In this enlightening TEDx talk, Hana Khalaf, an experienced therapeutic counselor, explores the transformative potential of unlocking the mind. Drawing from years of professional experience and personal insights, Hana delves into the intricate workings of the human mind and how harnessing its power can lead to profound personal growth and healing.
Through compelling stories and practical techniques, Hana demonstrates how breaking free from mental barriers can empower individuals to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and lead more fulfilling lives. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and the therapeutic process in navigating the complexities of our thoughts and emotions. Hana Khalaf is a Registered Therapeutic Counselor with the Association of Cooperative Counseling Therapists of Canada (ACCT) for the past 7 years. Currently, she works with international organizations such as UNHCR and has created a non-profit organization, Myrrh Tree Foundation, to raise money for the cause.
She's also climbed the world’s highest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, training every day, running 10k with body and mind strength training to prepare. As a long-distance runner, she's participated in over 30 marathons in over 5 continents. Part of the reason she ran was to hide her own mental illness: to cope with depression. When facing steep hills, in life and in running, one has to dig deep to find a way to persevere. Running has given Hana the outlet to overcome the limitations of the mind and now she wishes to assist others in overcoming such mental illnesses. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
