27.01.2022 The difference between mental health and inner well-being - time to expand the conversation. In discussions about mental health, the main focus is on building ...resilience through more positive cognitive and behavioural habits. When someone is struggling this can be the first place to start. But I see this more like ED, the emergency department when someone is in crisis and needs immediate help. However, psychology, often like hospitals, then releases people once the crisis is over, to return to similar patterns, problem solved, job done. It's not that I'm against psychology, I founded Perth Psychologists, it's just that there is so much more and it's time for a new paradigm. I think we need the next conversation, what got me into the mess in the first place. I think this is the time to introduce a new model - inner well-being versus event-based well-being. When we approach life with event-based well-being, our mental state fluctuates based on whether we are more or less successful at managing our important life events. If they go well, or we manage bad ones well, we feel fine. If they don't, we don't. To me this is like teaching children at primary school, it's all they can do at this stage of development, but as they mature, they will be able to learn more. The more, in terms of well-being, is inner well-being. But I have to clarify, this actually has nothing to do with resilience or positive, reasonable thinking. It actually is even independent of thought. It is access to, and ultimately the default place, where we come from, an inner well-being, that simply rests, is at peace, and actually is spontaneously loving. This is only possible when the normal sense of self has dropped away, what we might call ego, and we have touched or awakened to this light, aware, open true nature that has been watching non-judgmentally all the time. This I suggest is the next conversation. From a mental health perspective, it's a non-recurrent funding model, no need for ongoing maintenance when a new event crops up. It is free, inherently happy and at peace. And it is the natural state of a human being. Let's have this conversation, and I'm here to have it!
