Dr. Francisco Navarro, a triple board-certified psychiatrist and founder of ResWell Health, recently delivered an impactful TEDx talk that has garnered significant attention and praise. Dr. Navarro’s presentation, titled “Harnessing the Power of Your iBully,” captivated the audience as he delved into the neuroscience and psychology behind the inner critic that resides in all of us.
Drawing from his extensive personal and professional experiences, Dr. Navarro shared his journey from overcoming early life trauma to becoming a leading figure in mental health. Dr. Navarro faced numerous challenges, including medical trauma and selective mutism, which made him a target for bullies. His transformative journey led him to become curious about understanding how trauma and suffering affect individuals, particularly the dynamics of bullying.
In his TEDx talk, Dr. Navarro introduced the concept of the “iBully,” the negative inner voice that hinders personal growth and fulfillment. He explained how this internal bully, rooted in the amygdala of the brain, can be managed and transformed through self-compassion, gratitude, and evidence-based strategies. His seven-step approach, encapsulated in the acronym “RSWELL,” offers practical tools for individuals to shift from a survival mindset to one of thriving.
Dr. Navarro’s TEDx talk is not only a testament to his expertise but also a reflection of his dedication to mental health advocacy. As a clinical supervisor at UCLA and an active member of several prestigious psychiatric associations, Dr. Navarro has made significant contributions to the field. He founded the “Greeting Life’s Opportunities” (GLO) program to support parents in coping with daily stressors and has led numerous workshops to train mental health providers in integrative approaches.
Dr. Navarro’s mission is to educate the community, optimize health, and eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health. His integrative, whole-person approach has established him as a leader and innovator in psychiatry, providing life-changing care at ResWell Health.
