Beliefs: Helen Davis
How our beliefs and perceptions shape how we experience ourselves and the world. Helen Davis is a sports psychologist who has worked with a number of top athletes, including previous DTMTS guest Lucy Gossage. The key understanding explored in this episode is that it is not people or events that make us feel or behave in a certain way, it is our perceptions and beliefs that are crucial. Helen explains how to uncover unhelpful beliefs and ways of thinking, and why tweaking the language you use can make a big difference. Helen was a teacher before becoming a psychologist and she also explains how she made the switch, as well as sharing her advice for anyone also considering a change of direction in their career. @simonmundie
