve is key to undoing decades of damage, yet 99% of people ignore it.

This took me 40 years to learn, I'll explain in 2 minutes: 🧵 Trauma is not stored in your memories.

It's trapped in your nervous system—keeping you stuck in "survival mode" 24/7.

Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.

Here's why:

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Overthinking and underacting.

It's why you're stressed, depressed and your immune system is always in chaos.

Here's Eckhart Tolle's way to escape the prison of overthinking: 🧵
Most people don't realize that unnecessary negative mind activity generates a significant part of their unhappiness.

Overthinking isn't just annoying - it's physically damaging your body...

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...
