When Are Suicidal Thoughts a Positive Thing ?

This episode's guest is clinical hypnotherapist and transformation coach, Marcus Matthews. He helps people suffering from anxiety and PTSD improve their self esteem and confidence without the long term use of therapy or medication.  
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Marcus came to his career after seeking help for suicidal thoughts led him to coaches and the mental health forum.
When we are in fight or flight mode we lose our reasoning, logical parts of our minds and refer to our base narratives that we have learned. Marcus helps people learn about themselves and discard old programmed behaviours based on old information and act and behave from new attitudes and behaviours.
Our brains love familiarity and will resist change so the process can be difficult. Positive affirmations work if you back them up with evidence. Unfortunately, we have to make the leap before we see the result.
80% of who we are is built by the time you are 8 years old. By the time you come to the age of 35 this starts to strain. 
Lessons we learn as we grow, such as vulnerability is weakness, need to be disproved and discarded for new knowledge to be resolved. 

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘That’s my big thing, helping people understand that things like anxiety, PTSD and suicide are not actually that bad, They’re good.’ - Marcus
‘We believe that all of the answers are outside us and they’re not. I think great coaches, great therapists don’t tell you what to do, they allow you to find those answers yourself. So that’s kind of my mission..’ – Marcus
‘We look at meaning rather than the thought itself. What meaning do you give to the thought that creates the emotional reaction within you?’ – John
‘I help you to create the environment where you can start to heal that break.’ - Marcus
‘When you can sit in the darkness of fear and know that everything is ok then that’s fine. When you actually look at fear it's never the thing, it’s the thought of the thing that drives the fear.’ – Marcus
