Darren Flemming: Mindset Mastery, pushing back on mental health paradigms, stepping back from stories, and tuning into sensation.
In this episode of Make Your Mind, I sit down with behavioural scientist, psychologist, and author Darren Fleming to explore a fresh perspective on mindset, mental health, and self-reflection. Darren’s book, Mindset Mastery, challenges some conventional mental health approaches, encouraging us to step away from labels, routines, and rigid goals in favour of a simpler, more intuitive path to personal growth.
After reading his book, I was intrigued. As someone who’s spent years using therapy, journaling, and structured habits as part of my mental health journey, I wanted to dive deeper into Darren’s idea of “doing less.” Some of these concepts might feel familiar, yet his approach struck a chord with me.
For Darren, real change starts by tuning into what’s happening in the body—without labelling, analysing, or resisting. His method is about experiencing body sensations and letting go of the stories we attach to them, which he sees as a pathway to an integrated self and genuine progress.
This episode dives into some potentially controversial ideas, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
How do you feel about practices rooted in the mental health movement?
I’m still exploring these concepts myself, so if you’re on a similar journey, I’d love to hear your thoughts and keep the conversation going 📩 jess@archleys.com
