Behind the Scenes

This is episode 1 of a 4-part special series on mental health with psychiatrist
Dr. Paul Conti, M.D., who trained at Stanford School of Medicine and completed
his residency at Harvard Medical School before founding his clinical practice,
the Pacific Premier Group. Dr. Conti defines mental health in actionable terms
and describes the foundational elements of the self, including the structure and
function of the unconscious and conscious mind, which give rise to all our
thoughts, behaviors and emotions. He also explains how to explore and address
the root causes of anxiety, low confidence, negative internal narratives,
over-thinking and how our unconscious defense mechanisms operate. This episode
provides a foundational roadmap to assess your sense of self and mental health.
It offers tools to reshape negative emotions, thought patterns and behaviors —
either through self-exploration or with a licensed professional. The subsequent
three episodes in this special series explore additional tools to further
understand and improve your mental health.
