#355 - Helen Villiers - Understanding Yourself Through Developing Your Identity

Helen Villiers joins Something For Everybody this week. Helen is a psychotherapist specializing in narcissism, ADHD and autism. In this conversation, Helen explores the intersection of mental health, performance, and community support. We discuss the importance of recognizing the lies our minds tell us, the power of supportive communities in healing, and the complexities of narcissism and empathy. The dialogue emphasizes the significance of confidence over arrogance, the necessity of a multifaceted identity, and the role of language in shaping our perceptions and experiences. - Timestamps: 00:00 Navigating Overwhelm and Identity 02:59 Understanding Self and Identity Development 06:06 The Role of Values in Identity 08:49 Social Media's Impact on Identity and Community 12:09 Mental Health Awareness and Action 15:07 The Power of Authenticity and Connection 33:21 Enhancing Performance Through Mental Health 34:20 The Lies Our Minds Tell Us 37:30 Building Supportive Communities 39:46 Healing Through Shared Experiences 45:22 Understanding Narcissism and Empathy 52:15 Confidence vs. Arrogance in Sports 58:22 The Importance of a Multifaceted Identity 01:01:03 Motivational Empathy in Narcissism - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF 👉 https://shopforeverybody.com/ - AMARE GLOBAL: The Mental Wellness Company – On a mission to create a holistic mental wellness platform of products, programs, and people. - Go to https://www.amare.com/155249/en-us/ for $10 off your next order.
