Description
Do you have to be a bit nutty to be a serious lifter? After promising to interview some psychology experts, the guys start close to home with Counselor Kelly Lowery. She's not only graduate-trained, but has been around (and lived with) bodybuilding for decades. Lots of questions and issues get addressed. Are elite athletes abnormal? Are they protected from mental disorders? What toll does chronic pain take, and why do lifters endure it while pressing on? What about aging and identity loss in long-time lifters? And what about the mania and subsequent depression that can be induced by anabolic steroids? Join in as the discussion turns to what counselors do to treat anxiety, depression, and other issues that many strength athletes face. Also get a list of cognitive errors (stinking thinking) that counselors help clients, including lifters, identify. Do YOU fall prey to any of these in your work with the iron?
