014 The Role of Psychology

014 The Role of Psychology

Author: Clare Dimond May 20, 2024 Duration: 18:19

Psychology could be playing an enormous role in understanding what we are. And yet it's falling short, and that fact is contributing to the mental health crisis that we are finding ourselves in.The statistics are dire: in the last 20 years, antidepressant use in the U.S. has increased fourfold. 25% of people in Europe now suffer from depression or anxiety. Worldwide, depression is now the #1 cause of disability. 300 million people suffer from anxiety and $8 billion a year are spent on mental health medication. 

There is clearly something wrong. It shouldn't be the case that human bodyminds need medication to live and flourish. So what's going on? In this episode, we’re going to look at what psychology is, its shortcomings and ways to overcome them.

What is Covered: 

-What psychology is and how it currently looks at identity

-Why psychology is falling short of understanding how the mind works

-The dangers of unquestioning identity

-How securing the unquestioned identity contributes to the mental health crisis

-Why the absolute focus on feelings is so unhelpful in the healing process

-The role of medication in this confusion about the mind

-The path to revolutionising mental health

There's a quiet sense many of us carry, a feeling that the constant chase for better strategies in work, health, and life is missing the point. Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond speaks directly to that intuition. Hosted by Clare Dimond, this podcast moves beyond the usual self-improishment advice to explore a foundational shift in how we experience thought itself. It’s for anyone who suspects that real peace and clarity aren't another hack away, but emerge from a different understanding of our own minds. Conversations here aren't about adding more techniques to your routine; they gently point you toward the innate resilience and well-being that get obscured by stress and overthinking. Whether you're navigating business decisions, personal fitness goals, or mental quietude, this podcast offers a space to consider how a change in perspective alters everything. You'll find episodes that feel like a series of quiet revelations, stripping away complexity to reveal the simplicity of a mind operating freely, without the struggle we so often assume is mandatory. It’s an invitation to stop seeking a superpower and to start recognizing the one you’ve always had.
