How to Think Differently in Hard Times

About this episode

Most people don’t realize they’re stuck in the same story, same frame…and that frame shapes how everything feels. So how do you actually change it?

In this episode of Mental Health Ka Diyan Podcast, kasama ni Kai si Ken-ken Somera, a conversational hypnotist, NLP coach, and hypnotherapist who also personally coached Kai through navigating emotional patterns and negative narratives.

They talk about why negative stories keep repeating in your mind, how these patterns are formed through emotion, and why negative memories are easier to access than positive ones. Ken-ken shares practical strategies to avoid negative thinking patterns. They also break down how you can reclaim your power of choice, so you don’t stay stuck in the mindset of “it is what it is,” and start seeing options again.

Listen in if you want practical ways to stop mental loops, reframe negative narratives, and take back control of how you think and decide.
