He describes how the foundation of mental health is an understanding of one\u2019s own mind and the specific questions to ask in order to explore the conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves. He describes how this process can be done either on our own, through journaling, meditation and structured thought, or in therapy with the help of a licensed professional. He also explains how unprocessed trauma can short-circuit the process and how to prevent that, and the role of friendships and other relational support systems in the journey of self-exploration for mental health. People of all ages and those with and without self-introspection and therapy experience ought to benefit from the information in this episode.<\/p>\n<p>#HubermanLab #Science #MentalHealth<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to our sponsors<br \/>\nAG1: https:\/\/drinkag1.com\/huberman<br \/>\nBetterHelp: https:\/\/betterhelp.com\/huberman<br \/>\nWaking Up: https:\/\/wakingup.com\/huberman<br \/>\nMomentous: https:\/\/livemomentous.com\/huberman<\/p>\n<p>Huberman Lab Social &amp; Website<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nThreads: https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@hubermanlab<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@hubermanlab<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andrew-huberman<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/hubermanlab.com<br \/>\nNewsletter: https:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/neural-network<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul Conti<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/drpaulconti.com<br \/>\nPacific Premier Group: https:\/\/pacificpremiergroup.com<br \/>\nTrauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GVLHXw<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-paul-m-conti-845074216<\/p>\n<p>Resources<br \/>\nGuest Series | Dr. Paul Conti: How to Understand &amp; Assess Your Mental Health (Episode 1): https:\/\/www.hubermanlab.com\/episode\/guest-series-dr-paul-conti-how-to-understand-and-assess-your-mental-health<br \/>\nGuest Series | Dr. Paul Conti: How to Improve Your Mental Health (Episode 2): https:\/\/www.hubermanlab.com\/episode\/guest-series-dr-paul-conti-how-to-improve-your-mental-health<br \/>\nGuest Series | Dr. Paul Conti: How to Build and Maintain Healthy Relationships (Episode 3): https:\/\/www.hubermanlab.com\/episode\/guest-series-dr-paul-conti-how-to-build-and-maintain-healthy-relationships<br \/>\nThe Iceberg Model: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LDNCn1<br \/>\nPillars of Mental Health: https:\/\/bit.ly\/48y0cOo<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps<br \/>\n00:00:00 Self Care<br \/>\n00:02:37 Sponsors: BetterHelp &amp; Waking Up<br \/>\n00:05:34 What is Self-Care?, Foundation, Self-Understanding<br \/>\n00:13:18 Life Narratives<br \/>\n00:15:24 Journaling, Self-Inquiry &amp; Therapy<br \/>\n00:24:41 Unconscious Mind, Salience &amp; Journaling; Panic Attacks<br \/>\n00:28:20 Self-Inquiry; Grief &amp; Death<br \/>\n00:33:23 Sponsor: AG1<br \/>\n00:34:39 Self-Harm, Hopelessness &amp; Therapy<br \/>\n00:37:27 Apprehension of Unconscious Mind Exploration<br \/>\n00:42:34 Mental Health Map: Cupboards, Agency &amp; Gratitude, Generative Drive<br \/>\n00:54:18 Structure of Self, Unconscious Mind, Abscess Analogy<br \/>\n01:01:57 Exploring the Unconscious Mind, Curiosity, \u201cQuestion the Givens\u201d<br \/>\n01:10:48 Conscious Mind Exploration; Self Curiosity, Busyness<br \/>\n01:19:20 Exploring Defense Mechanisms, Character Structure<br \/>\n01:24:54 Self &amp; Character Structure, \u201cTending the Garden\u201d<br \/>\n01:32:45 Function of Self Cupboards<br \/>\n01:35:50 Self-Awareness Exploration, Mirror Meditation<br \/>\n01:38:34 Defense Mechanisms in Action &amp; Self-Inquiry, Patterns<br \/>\n01:47:15 Salience Exploration, Grounding Meditation<br \/>\n01:52:37 Behavior &amp; Self-Reflection; Phantom Driver Analogy<br \/>\n02:00:14 Self &amp; Strivings; Empowerment &amp; Humility<br \/>\n02:09:07 Challenges in Certain Life Domains<br \/>\n02:17:49 Friendships &amp; Support, Social Media<br \/>\n02:23:50 Anger &amp; Self-Care<br \/>\n02:34:18 Self-Care &amp; Challenges<br \/>\n02:38:43 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify &amp; Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Social Media, Momentous, Neural Network Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac &#8211; https:\/\/www.blabacphoto.com<\/p>\n<p>The Huberman Lab podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor\/patient relationship is formed.
