World Leading Psychologist: How To Detach From Overthinking & Anxiety: Dr Julie Smith | E122

Box breathing, values check-ins, and the confidence trap most people never escape. The guest's real point: you don't build confidence by avoiding the feeling of not having it, you build it by practicing without it.

With Dr Julie Smith

Dr Julie Smith is a clinical psychologist who built a following of more than three million people by taking the information normally locked inside the therapy room and putting it on TikTok and in a book. The pop framing of her work is quick mental health hacks for a scrolling audience. The operating system underneath is much more procedural: specific, repeatable mechanics for the body and the mind that she uses with one-on-one clients and now teaches at scale. She keeps returning to the same idea in different forms, that the techniques which feel hardest in the moment are the ones that actually change anything, while the instant-relief habits are the ones that trap people in a cycle. This protocol pulls the three most concrete, repeatable mechanics she lays out in the conversation.
