Have you ever felt hurt by someone, and found yourself still holding onto feelings of resentment, sadness, or anger many years later? While it's common to blame our pain on what others have said or done to us, the true roots of our suffering often lie in our own thoughts or beliefs.  In 1986, at the bottom of a 10-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered – and when she questioned them, she didn't suffer. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, called “The Work,” consists of four questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for over 30 years. Her books include the best-selling book, “Loving What Is: Four Questions that Can Change Your Life.” As our guest in Episode 220 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Byron Katie shares the following: An overview of The Work and how its four questions – Is this thought true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react when you believe the thought? Who would you be without that thought? – can help you identify and reverse the thoughts that may be keeping you feeling confused, afraid, or lesser than How the ego can sometimes unintentionally keep us feeling hurt by focusing on the wrongs of others, and how the self-inquiry process can help soothe the ego Other gifts of self-inquiry, such as a more open mind, a greater sense of compassion, and an enhanced ability to understand and connect with others Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 9 a.m. PT, Byron Katie hosts “At Home with BK,” a virtual session in which she masterfully guides others in doing The Work.

Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Dr. Georgia Ede, MD, is a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist based in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. Her interest in nutrition arose after discovering a new way of eating that reversed several bewildering health problems she had developed in her early 40s, including fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Dr. Ede acquired her bachelor's in biology from Carleton College in Minnesota. Then, for seven years, she worked as a research assistant in the fields of biochemistry, diabetes, and wound healing. She earned her MD from the University of Vermont and completed her residency in general adult psychiatry at Cambridge Hospital in 2002. After five years in general practice, she joined Harvard University Health Services from 2007 to 2013 as a staff psychopharmacologist and was the first psychiatrist there to offer nutrition consultation as an option to students, faculty, and staff with mental health concerns. From 2013 to 2018, she was the psychiatrist for Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she provided nutrition consultation as well as medication and psychotherapy services to Smith students. Now, Dr. Ede devotes all of her time to nutritional psychiatry and directs her efforts on studying, writing, and speaking about the strong scientific connection between food and brain health. Dr. Ede writes frequently for Psychology Today and has her own website at Diagnosis: Diet. In 2018, she independently published a paper in the Journal of Evolution and Health.     In this discussion, Drs.
