What if your diagnosis isn’t the full story – and never was?

In this video, Dr Tony Weston unpacks four mind-blowing insights about diagnosis, symptoms, and human development. He shows how traditional systems like DSM-5 and ICD-11 only cluster problems – they don’t explain why people with the same label function so differently, or how someone can move from breakdown to genuine mastery.

Dr Tony introduces the Lifelong Capacities Map® – a developmental framework of 12 universal capacities and 48 specific competencies that span the full range from distress to excellence. You’ll hear how capacities such as:

• 1.2 Adaptive Emotional Processing – turning feelings into information rather than overwhelm

• 3.4 Healthy Self-Worth – solid, non-performance-based worth

• 7.2 Intrinsic Motivation – being driven from within, not just by pressure

• 8.2 Somatic Attunement – reading body signals before burnout or shutdown

• 10.3 Adaptive Self-Monitoring – seeing your patterns in real time and adjusting kindly

• 12.1 Meaning-Making in Suffering – turning pain into deeper purpose

offer a clearer, richer roadmap than any diagnostic label ever could. Whether you’re a therapist, coach, leader, or someone on your own healing journey, this video reframes “what’s wrong with me?” into “which capacities are ready to grow next?”
