If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I broken or just stuck?” this video is your starting point.
Dr Tony Weston — psychotherapist, award-winning researcher, author, and creator of the Lifelong Capacities Map® — introduces PsycheVita®, a new way to understand “mental health” as psychological–emotional vitality, not just symptom management.
You’ll hear how the Lifelong Capacities Map® organises human development into:
12 capacities and 48 competencies, each rated on a 1–5 behavioural scale
Examples like 1.2 Adaptive Emotional Processing (part of Emotional Capacity 1) moving from “numbing and avoidance” (Level 2) towards “emotions as constructive guides” (Level 4)
How this work links to other key competencies such as 3.4 Healthy Self-Worth, 7.2 Intrinsic Motivation, 10.4 Reflective Decision-Making, and 4.1 Empathic Attunement
You’ll also hear about real clinical contexts — including Dr Tony’s work supervising therapists in a residential centre for young people convicted of serious offences — and how growth in relational capacities transformed lives that once looked ‘unreachable’.
This video orients you to the whole PsycheVita ecosystem: the Vitality Scale (0–5), the Lifelong Capacities Map, and your next steps via free worksheets, the Transform Your Life book, and deeper work inside the PsycheVita membership.
