00:05.775 --> 00:11.036
Hello
whom of you has never had a friend
00:11.500 --> 00:18.300
who was suffering stress,
anxiety, depression, tension.
00:19.680 --> 00:23.040
Who of you has never had a moment that you are worried that
00:23.050 --> 00:28.270
you were forgetting some words,
or worried if your memory
00:28.280 --> 00:30.401
is still functioning well?
00:30.401 --> 00:33.324
Because centuries ago
00:33.410 --> 00:36.020
this only happened when you were 85.
00:36.480 --> 00:41.590
But recently we discovered in our society that even young
00:41.600 --> 00:46.610
people I even get emails from schoolchildren who are asking me
00:46.610 --> 00:49.570
Doctor, am I suffering a burn out?
00:49.960 --> 00:55.350
And unfortunately it starts at younger
and younger ages.
00:55.360 --> 01:00.470
And what happens is that when stress, whatever kind of stress
01:00.470 --> 01:05.700
that happens in our lives is stimulating our adrenaline,
01:05.710 --> 01:09.179
our cortisol and several other
stress hormones.
01:09.179 --> 01:12.670
There's a kind of poisoning of the brain,
01:12.670 --> 01:19.146
and the first organ that's attacked is part of our brain, the hippocampus
01:19.146 --> 01:22.641
where the concentration and our
memory is situated.
01:23.013 --> 01:27.910
And because of that, we are getting difficulty in being focused
01:27.920 --> 01:31.987
on that what we want
on whom we want to be
01:31.987 --> 01:34.428
and what we want to achieve in life.
01:34.470 --> 01:38.960
And more and more we start to experience when stress is happening
01:38.970 --> 01:42.791
negative stress at least, that we
have the feeling like
01:42.791 --> 01:48.630
we don't have our brain as an organ anymore in order to make
01:48.640 --> 01:51.471
the right decisions and to live
a happy life.
01:51.471 --> 01:57.070
It's like some people start to feel the hopelessness and the sadness.
01:57.060 --> 02:01.501
Some people start to feel anxiety
and tension.
02:01.670 --> 02:06.365
Others are getting so tired that it's
like they say,
02:06.365 --> 02:10.699
I'm broken down and I don't know what to do anymore.
02:10.710 --> 02:12.200
I don't know who I am anymore.
02:12.210 --> 02:15.790
I'm completely losing myself.
02:17.220 --> 02:19.800
And this is happening more and more frequently.
02:20.220 --> 02:23.250
It's happening more and more since the mobile phone, since
02:23.250 --> 02:27.270
Facebook, since Messenger, since a lot of influences are
02:27.660 --> 02:32.327
coming to our brain and our brain cannot digest it anymore
02:32.337 --> 02:37.450
at the speed that we try to live our lives and to try to
02:37.540 --> 02:39.741
be the persons whom we want to be.
02:40.130 --> 02:43.893
Now, however there is hope
02:44.435 --> 02:48.373
because what we see in our survey,
in our results
02:48.373 --> 02:52.271
analyzing 3,000 patients who have followed the program
02:52.271 --> 02:55.061
where we are analyzing what works and what doesn't work.
02:55.333 --> 03:00.550
We have been able now to develop protocols where people
03:00.560 --> 03:03.310
who are in that situation within three weeks of time.
03:03.660 --> 03:07.890
So the average patient who follows this type of protocols
03:08.340 --> 03:13.490
in three weeks of time reaches normal levels of stress, anxiety
03:13.520 --> 03:15.260
and depresivity again.
03:15.950 --> 03:21.540
So technically it is possible to decrease the stress in a
03:21.540 --> 03:24.540
pretty short amount of time in several weeks of time.
03:24.550 --> 03:29.430
And if we take an anti depressive medication, it also takes
03:29.440 --> 03:33.870
about three weeks of time and a good self help system takes
03:34.110 --> 03:37.410
on average three weeks of time for some people more for some
03:37.420 --> 03:37.980
people, less.
03:38.200 --> 03:42.640
And what we measured is that the level of life satisfaction
03:42.640 --> 03:46.270
and happiness can increase with 40% in three weeks of time
03:46.540 --> 03:48.730
has been measured on 3,000 people.
03:50.880 --> 03:59.540
Now, what makes that people fail in living these happy lives
04:00.080 --> 04:04.689
because we are all born to live the lives that we want to live,
04:04.689 --> 04:06.860
to become the person we want to be.
04:06.870 --> 04:10.630
We have a kind of innate desire to become the person we want to be.
04:10.620 --> 04:12.920
And it's like our software goes there.
04:12.930 --> 04:16.070
And when we see that something makes it impossible for us
04:16.079 --> 04:19.519
to reach this dream and this goal,
this negative stress
04:19.529 --> 04:20.300
starts to happen.
04:20.440 --> 04:22.823
But what makes that some people
04:22.823 --> 04:26.480
can cope with it, and some others don't.
04:27.260 --> 04:34.380
Those who cope with it, at least those who fail are those
04:34.390 --> 04:39.850
who first of all, don't make a decision, that it's a priority
04:40.180 --> 04:47.660
to manage this in our society where stress is so frequent around us.
04:47.660 --> 04:49.651
So the first reason why people fail is
04:49.651 --> 04:51.070
They don't make a decision.
04:51.260 --> 04:55.400
Maybe they go to the physician, maybe to the psycologist.
04:55.540 --> 04:58.210
But that doesn't even mean they
took the decision.
04:58.800 --> 05:03.880
From today on, I'm going to change my life and do something about it.
05:03.880 --> 05:07.822
The second reason is they don't
have a system
05:08.200 --> 05:10.220
they don't know how to do it.
05:10.220 --> 05:13.590
So the second reason why people don't find solutions is
05:13.590 --> 05:14.880
they don't have a system.
05:15.160 --> 05:19.949
The third reason is they quite often don't have access to knowledge.
05:19.949 --> 05:22.360
And you could say, yes there's a lot of it on YouTube,
05:22.510 --> 05:25.780
but where to start to find what's good knowledge and what's
05:25.790 --> 05:26.740
not the right knowledge.
05:26.980 --> 05:30.310
So a lot of people don't succeed because they don't have
05:30.320 --> 05:33.340
access to the right type of insights and knowledge.
05:34.500 --> 05:40.700
Fourth reason is that they don't work on it with a system
05:40.710 --> 05:45.470
on a daily, consistent basis, because whatever you do, if
05:45.590 --> 05:50.667
you want to make a change in your life,
it requires changing habits,
05:50.667 --> 05:53.810
because when you are in a depression
or in a state of anxiety
05:53.810 --> 05:57.609
or in a burnout, it's because you have developed habits
05:57.609 --> 06:00.260
that are not adapted to a happy life anymore.
06:00.500 --> 06:03.950
And your challenge is to develop new habits.
06:04.140 --> 06:07.770
And that's what's starting to fail at certain moments.
06:07.820 --> 06:12.380
And when I realized that I was wondering with some colleagues,
06:12.390 --> 06:13.610
What can we do about it?
06:13.640 --> 06:16.970
Because a lot of people don't go to the physician, a lot
06:16.980 --> 06:20.090
of people don't go to the psychiatrist, other psychologists.
06:20.100 --> 06:23.000
And even if they would go, they might be on a waiting list
06:23.010 --> 06:26.090
for three weeks for five weeks in some countries, even for
06:26.100 --> 06:30.109
seven months before they get access to the right kind of help.
06:30.109 --> 06:32.970
And maybe they even will not have the right match with
06:32.980 --> 06:34.110
the right type of therapies.
06:34.100 --> 06:37.490
So when I discovered that and when I discovered that a lot
06:37.500 --> 06:41.930
of people in my medical practice called me and they say,
06:41.940 --> 06:43.610
No, I've been sent by this doctor.
06:43.620 --> 06:46.610
I said Oh this is strange because he's already five years retired.
06:46.980 --> 06:47.760
Yeah, doctor.
06:47.790 --> 06:52.650
But he gave me your telephone number six years ago, but I
06:52.660 --> 06:54.300
didn't have the courage to call you.
06:54.310 --> 06:57.930
So I was thinking, what can we do to make something more
06:57.940 --> 06:59.100
accessible and easier?
06:59.110 --> 07:02.510
And at that moment, we discovered that
07:02.510 --> 07:04.290
with Internet there is a lot of possibilities.
07:04.420 --> 07:09.400
And we tried to see what can we do to offer a daily solution?
07:09.680 --> 07:12.890
Because if you don't change your habit on a daily basis,
07:13.040 --> 07:16.670
if you only go once a week to the psychotherapist or once
07:16.700 --> 07:21.200
every two weeks and you don't do something every day to train
07:21.320 --> 07:24.920
the new skills and to reverse even the biological process
07:24.950 --> 07:25.610
in your brain.
07:25.820 --> 07:29.210
Because what we have seen that even if some brain cells are
07:29.220 --> 07:32.640
damaged biologically because of the chronic stress, you can
07:32.600 --> 07:37.500
reverse most of that by training these brain areas in the right way.
07:37.820 --> 07:40.460
But then you need a consistent system.
07:40.470 --> 07:45.410
So what's very important is that science is focusing more
07:45.420 --> 07:49.980
and more not only on having a nice talk, to give someone
07:49.990 --> 07:54.270
a nice insight, but to help people to deliver them a system
07:54.270 --> 07:57.819
where step by step, they can build up
the competence
07:57.819 --> 07:59.310
to rebuild new habits.
07:59.560 --> 08:03.149
And that's what we have seen now in our research.
08:03.149 --> 08:06.730
At this moment, we have like 400000 people who took our free
08:06.740 --> 08:10.660
test on the internet on the website,
15minutes4me.com
08:11.410 --> 08:14.800
and about 3,000 of them followed the full program.
08:15.040 --> 08:18.670
And when we analyze their results, we see that the average
08:18.670 --> 08:23.974
client on the 3,000 that are in our
sample database, average client
08:23.974 --> 08:26.350
when they really do it every day,
when they really
08:26.580 --> 08:29.790
take 15 minutes a day,
and what do they do?
08:29.800 --> 08:34.080
They do selfreflection asking yourself kind of questions,
08:34.260 --> 08:35.549
who do I want to be?
08:35.559 --> 08:37.830
What type of life do I want to have?
08:38.260 --> 08:42.010
What type of a mother or father do I want to be for my children?
08:42.020 --> 08:44.260
What type of a professional
do I want to be?
08:44.270 --> 08:46.120
What type of a friend do I want to be?
08:46.240 --> 08:48.460
So what type of a person do I want to be?
08:48.880 --> 08:52.060
And what am I already doing that works in that direction,
08:52.390 --> 08:55.510
and that's what a good psychotherapist or software can do,
08:55.520 --> 08:59.920
ask you the right questions so that you start to get insight
08:59.920 --> 09:01.270
and what's useful for me.
09:01.750 --> 09:05.890
And the funny thing is when I analyze the first clients who
09:05.900 --> 09:09.580
did our program, they were giving us solutions.
09:09.850 --> 09:12.880
I was taking my anti depressive medication and so on.
09:12.880 --> 09:15.370
So I was a little bit scared because I didn't want to encourage
09:15.380 --> 09:19.220
medication too much, although it can be useful from time to time.
09:19.210 --> 09:22.540
But then after a week, I saw that the responses were shifting
09:22.550 --> 09:26.610
to I did some meditation, and that's already better.
09:26.620 --> 09:30.230
But it feels something that you have to do in a systematic way.
09:30.230 --> 09:34.245
And then after some weeks, the type of answers that came were
09:34.200 --> 09:37.600
I went to the swimming pool with my three year old daughter.
09:37.740 --> 09:40.860
I went for a walk, I listened to some music.
09:40.870 --> 09:42.630
I called a friend on the telephone.
09:42.640 --> 09:46.050
And then we see that what people need is to reconnect with
09:46.060 --> 09:50.720
the original solutions and resources of normal, happy life
09:51.350 --> 09:53.210
and when they can reconnect again.
09:53.220 --> 09:55.910
And that's what the brain makes impossible when you are in
09:55.920 --> 09:59.540
this negative viscious circle, it becomes almost impossible
09:59.550 --> 10:01.940
to reconnect the brain to
10:01.950 --> 10:04.280
That what you already know from before.
10:04.560 --> 10:07.750
And when you ask people with a systematic approach,
10:07.750 --> 10:10.470
the right questions on a daily basis.
10:10.470 --> 10:14.760
At that moment, people will start to find solutions.
10:15.360 --> 10:18.639
So if you're interested to find out, go to the website
10:18.639 --> 10:21.540
15minutes4me.com and do the test and have a look.
10:21.630 --> 10:22.200
Thanks a lot.
10:22.340 --> 10:23.460
Thank you
