In “The Diary of a CEO”, the host Steve Bartlett discusses with Dr. Steve Peters, a leading psychiatrist, how childhood trauma impacts lifelong emotional responses, the role of the impulsive “chimp” brain in decision-making, and the importance of building self-esteem through personal values and rational communication.
- Psychological mindedness involves understanding that life’s events don’t define us, but our reactions do.
- Childhood trauma can have lifelong impacts by affecting brain development and emotional responses.
- The human mind has a “chimp” system that reacts emotionally and impulsively, impacting decisions.
- Building self-esteem should focus on personal values and self-assessment rather than external validation.
- Effective communication often involves venting emotions first, then processing and responding rationally.
