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.

He's reimagined what it means to be authentic.

Here are 9 controversial neuro-hacks that make him unshakable:🧵 Born in Russia. Raised by a physicist father.

Lex studied at MIT, worked on autonomous vehicles, and taught at one of the most elite institutions on Earth.

He knew his truth lay deeper in his psyche.

He craved a raw, unscripted exploration of the human experience.

Why High Emotional Intelligence Is Destroying High Performers (and How to Reverse It)

The moment you became emotionally intelligent, you lost yourself.

Here are 10 MUST-KNOW facts that will save you from permanent disconnection ...🧵
People think emotional intelligence is about wisdom.
But when you're a child, emotional intelligence is about survival.

You become:

•The good one
•The talented one
•The responsible one

And you live out an identity that pleases others.

Your anxiety didn’t start in adulthood.
It started when you became "The Good One."

People-pleasing is harmful.

It rewires your brain and fractures your sense of self.
Here's what most therapists won't tell you: 🧵 Being a people pleaser is an adaptation that hides your true self.

Over time, people-pleasing:

1. Reshapes your brain for survival.
2. Destroys your sense of identity.
3. Sets you up for chronic anxiety.

Neuroscientist Joe Dispenza spent 30+ years researching how to rewire the brain.

His 7 mind-blowing insights will help you overcome anxiety.

So, if you're stuck in fear, stress, or overthinking—Dispenza's method will change your life:🧵 Insight #1--

Dr. Joe Dispenza says up to 90% of doctor visits in the Western world are linked to emotional distress.

Because your thoughts trigger your biology, your thinking messes up your body chemistry.

Not the other way around.

If you live in mental stress long enough → your physiology changes for the worse. (even if you hit the gym 5 days a week!)

Jung predicted the modern identity crisis 100 years ago.

And he left a roadmap for escaping it.

This isn’t some vague philosophical idea—it’s a concrete psychological process with real-world consequences.

Here’s Jung’s warning, and how to break free...🧵 Most people are stuck on what I call the Default Path:

School → Job → Success → Burnout → "Wtf now?"
You did everything “right.”

But it still feels wrong.

Why?

Because that path builds a life for you, not from you.

I cured my crippling anxiety without meds.

The $79 billion anxiety industry is terrified of this.

My anxiety dropped 85% in 30 days using these 5 ancient mental models.

Here's what they're not telling you....🧵
First mental model:

The Stoic Dichotomy of Control

It tells us 98% of what we worry about is COMPLETELY out of our control.

This idea comes from one of Rome's greatest philosophers--

Epictetus (a former slave).

He taught that freedom comes ONLY from recognizing what's in your control.

I'm 63.

I blamed age for slowing down...

But age wasn’t the issue.

Something deeper was silently draining me.

Here are 7 ways to stop burnout, cure anxiety, and conquer depression. (before it becomes irreversible!)
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.

Your SEROTONIN is low, and it’s destroying your mental health.

It’s the hidden reason you feel burned out, anxious, and depressed.

Most people think anxiety is caused by indecision.

But it goes deeper.

FOBO--Fear of Better Options--is silently hijacking your mind.

Here's Francis Lucille's 9-step protocol to break free...🧵 FOBO is a modern-day paralysis.

You're flooded with choices:

• Which project to pursue
• Which job to take
• Which niche to build in
• Even what to eat or watch

But choosing one means rejecting all others.

You end up, NEVER acting.

This is Gabor Maté.

He's spent 12 years treating addicts in Vancouver's most notorious drug district.

And he discovered why our entire approach to addiction and trauma is scientifically wrong.

Here's what it taught me and how to reverse trauma (backed by science): 🧵 In 12 years treating addicts in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, Dr. Maté never met a single female patient who hadn't been sexually abused as a child.

NONE of the men escaped severe childhood trauma either.

Who chooses that kind of beginning?

All 500 guests at Steve Jobs's memorial service got his autobiography.

Paramahansa Yogananda heals what doctors can't.

It's impossible to be psychologically trapped, stressed & anxious after reading his teachings.

If you want to be a high performer, read this: 🧵
The man behind the book:

Paramahansa Yogananda.

He came to America from India in 1920.

In 1947, he gave a lecture about habits that changed how thousands of people lived.

He shared ONE idea that made Steve Jobs rethink everything about design and life.

The most powerful mental health skill you can develop:

Your Imagination.

But therapists and gurus completely misunderstand how it actually works.

CBT, meditation, and journaling—most miss the point.

Here's why it's the missing piece to unlock your mind: 🧵
When Eckhart Tolle had his breakthrough at 29, he spent two years sitting on park benches in a state of bliss.

People thought he was crazy.

What he discovered about "presence" wasn't just spiritual—it was a fundamental insight into how consciousness shapes reality.

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 7-step protocol 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...

HOT TAKE:

Traditional therapy is a SCAM for 99% of high-achievers.

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

They were all suffering from one SAME problem.

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?

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.

The most powerful metaphor about human mind:

Plato's Cave.

It's the true root cause why 99% of people are stressed, depressed, lost and feel trapped in life...

Here's how to tell if you're in Plato's Cave and a 7-step protocol to break free today: 🧵 Plato imagined prisoners chained in a cave since birth, facing a blank wall.

Behind them: a fire casting shadows from puppets.

The prisoners believed these shadows were reality because it's all they've ever known.

This isn't ancient philosophy - it's your daily life.

The most systematically ignored modern crisis isn't loneliness.

It's turning our backs on men's mental health.

Millions suffer and are expected to "tough it out" and "man up."

Here's what researchers DON"T want you to know ... 🧵 The stats:

1. Men die by suicide 4X the rate of women.
2. There are more homeless men than women.
3. The majority of men never reach out for help.
4. Depression studies show men suffer silently.

Behind each statistic lies a personal story of someone who's probably a great guy full of potential and suffering emotionally.

This is a tragedy.

If you're stuck in fight-or-flight, your brain is working against you.

Neuroscience proves your brain can become addicted to stress—causing chronic dysregulation.

To fix it, you need to heal your brain.

Here's how stress hijacks your brain and how to reverse it:
First off, what is the fight-or-flight response?

It’s your body’s survival response.

It kicks in during perceived danger, releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

This is ok in short bursts, but when it’s persistent, it leads to longterm chronic diseases.

Let's explore this↓

I’m 63.

Anxiety controlled me for years so I turned to holistic psychology.

After 8,000+ hours of therapy as a CBT & expressive psychologist, my toolkit is now full of powerful mind-body healing hacks.

Here are the top 7 that will change your life: First off, stress is healing:

Here's why:

The human nervous system is anti-fragile.

It responds to stress as an opportunity for:

• growth
• strength
• resilience

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...

The most dangerous modern diseases aren't:

Obesity.
Depression.
Alzheimer.

This one silent pandemic is the worst.

And it worsens the three above.

Here it is and how to cure yourself (according to a Harvard psychologist): Loneliness is one of the most terrifying epidemics in the 21st century...

• 60% of adults rarely feel connected.

And this number is increasing!

• Teens spend 70% less time with friends than 20 years ago.

• Men with no close friends have gone from 3% to 15% since 1990.

Why does this matter?
