Micro-Course 3 — Psychological Self-Awareness

Core Module 1 · Mentalis Method™ — Pillar 1

Course Overview

In this micro-course, we go deeper into the inner workings of the mind by exploring psychological self-awareness—the ability to recognize how thoughts, emotions, and internal patterns shape perceptions and behaviors.

We begin by exploring why self-awareness is essential for emotional balance, clearer decision-making, and healthier relationships. You will learn to identify cognitive distortions, the mental shortcuts and biases that can lead to inaccurate thinking and unnecessary emotional stress. Understanding these patterns helps you notice when your mind is working against you and how to shift toward more balanced perspectives.

Next, we explore emotional triggers—why certain situations create intense reactions and what those reactions may reveal about deeper beliefs, unresolved experiences, or unmet needs. We also examine recurring thought patterns, and how repeated mental habits shape identity and responses over time.

Throughout the course, you’ll be guided through practical exercises designed to help you notice, question, and transform unhelpful patterns. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your inner landscape and tools to create healthier psychological habits with greater self-compassion.
