Have you ever been told to suppress your emotions?
While you were growing up, people may have told you that it's wrong to feel a certain way. This is also carried onto life experiences in school, in your career, or simply everyday life. This is one of the reasons why Christopher Lee Maher has turned from a Former Navy Seal who had also endured intense physical, mental, and emotional stress as a child to a Mental Health Expert.
Kashif and Christopher discuss how difficult it is to treat physical illnesses if your mental health is not in a good state as it affects your perception. This is where the concept of "fight or flight" response comes in which Christopher shares stories from his childhood until his Navy Seal days which led to PTSD.
They talked about how to maneuver and manage stress response, and as well as the following topics:
- Accumulated stress and daily stress
- Stress Management and finding permanent solutions to them
- Escaping The “Fight Or Flight” State Of Mind
- Modern day sources of stress and how to deal with them
- Seeing the Bigger Picture, and Knowing the Root Cause of Stress
- Expression of your emotions and your authentic self
