Why do we get depressed? Why do we feel anxious, lonely, or disconnected? After 30+ years as a world-renowned therapist, Marisa Peer has seen the same patterns over and over again, and she believes we can change them.
In this talk, Marisa reveals the root causes of depression and anxiety, and how we can begin to heal:
• Disconnection → why relationships and human connection are vital for mental health
• Self-talk → how harsh, critical words damage our self-esteem, and how praise rewires the mind
• Following your heart’s desire → the link between purpose, fulfillment, and resilience
• The “I’m Not Enough” loop → how to break negative cycles and rewire your thoughts
• The power of simple shifts → daily practices to boost confidence, optimism, and self-worth
Marisa reminds us that our mental health isn’t bound by genetics or “chemical imbalances." It’s about the thoughts we choose, the connections we build, and the way we speak to ourselves.
You are enough. And when you believe it, everything changes.
