The Uncaged Clinician

Many of us have tried traditional mindset strategies, but do you feel they truly help you break free from anxiety? Why or why not?

Could embracing vulnerability, in addition to setting boundaries, be the real key to building emotional resilience? What are your thoughts on this approach?

Welcome to another fantastic episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast! I'm your host, Kevin DeGroot, and today I'm joined by Hannah DeGroot. We're questioning the usual 'just think positive' advice for mental health. Ever felt that mindset tips seem all fluff? You're not alone!

Mindset coaching often leans on quick fixes like affirmations and rigid boundaries. However, real resilience stems from confronting, not avoiding, our emotions. Today, we'll explore how emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and genuine human connections can foster profound and lasting change.

In this episode, we’ll cover the following topics:

• The dangers of relying solely on positive affirmations for mental resilience

• Why emotional intelligence is the missing piece in traditional coaching models

• How vulnerability can be a platform for personal and professional growth

• The balance between setting boundaries and maintaining meaningful connections

• How unprocessed emotions contribute to anxiety—and how to work through them

At the heart of today’s discussion is a simple but powerful truth: mental strength isn’t about shutting out emotions; it’s about engaging with them in a way that fosters growth and connection. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, clinician, or simply someone looking to improve your mental health, this episode will give you the tools to navigate emotions in a more effective, fulfilling way.

Uncaged Hack: "Vulnerability and humanity and connection are not things that need to be sacrificed in order to be mentally strong."
