It's tempting to share only the highlight reel of our lives, but when we're open about the difficult moments as well, we make it easier to tap into our emotions and create space for other people to process theirs, too. In this panel session, Wondermind co-founders Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey will explore the importance of bringing mental health conversations into the light alongside Solomon Thomas and Dr. Corey Yeager - not just for decreasing stigma and building awareness, but as a way to deal in hard times. Moderated by Dr. Jessica Stern, the conversation will cover the importance of flexibility over strict routines in mental healthcare, dealing with negative self-talk, and getting real about when you're not feeling OK.

Dr. Phil explores principle four of his ten principles for a healthy society: "Measure All Actions Based on Results and All Thoughts Based on Rationality" from his new book, “We've Got Issues: How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity.” Dr. Phil speaks with Dan Ariely, Dr. Corey Yeager, and Dr. Deena Manion and addresses living rationally, embracing the truth, and cognitive behavior therapy as a reality check.

February 26, 2024 Discussion on the book "How Am I Doing?" by Dr. Corey Yeager by Dr. Farid Holakouee

To support the launch of the new adult mental health campaign called Love, Your Mind, this episode will focus on key themes from the campaign to support Black men's mental health.  It will also tap into how music and other art forms can help us express our emotions and support our overall mental health.  Music, especially gospel, can comfort the distressed soul and bring moments of hope.  By deeply engaging with such uplifting tunes, we find an avenue to foster well-being, especially during challenging times.   During this podcast, we will discuss men's mental health and encourage everyone to prioritize their mental wellness.  While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to taking care of one's mental health and one's approach can change over time, this podcast will share different resources and activities men can use to start prioritizing their mental health.   With Dr. Corey Yeager as our subject matter expert, we will delve into the core messages of the new "Love, Your Mind" campaign.  Dr. Yeager, with his vast experience in addressing the mental health needs of Black men, will offer valuable insights and resources to support men's emotional well-being.  In addition to being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, he's also a Sports & Entertainment Life Coach, and will connect well with the gospel artist chosen to join him during this podcast. Kelontae Gavin will share his mental health journey and how music has played a pivotal role, emphasizing the transformative power of gospel music in supporting his mental health.  Together, they aim to foster a safe space where men feel empowered to seek help, nurture their mental well-being, address stigma within the faith community, and share valuable resources to help other Black men.

Dr. Phil takes a deep dive into the heart of mental health, uncovering transformative insights and strategies for overcoming brain health issues and uplifting our emotional well-being.

Dr. Corey Yeager is the psychotherapist for the Detroit Pistons. Dr. Yeager supports players, coaching staff and front office leadership in his conscientious, relational fashion. Today, Dr. Yeager is here to tell us the importance of self care and why it's paramount for success on our entrepreneurial adventures. In this episode, you'll learn:

How often do you ask yourself, “How am I doing?” If you're like most of us, the answer may be–not often enough! Detroit Pistons psychotherapist, Dr. Corey Yeager, invites us to ask ourselves this very question. His new book, “How Am I Doing? 40 Conversations to Have with Yourself” provides thought provoking prompts for deeper self knowledge–of who you've been and who you intend to become! I highlighted some of my favorite quotes from Dr. Yeager's book and asked him to elaborate on them. Specifically, we explore: The importance of being sure you're the one writing your story! Listening to your inner voice and monitoring your self talk. Growing up, Dr. Yeager heard things like, “Don't become someone your family wouldn't recognize!” How do we honor our family of origin while still resonating with our authentic selves? The tension between “Making the right choice” vs. “Making the choice right!” The impact of untruths we tell ourselves! Dr. Yeager's definition of True Freedom and the heavy responsibility inherent to freedom. How we can frame our pain and struggles as gifts! How “personifying” your relationship with anxiety provides you with control over what feels uncontrollable Dr. Yeager's book digs deep yet remains accessible to all–no matter where you are in your journey toward self discovery!

This episode of our What If Series asks; what if we looked inward to discover what makes us tick, who are the voices shaping us, and why are we choosing them? We also consider the question; who's the most important person in your life? The answers most people give are what you'd expect, but our guest this week proposes that we dig deeper to find a different answer that will ultimately change how we approach life.  Our guest, Dr. Corey Yeager, is a psychotherapist for the Detroit Pistons, a life coach, and an author. He appeared in the documentary, The Me You Can't See, by Oprah and Prince Harry, and recently released a book that poses 40 questions we should be asking ourselves as we create a roadmap to discover our purpose and explore who we want to become.   In this episode Dr. Corey and Jen discuss: Becoming a psychotherapist for NBA players How self talk affects our outlook Why asking intentional big questions can reframe our life How the timing is now for a love affair with yourself The most important conversation you can have is the one with yourself. Dr. Corey gives us the guidance and encouragement to do just that. Join Jen and Dr. Corey in an insightful discussion of self love, self talk, and staying curious.    * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

They would tell you, ‘I'm not a genius. I'm not a genius.' But if someone says, ‘No. Be still. Think through this. Yes, you do have a genius. What is it?' If you had to sit with that and play with that and grind with that, it would produce ... And actually not just the answer. The answer is not the key. The process towards the answer. The things that you play with, that you work through, that you cried through, that you laugh about. That is what we want more of." - Dr. Corey Yeager “I believe that at about nine, 10, 11, up into the 12, 13 year old range, we are handed a set of values. Our people around us, my grandparents, my mom, dad, my brother, they handed me a set of values. I didn't really get much say in it. They handed them to me and I agreed with it because I love my people. So then after I'm 12, 13, 14 years old, I move into the world holding those values, moving through the world with those values and never really re-engaging or checking in with myself to say, does that still work for me?.” - Dr. Corey Yeager “Discomfort should be an indicator that I'm growing into something that is quite important. So I think this indicator is something that will give us a signal.” - Dr. Corey Yeager “I submit that it is time for us to have a love affair with ourselves. I need to love me. And I'm glad my wife loves me and I'm glad my mama loves me and my kids love me. I'm glad, Jen, that they love me. But the most important love that I'm going to have is mine. If you don't know yourself, it's very hard to love yourself.” - Dr. Corey Yeager “So instead of using jealousy and just letting it sit, how about if we looked at those jealous moments, understood it as desire, and allowed that to become a GPS that told us where we wanted to head.” - Dr. Corey Yeager “We all hold the answers to everything we need. Everything that happens in my life today, I am fully equipped for. Anything that occurs, I'm fully equipped for, for this moment. And if we trust that, if we understand our lives as such, then we can move with confidence.” - Dr. Corey Yeager Guest's LinksDr. Corey Yeager Website Dr. Corey's Facebook Dr. Corey's Twitter Dr. Corey's Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This Episode How Am I Doing: 40 Conversations to Have with Yourself The Me You Can't See   Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's Instagram Jen's Twitter Jen's Facebook Jen's YouTube

My guest on this episode equates conversation to being on a playground, where there is humor, joy, curiosity, exploration, and yes, some arguments and hurt feelings. And feeling bold enough to invite others onto our own personal playgrounds requires us to first uncover some things about ourselves and how we wish to interact with those around us.   You're about to hear my conversation with Dr. Corey Yeager, a licensed marriage and family therapist as well as the psychotherapist for the National Basketball Association's Detroit Pistons.   Doc recently released a new book called “How Am I Doing? 40 conversations to have with yourself”   As you'll hear Doc describe in this conversation, before we can begin to understand others and communicate effectively with others around us — the other people on the playground — we have to first have a level of awareness about ourselves that unfortunately, very few of us pour much effort into achieving.   And that's why Doc wrote his book. To give you a starting point to learn how to ask yourself the questions that will inform your ability to interact appropriately with those around you.   Check out Doc's work at https://doctorcoreyyeager.com/, connect with him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/drcoreyyeager, and buy his book at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400236762.

In today's episode, our guest is Corey Yeager. He has navigated his ups and downs. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist, meaning he spends more time with people. He used to have a tie.  [4:00] Why Should I Listen to you?  It will be intentional if I try to talk to you. You should also speak to me because you might sense I have wisdom in my conversation. I would jump into curiosity about your life. My life is to be curious about people's lives, not change anyone's life.  [5:06] Where do you see wisdom coming from?  My grandmother, who died at the age of 96 years, had a sixth-grade education but was the wisest person in the world. She taught me the process and gift of discernment, which I utilized in my life. She taught me the difference between wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge is gaining information, while wisdom is the application thereof. It is how I take my information and apply it to benefit myself and others around me. Knowledge is just something on a shelf, but if it's utilized well, it is wisdom. That's how I see it.   [7:12] Where did curiosity come into your life?  I think I have always been curious, and I will have to relate this to my grandmother. When I was ten, she took me to her side and told me I had the same gift as hers: the gift of discernment. She began to teach me what wisdom is. She told me to pay attention to what people are doing, be curious, watch and don't tell anybody you're doing it, and see if I can predict what's going to happen with that situation, and I have done that my whole life. I watch people, sit back and watch how events will unfold in their life. So curiosity has grown in my life since a very young age, and I utilize it in everything, and I think it serves me well.  [9:50] How do you handle people that are close to you but don't listen to you?  I am not sure I can help with forcing anything at all. I think I've settled on saying that it's not my job to convince you to do something or not. I will give you my version, and you can choose to do whatever you want. You can choose to ignore me, and I will watch the situation while you look at me and tell me I was right.  [11:00] How did you become a marriage and family therapist?  I went to Long Beach State and played football. I thought I would be a multi-millionaire offensive guard in the NFL. I had no degree, nor did I have anything to fall back on. I had a friend who bonded well with each other; after football, I met my wife. She saw something in me that was invincible to me, and she kept drawing it out. I followed her lead, went back to school, and fell in love with the academic ground. I got my degree in psychology, went back to school for my master's, and ultimately Ph.D. at the University Of Minnesota. So I kind of fell in love with that rap out. Meanwhile, as I got my master's degree, I became a therapist and deeply fell in love with the therapeutic adventure-engaging and supporting others. I wanted to be in the helping profession, and it drew me to people. I got to hear people's stories, experiences, and feedback. That drew me into it and sustained me because I want to be in the helping space.  [13:30] What's the state of the world's family base right now?  I think it's ever-shifting and ever-evolving, so if the state of the family and how we see it is evolving. We will miss a lot if we have the same mindset that we had 40 years ago. So we have to grow with thinking along with the family. The family by choice is something nobody talked about 40-50 years ago, but if I choose to have you as my brother. That is just as strong a bond as if we were biologically connected because I chose you as my brother. So this family evolution begs us to evolve our thinking with it as well. If we also see the importance of a nuclear family as a family unit, that's a unit. There is no normal when you talk about family. It is only normal within the family. If you start to compare families, it becomes abnormal. So if we can understand that the most critical family is my family and if I can finalize and stand on what normal means for us, I don't have to compare because it's not my job. If I can make my unit understand how I operate.  [16:00] How do individuals affect the collective family? I think it starts with the concept that the sum is greater than the whole and is greater than the sum of its parts. Individuals are critically important. In the book I'm currently doing, I talk about individuals better understanding themselves. If you as an individual understand yourself, you become a better husband, friend, brother, and so on. So the understanding and curiosity we should have within the individual serve the greater whole. Make sure you understand yourself. The individual is important, but that whole line moving together in unison is much more important than an individual. But it doesn't diminish the importance of that individual either. One of the struggles is that multiple agendas are competing.  [19:10]  How does somebody get to know themselves?  Just like getting to know another individual. You see other individuals by spending time with them, learning their quirks, learning what they like, where you blend with them, and so on. Knowing the self is quite similar. You have to spend time with yourself to know yourself. Before I can be a good husband and dad, I have to be a good Quarry for Corey. So working to understand myself, becoming aware of how I see the world, and how I develop the system that I move with is essential because, too often, we get value systems implanted in us, and we don't question them for the rest of our lives. Leaning in to understand better and be curious about who we are and how we came to be who we are is essential. It does a great job of serving us in our relationships with others if we can improve ourselves.  [22:58] How did you balance that with being self-deprecating?  I think this self-deprecation is a space that serves us best with others. I'm self-deprecating with people, and I think it's a move to be one down with people. It diminishes on purpose. I seek to reduce myself in this conversation with you because I want to be down. After all,  if we're own down, others will be able to engage.  [28:22] What prompted you to write this book, and who is the book for?  I think the book is for anywhere from a kid from age 13 because I wrote in a way that a young person can get a hold of something. It can be served throughout the lifespan. I think this was inspired by a documentary I did with De Mar DeRozan, one of my dogs that I sincerely liked in league with Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry. I had said that I wanted to write a book while running my Ph.D. program, and part of me thought of what I was attacking with it. But then, i said, let the reader find you. It will be better if it finds you. The book came to see me because I did what I was supposed to do when it found me. The inspiration built over time as I began constructing therapeutic support, working in the NBA. I think that's what inspired me to write the book. I think the book is excellent for athletes because athletes have been sold a bill of goods that they should be something. You can do a lot of things. Also, if you are an individual that seeks to know yourself better, the book is definitely for you.  [37:44] How do you navigate the challenges of becoming who you want to be?  You just described a concept in the psychological realm called negative self-talk. Negative conversations move in an echo, pushing out the opportunity for the echo chamber to be full of positivity. So like the book is saying, you do whatever you like with it. It is terrible if you can't figure out what you want as a man. You have to be aware of what's wrong, and then you can start to make a shift.  [48:26] What promise did God make to the world when he created you?  This is going to be a cat that will be in your corner. If you engage with him, you won't have to wait a long time before you can figure out if you can trust him or not.  Key Quotes [34:04-34:06] According to Nelson Mandela, we never lose. We either win or learn. [40:20-40:22] To be you is to be the authentic you, unashamed    How to connect with Corey Yeager Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drcoreyyeager/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drcoreyyeager/     Twitter: https://twitter.com/drcoreyyeager

Dr. Corey Yeager, psychotherapist for the Detroit Pistons and licensed marriage and family therapist, joins Tayo for today's episode. Dr. Yeager works to give athletes open environments to express and explore their challenges, finding that frank dialogue helps not only individual athletes but entire teams. His new book How Am I Doing? is an extension of his mission to enhance individual self-wellness through self-work that starts with getting to know the person behind the mirror.Dr. Yeager begins the episode by explaining that concept of the person in the mirror and why it's so important to engage and understand them instead of avoiding their secrets, as many of us are prone to. He says that most of us become what other people tell us we should be and get stuck in outdated coping mechanisms, and only by understanding ourselves can we make progress. He illustrates this by sharing his own journey away from the assumption that his physical prowess was the only thing he had to give to finding his spark and purpose in academia. I then ask Dr. Yeager to speak about another concept from his book—chasing your wildest dreams. He clarifies that the important part is not stopping once you've achieved one dream but continually planning to pursue the next one so as to avoid stagnation. In order to figure out those dreams, Dr. Yeager advises focusing on finding your genius, combating negative and bad-faith self-talk, letting go of outdated support systems, and being your own number one. And finally, Dr. Yeager shares how he uses his difference to make a difference by pointing out to others that while they will face obstacles, it is possible to pursue and do whatever you choose.Episode Highlights:Engaging with the person in the mirror Discovering yourself and understanding context Pursuing your wildest dreams Finding your genius and combating negative self-talk Being your best self for yourselfLinks:Connect with Dr. Yeager:Website: http://doctorcoreyyeager.com/Book: http://doctorcoreyyeager.com/bookConnect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast:Tayo's Website: https://tayorockson.com/Tayo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tayorockson/Tayo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TayoRocksonTayo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tayorocksonTayo on TikTok: https://www.youtube.com/tayorocksonAs Told by Nomads Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/as-told-by-nomads/id910739730UYD Management: https://www.uydmanagement.com/UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collective Hosted on Acast.
