Episode #60: The First Step to Improving Your Mental Health




Dr. Caroline Leaf Podcast show

Summary: I want to make mental health a priority this year. So what's the first step to improving your mental health? Finding and understanding your unique identity! In this podcast I will discuss why identity is the very first thing we need to focus on in order to improve our mental health, and how to begin discovering your unique identity.    I am making 2019 the year of mental health! Each month I will tackle a specific problem, issue, and concept related to mental ill health. I will be discussing major issues in the current mental health system AND how to find healing for yourself or a loved one. Starting this January we will be tackling the issue of identity in my PERFECT YOU book club! So how does this January book club work? 1. You will need to get my book THE PERFECT YOU (on sale now for $12.99- save 35%: https://store.drleaf.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-perfect-you) which is also available on Kindle and Audible. 2.
