Mastering Your Mindset and Emotions: A Philosopher-Therapist's Guide to Living Fully – Byron Athene

Byron Athene is a philosopher, counselling psychotherapist, certified mindset coach, NLP practitioner, clinical supervisor, trainer, hypnotherapist, and author. He has been interested in philosophy and psychology since 1991. He has lived with a debilitating stutter his whole life – and found refuge in office jobs until he developed a growth mindset and decided to put what he had learned into practice.

He helps people resolve issues and achieve their goals by integrating ancient and contemporary philosophy with cutting-edge psychology.

In this episode of Empowered Conversations, we talk about:

· How living with a stutter shaped his relationship with himself

· What made him leave a 20+ year career to pursue his calling

· The biggest problem people face – and why they struggle to solve it

· Why we exist – and the point of asking that question

· Why anxiety is the most common issue therapists deal with

· Why we feel negative emotions – and their purpose

· How to healthily let go of the past

· Why we get in our own way – and how to stop

· Why we focus on the one negative thing

· The difference between thinking and overthinking

· How to think more rationally when emotions are running the show

· What psychoeducation is – and why it's powerful

· How to get more out of life

· One small thing you can do today to start mastering your mindset and emotions

If you are ready to stop getting in your own way – this conversation is for you.

You are not broken. You are just running on old software. You can learn to think more rationally, feel less controlled by your emotions, and stop getting in your own way. And it starts with one small step.
