#475: Niall “Bressie” Breslin on Transforming Trauma, Destigmatising Mental Health and The Difference Between Healthy or Unhealthy Coping Strategies!

49 minutes

Niall is a bestselling author, musician, philanthropist, and a former professional athlete.

He holds a Masters in mindfulness and is current PhD student (social psychology and sociology )

He is also one of Ireland’s most formidable and inspiring mental health advocates and public speakers.

Bressie is also the cofounder of a lust for life, a non-profit that educates young people to look after their wellbeing and share their voices to empower those around them.

On top of that, he is host of the critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning “Where Is My Mind” podcast, which is an immersive exploration into how we can better look after our heads and hearts in the chaos of the modern world.

“The metaphor I use is that the social media companies are Roman lords in the Colosseum watching us rip each other limb from limb for their entertainment — or their bank balance,”

Here are some of the things we talked about :

The dangers of social media with comparison syndrome and what it means for short and long term mental health issues
The role self-worth and self-acceptance has in mental health
The mental health layers – you vs the external world and what he has changed his mind about over the past 12 years
What to do when you can’t cope with your internal world
Transforming trauma and what he used to release it form his body over the years
The unquenchable thirst of fitness and not running form your problems
And more..
