Bill of Emotional Rights - Dr. Ardeshir Mehran (end depression and emptiness)

Linda Bjork/Dr. Ardeshir Mehran Season 5 Episode 10

Dr. Ardeshir Mehran spent decades studying "What do people need to be complete?" and asking "Why does depression take so long to heal?"  His answer came in the form of a revolutionary Bill of Emotional Rights.   Dr. Mehran is a psychologist, bestselling author, behavioral researcher, and the founder of the Bill of Emotional Rights.  You can reach Dr. Mehran at his websites  https://www.humanworkstudio.com and https://ardeshirmehran.com

Some of the highlights Dr. Mehran shares:

  • What do people need to be complete?
  • What is depression and why does it take so long to heal?
  • High achievers have a higher than average level of depression
  • What are we missing?  What are we longing for?  Why do we feel empty?
  • Addiction is not about willpower - it's about trying to fill emptiness
  • Physical pain is easier to handle than emotional pain
  • The best gift we can give our children is our own healing.  It's the gift that keeps giving.
  • The Bill of Emotional Rights
  • I belong - emotional bonds, connection

  • I am - identity, meaning
  • I soar - purpose, calling, growth
