Everything We Need To Thrive Already Exists Within Us

Who would have thought someone would have to go to prison to find their freedom. In this powerful talk, Anna Debenham, shares the simple idea that freedom of mind is available to every single one of us. That well-being is our default setting and that all we need to do is get out of our own way. Reframe your thinking with the construct of “life happening to me versus life happening through me.” For more information visit Theinsightalliance.org

With special thanks to core the TEDxPortland organizing team, 70+ volunteers and cherished partners – without you this experience would not be possible. Our event history can be found TEDxPortland.com

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Anna considers herself a “mental health plumber,” having worked in private practice and multidisciplinary healing and support teams for two decades in the U.S., Australia, and U.K. In 2017, Anna created The Insight Alliance, an organization that works with men and women in the Oregon Correctional System with a simple focus: understanding the limitless nature of the human mind, and recognizing our own innate wellbeing — that everything we need to thrive already exists within us. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
