The Mindset Doctor: The Secret Man Behind The World's Top Performers: Steve Peters

We have beliefs within us that are just too hard to remove, and they may have come from traumatic experiences. Let's learn how to. Put it in a box. Professor Steve Peters. He's a world leading psychiatrist. And author of a number of very influential books, including The Chin Paradox. A man who has helped multiple British athletes. I'm a person who wants to help people. I started working with Chris Hoy. I wouldn't build the cover to the Athens Olympic so we could make sure that he got his gold medal and running a solar. The emotion that that guy was getting at that point must have been so unpleasant that part way through a world championship we shook hands and walked out. So in Rie's case, what do you do? So the very first step is Oh really? And that is what winners do. For people to shift.

They've got to have psychological mindedness, which means they've got to understand that it's not about what happens to us in life, it's how we deal with it. What role does early childhood trauma play in how we respond in situations? Before we're even born, the emotional memory's starting to react to that trauma. Your parent might suddenly say, Oh, you're just an idiot. But something might have happened just before that where you've got one out of ten and you were bottomed with the spelling test. And the two together get emotionally tangled, and that then damages the circuits. So you get people often who have very low self-esteem. How does one go about working with someone who's got serious self esteem issues. I'm gonna be controversially. Whenever there's a podcast episode that I record that really has a profound impact on me, I always want to provide a little bit of a disclaimer at the start to make sure that you give it a chance. And this is one of those episodes that comes along once in a while, which I absolutely, absolutely adore because of the depth of wisdom

and the potential it offers to change your life. So what I'm gonna ask you to do Is to listen to this episode. To give it a chance. Because this is one of the rare ones that once in a while I think will genuinely change your life. It'll be one of those episodes that you pass around to your friends.
