In This Podcast Summary In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok speaks with Michael Diettrich-Chastain about his new book “Changes” and moving beyond doing just regular psychotherapy. They discuss the seven dimensions/predictors of success and failure that Michael found to be consistent variables in all aspects of his practice regardless of client, population, or challenge being faced.
Disruptors of Success These seven are various aspects of our lived experience that if not paid attention to or not optimized can be disruptors of the success that we’re trying to create in our lives.
C – Cognition, the way we think.
H – Heart, the way we feel.
A – Action, what we do.
N – Nourishment, our care.
G – Guts, our courage.
E – Environment, our ability to connect.
S – Spirit, our belief system.
Cognition Our mindset and thoughts directly impact our lives.
Heart Our ability to understand and communicate our emotions.
Action Our habits help us maintain a status quo so if we don’t have good habits they will become disruptors.
Nourishment We need to care by translating our insight into behavior.
Guts Have the courage to act in spite of knowing that something will be a stressor. One must continually move towards a challenge even when there is fear.
Environment The people, places, and things that we surround ourselves with drastically impact us.
Spirit What do I believe and how is it serving me?
Everyone has beliefs, not just religious beliefs, and they impact us all. Are your beliefs serving you well or becoming a disruptor in their own right?
Impostor Syndrome It doesn’t really go away, it just shifts.
Assuming that you are continually pushing yourself, this feeling might not go away but you can deal with it but you can build that muscle of familiarity with where the developmental edge is.
