It’s important to remind ourselves that emotions aren’t ever meant to be suppressed. Feel it fully and let it pass through you.

My guest believes that emotional stress is the bane of modern living and a global problem, wounding billions of people and affecting countless families. As a psychiatric resident in a hospital, when he witnessed profound healing happen, it was due to so much more than the meds prescribed to the patients. Healing is engaging with the root cause and shifting one's narrative.

"Responsibility is the gateway to freedom and peace. Avoiding responsibility maintains the emotional and mental paralysis we're in. We remain trapped because we're not taking action."
Dr. Sam Qurashi

Dr. Sam Qurashi is a writer, entrepreneur, Instagrammer, and YouTuber. He walked away from his medical career because he believed there is a more effective way to help people. So he started interviewing experts who live beyond the frame of traditional psychology but are masters of the mind in a unique way - that list includes The Iceman, The Horse Whisperer, a Samurai, a Cold Reader, a Ninja, a Tea Master, a Pickpocket, and the list goes on.

Sam then started an Instagram account which now boasts a reach of 700 thousand followers. On Instagram, he regularly shares his insights for interrupting the psychological patterns that keep us trapped in the mental loops of our own design.

In today's episode, Sam shares his hero’s journey that led him to a place very different from his starting career. We delve into addiction, emotions, triggers, traumas, behaviors, beliefs, and closure. Sam also shares some practical ways he deals with and heals the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that don’t serve us.
