Description

Every step you take in the direction of bettering yourself is a part of your SecondAct. Such is not only our belief but also that of our guest's. Dr. Ashok Bhattacharya or Dr. B as his patients call him has been practicing individual and couple psychotherapy since 1989.

He is the founder of the Empathy Clinic, a place where he employs the power of empathy to bring out the best in people.

He is also an author and has published two amazing books to date. Most of all he is a positive thinker, who strongly believes that his best days are still ahead of him.

Key highlights:

• Human beings practice hope, when we lose something or when something is taken away from us there is always a SecondAct
• Empathy is seeing, listening, and feeling a person from their perspective, instead  of yours
• Clearing your mind and paying complete attention to the person who’s speaking, is one of the things to do when practicing empathy 
• We’ve all got different interests, but we’ve to know where we are at and then we can support and interact with each other
• Addressing the presence of burnout, might be the way to avoid a breakdown
• It’s okay; to need a break some days, to want to press the snooze button some days, to not be able to give a 100% some days
• The reward for a habit is to feel  good about yourself, the reward may not come about very quickly, but it will manifest in the longer run
• Your SecondAct is every single reincarnation of yourself, every improved version, every new you
• You don’t have to be motivated every day. Expecting yourself to be motivated each day is setting yourself up for failure

Why should you listen to this podcast: 

On some days do you beat yourself up for not being productive enough or motivated enough? Many of us do. We expect more from ourselves each day and in doing so we unconsciously set ourselves up for failure. If you are familiar with these feelings, then this is the podcast for you. Talking about accepting the days which do not bear the best results, Dr. B impels us to be gentle to ourselves, especially when the times are not.

Let loving ourselves unconditionally be our #SecondAct
