About this listen
Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive? This book explores how our brains have evolved to favor survival over mental well-being—creating "controlled explosions"—and provides practical ways to understand, acknowledge, and defuse them.
Controlled Explosions in Mental Health identifies everyday scenarios in which one may experience self-destructive behavior such as procrastination or self-criticism. Each chapter guides the listener through key examples of controlled explosions, identifying and exploring their possible functions. Listeners will learn how to identify when one or more of these "explosions" are operating in their lives, recognize the potential harm or difficulties this may cause, and learn practical ways to navigate and overcome. The friendly, accessible narrative, teamed with guided examples to aid self-practice, makes this book the ultimate companion for navigating your mental health.
This book supports the path to self-awareness, helping the listener take control of their own struggles with insight, care, and compassion. It's a must-have for any listener looking to better understand their mental health and wellbeing.
