Episode 107: The Brain Can Change and Grow Even With A Diagnosis like Autism, Anxiety, or Depression
Mar 24, 2021
My guest this week is Dr.
Caroline Leaf, a communication pathologist and cognitive
neuroscientist with a Masters and Ph.D. in Communication Pathology.
Since the early 1980s, Dr. Leaf has researched the mind-brain
connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of
memory. During her years in clinical practice and work with
thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home
country of South Africa and in the US, she developed her theory of
how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes
that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of
individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), learning
disabilities, ADHD, autism, and even issues like anxiety and
depression. Dr. Leaf is the bestselling author of multiple books,
including her newest release,
Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess. She is currently conducting
clinical trials using the 5-step program she developed to further
demonstrate the effectiveness of mind-directed techniques to help
relieve problems such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive
thoughts.
In this episode, Dr. Leaf and I discuss how to change your brain by
changing your mind through mind-directed techniques taught in her
new book,
Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess. Dr. Leaf shares with the audience
how her techniques like “Neurocycling” and “Brain-building” can be
used to relieve mental health problems such as anxiety and
depression and to improve developmental and learning disabilities.
