Life coaches vs therapists
Is there something in between? I would like to work on my body declining performance issues, menopause was a bitch and gain confidence more, I’m always so caring for others, I stifle myself constantly…does this even make sense? Pondering a life coach but maybe I need therapy who knows it’s all so confusing sometimes.
IBS and Mental Health
What is your knowledge on curing IBS through mental training? There are now many apps and practices going around saying that IBS is usually not actually physical but instead a reaction to stressors and various other reasonings. What is your approach on this and do you recommend trying one of these methods? Does the research actually support this approach?
Is meditation really for everyone?
Prof. Huberman, in a recent AMA someone asked about your morning meditation practice and your replied by describing the distance-time/task switching support practice. I also know you practice the NSDR. What I wish to ask is whether you have been successful in becoming a detached and passive observer of your thoughts. Being a scientist myself I know how challenging it can be to relax the analytic mind that wants to analyze and interpret the activity of the brain, but isn't this what genuine meditation is about? Would you share your experiences with attempting to still the mind for a period of at least 20 mintues, for example.
