All of us can overcome our minds that work in ways to protect us from short term pain, ultimately limiting our long term success and possibilities. Everyone's mind works in this way to a greater or lesser extent. We can all learn psychological flexibility to make our lives less limited. Dr. Joyce has worked with USF students at the Counseling Center for four years. He previously did therapy at Purdue University, University of Michigan and the University of Akron. He runs the Learning to Let Go workshop weekly to help students learn to manage their limiting minds. He has studied applying Eastern mindfulness and defusion techniques to mental health for a decade. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
