DISCOVER & OVERCOME YOUR EMOTIONAL DRAGONS

Are dragons ruining your life? No, not the fire-breathing dragons you read about in fairytales, but rather emotional “Dragons From The Past”—the emotional baggage that sticks around for a lifetime. These emotional dragons can make you feel sad, mad, nervous, or out of control. Most of us have at least 4 dragons dragging us down. Find out how many dragons you have and how to tame them by taking our FREE QUIZ below. https://knowyourdragons.com/assessment

MEET THE DRAGONS OF YOUR PAST

I have identified 13 Dragons from the Past, including their origins, triggers
that make them overpowering, and how they can cause you to react.

Dr. Daniel Amen

Hi, I’m Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist, founder of Amen Clinics, a 12-time New York Times bestselling author and the lead researcher on the world’s first and largest brain imaging study on NFL players. Brain health has been my passion for 40 years. Looking at the brain changed the way I practiced medicine and psychiatry, as well as the way I live my life. I have had the opportunity to work with some really brilliant, talented people, including professional athletes, pop stars, and CEOs.

One concept that has really helped them overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and other issues is learning about the Dragons from the Past. These are the inner Dragons that breathe fire on the emotional centers of your brain, making you feel sad, mad, nervous, or out of control.

When I teach my patients how to identify and tame their dragons, they feel so much better. You can too.
