Mental Mechanics reflects what feels like the mental math of my journey. It is about the tools I use to become an active participant in my own mind and change the parts of my life that don’t serve me. This encompasses the mental steps, the questions I ask, the patterns, processes, and connections that I’ve observed and use to help me understand my basic emotional needs and how to fulfill them. This also helps me identify and address the deficiencies in those needs that resulted in my inner critic, insecurities, and unhealthy coping mechanisms as well as my symptoms of depression, anxiety, and more. Mental Mechanics functions to help me understand myself by providing a method to listen to myself better, which for me, has also had that the effect of helping me better understand, interact, and listen to others.
