62. The Connection Between Mental Health and Happiness with Jason Shiers

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to be piling on top of one another and the tenuous hold you had on your good mood just evaporates? Sometimes life has a way of making our difficult moments even harder, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live without true peace and happiness. It all starts with your thoughts…

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Today we sit down with psychotherapist and transformative coach Jason Shiers. Join us as Jason talks about his journey of losing his father at five years old, the addictions he grew to cope with his struggle, and the path of self-destruction Jason was certain he couldn’t get out of. You’ll hear about his incredible transformation and how his true path to happiness started with getting out of his head. 

Listen in as Jason talks about the construct behind mental illness and how your thought life is more than just experiencing the world around you. You’ll learn why addiction is more than behavior or substance abuse, the link between overthinking and mental illness, and the steps that transformed Jason’s inner world from one of victimization to an empowered and true version of himself.
