- In this age of propaganda, we find ourselves influenced not only by the voices of traditional and social media, but by our own inner voices. In this unique piece blending science and inspiration, Psychologist and Performance Poet, Owen Fitzpatrick, shares his own heartfelt journey through depression and low self-esteem. He describes the key to taking back control of our minds and winning the war in our heads.
Owen Fitzpatrick is a globetrotting Psychologist from Dublin, Ireland. He has travelled to more than 92 countries and delivered talks and courses in more than 27 countries helping them to understand more about how their brain works. Owen has a masters in Applied Psychology, had his own television show on RTE ONE for a couple of years and has spoken on stage with the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Seth Godin and Dr Richard Bandler.
He has presented lectures and talks in University College Cork, Trinity College Dublin and the Michael Smurfit Business School. Having travelled as far as countries such as North Korea, Rwanda and Afghanistan for his research, Owen has been fascinated with how propaganda, storytelling and influence works. Co-founder of the Irish Institute of NLP, Owen has spent many years working as a therapist and corporate trainer. A trained actor and screenwriter, he has specialised in the power of stories as a tool to influence.

"when you're depressed you don't think negatively, you believe negatively"
Cecil Shelby yeah this comment was EVERYTHING. 💜
You can't rhyme "negatively" with "negatively"!
While we're at it, "machetes" doesn't rhyme with "babies".
3 words: DOUBLE DOUBLE respect
Alex C I'm sure you "believe" that
So true. This is the only sentence stuck in my mind on the entire speech. Been meditating on it.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm sorry to those of you who found the rhyming distracting. My other videos on my youtube channel may be easier to make sense of. To those who found it embarrassing to watch, think how embarrassing it was to do!! ;) I also know 'struggling' and 'beating' the voice is just one possibility and you can also 'accept or choose peace', but different things work for different people. To those who found it helpful or useful at all, really glad it made even a bit of a difference... that was the point. I really appreciate your kind comments and sincerely hoped it connected with you.
As someone who has only recently begun to find success in a life-long fight against low self-esteem - thanks for this talk, Dr. Fitzpatrick. I found the spoken word portions beautiful and insightful. The rap portions were uncomfortable to listen to, but I felt it was intentional, even necessary for your message. It's why I found it so inspiring - I felt like I was watching you flip the bird at that inner voice on stage by creating that discomfort. I couldn't help but admire the courage it took to go out and share your story in such a vulnerable and powerful way.
Legend stuff,keep it up,kudos to you for your public speaking skill and your powerful message.
The rap was art
Owen Fitzpatrick excellent
Loved it! Thanks!
4 lines in and I'm like, "Is my dude rhyming?... his Ted X talk?" BALLS!
Great to hear Vincent Van Gogh for the first time
Hahaha..I thought the same 😂
so Van Gogh was a rapper
jesus
That was also the first thought in mi mind when I saw him, and I didn't know he was such a great rapper!
I was thinking when did i see this guy before until i saw your comment.. 😂😂
I struggle with voices in my head, voices that aren't mine. I've gone crazy for 2 years and this video is a huge inspiration to me, I'm just glad someone understands.
I'm proud of you, Lynda. Keep going
May Allah help you with your troubles Lynda
They are using V2K voice skull technology RNM remote neuro monitoring on you and millions of others globally, at this point we are quickly becoming food for the archons.

When negative thinking start in my mind i just said "Boys you are mine and I'm in charge here", just works
It truly does. I start to say “You have no power unless I give ‘em to you” and my mind clears up
Wow 🤩
a true master psychologist with apparent skill in language and memory. its hard for anyone to give a tedtalk alone just from slides. was delightful to watch.
How the heck did he memorize this whole speech? This is amazing. So glad I came across this
thats what im thinking and i make music 😭
That’s literally what I was thinking too. I was like oh he’s done rhyming. Oh wait. He still… going. 🤯
I took this video so personal,
Felt like you were in my head
For years I've consumed this personality
As if it was life's bread
No longer will I face adversity
That fills my life with dread
Now I will create a new reality
And throw away the one that's dead
Thanks Owen
Bro, spitting flames
Bro you are a champion in my heart
For the voice is mild most times except where I have to speak to a girl or job interview. The voice says' You know she couldn't possibly be interested and will reject you-the interviews are for the geniuses. Walk away NOW'. The voice always win that is why am jobless and no girlfriend so far.
Willie Davis Good job dude! Your creative as well:)
Dude, that's deep
Owen, what a very unique delivery. You surprised, educated, thought-provoked, entertained, charmed and enthralled the audience with your talk. Thank YOU.
Thanks a lot Frederique. Great job you too!! :-)
;-)
Frederique Murphy I do agree

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTWORKS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!
This made me cry multiple times. Resonates with me deeply. To all of you who are struggling, you’re brave. Keep up the good work. Thank you Owen
Great 'talk' on the struggles in your head and how to overcome them. Simply love the way you did this poetic rap. Mesmerising. Thanks.
Thanks a lot John. Much appreciated!
i read a story at Mindcontrol SE -web page , about the mind technology chip. (mindtech sweden) it helped me, and i have exactly same things and effects happened. i have chip too . Had it 3 years,1st year they listen my thoughts, and effect my natural use of attention, second year they touch my body motoristics and also start the kind of mind reading torture you described - they seem to use it to keep man not doing anything. they can react from your observations, and they follow your use of your attention to notice things in world. They can repeat my thoughts as words but they seem to be building systems where other persons say parts of the sentence im going to say. They can jam my thoughts for a half second and prevent me from thinking a word, and they say that word themselves then. They study how man use the memory of another man. Another man can use my memory. Human brainwaves are so similar that they can do this so another mans brain system understand another man brain. They send my all senses brainwaves data to another man, and with smaller effect his brainwaves to me. the brainwaves coming from another man are send to me fragmented. Now its been about 3 years, and he he tries to CONTINUE my started thoughts. The system is digital, and digitally controlled. I've seen medtronic nuclear battery and implant combination and such but i don know which firms chip i got (darpa or medtronic or ). i suspect it was installed when my wisdom teeths were moved, and installed in place of teeth , or close to brain via mouth, it took an hour (too much ) . I have travelled around the world, and it still worked, in aeroplanes , and in new zeland, or finland. It uses satellite system. they can see through my eyes of course. the chip is still active and i can speak with the people who torment me . They effect to use attention and in case of some people they can make him feel someone means to look at him like they know him or even that someone is stalking him, its because the other people connected to him via chip, is effecting his use of attention and feeling something about those people.

Owen Fitzpatrick Thank you for your talk. That was well conditioned and appealing.
A different and very powerful TEDx talk.
Thanks a lot Christine :-)

I have often told people that I don't listen to music is because our brains are wired to accept the rhythms and rhymes as truth. The lyrics in songs become part of our thinking, that takes away from my ability to think for myself . That music can and dose hijack the mind. You have used this predilection of the human mind to resonate to the patterns in the music of speech very effectively. Not just your rapping but the rhyme you put to your reason. I will be watching this talk many more times as I fight my own battle with the bully in my head. Thank you for this valuable tool.
So so sooo creative! Take a bow!
...Also do take a bow, Sir...wow
I learned how to manage my mind years ago after sequels of depression and anxiety. I identified my pattern of thoughts as the problem. I learned with books how to teach and reset my mind and also developed my spirituality and those two things got me out of that dark hole. Now I can identify unhealthy thinking patterns and I know how to manage them. All this requires inner knowledge, patience, determination, and a lot of self love too. ❤
Just came across this whilst going through my own "internal war"; it made me smile, it related, it helped. One of the best videos I've watched on the subject. Thank you Owen.
4:33 Everyone looks serious and then there's that 1 guy in the middle...
Good eye 😂
Hes cool af 😂

God this touches a very sensitive nerve! The raging war in my head! The negative voice in my head, sometimes I feel like it's two separate worlds the one in my head n the one outside, and sometimes I just say to my self "God I just wish I could live outside my head, then I will see how beautiful the world is" !! It is really so tiring! But just remember it's just pointless meaningless bored voices that just want to say sth! We're not the voices in our heads! We're more beautiful, more free n more stronger! Thanks
Wow, this is a very strong message, I dont think I have seen anyone put so much thought into how to create an entertaining, poetic, educational speech all at once and for 10 whole minutes! I take off my hat to you, it is inspirational.
my mind tried to convince me today was a bad day yet I struggled thru it. Thank you, this is my confirmation that today was not a bad day. I made it thru it.
I hope you've been having brighter days ever since (&, bad days are okay, too!)
I literally just watched this video twice. I have to comment twice. I'll probably keep commenting again as I watch this over and over. I absolutely adore everything about this speech. It's not just the rhyming and the way it was delivered, but so many valid points connecting for me. For example, the reminder of how important cognitive behavioral therapy is and that we can write our own story. This speech isn't just another piece of content. This speech is a masterpiece. It is a Ted Talk and a motivational speech all in one. My heart lights up every time I watch this. Owen Fitzpatrick, thank you so much for taking the time to make this contribution to humanity. It means so much to me.
"Convicts of our own convictions."
Brilliant
I'd love to have coffee with this guy!
God oh god how I needed to see this.
Delighted it was of help!
@Robert Walsh A PhD I believe .
"You're like Eminem without the skill, words, or timing." Real life laugh-out-loud at that line!
Thank you, Owen, for the powerful message and unforgettable delivery. Tears of gratitude over here.
"When you're depressed you BELIEVE negatively."
Austin James , Yap! That sank in me.
Owen Fitzpatrick , you're an amazing person. One of the most influential Ted Talks I've ever seen. Such knowledge & light you've shed on an important topic that it's become priceless! I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful one-way interaction. Please keep spreading the light and I'll follow.
This talk got me sober!!!!
Ahmed Ibrahim Congratulations dude!
Congratulations 💕💕
Congratulations!
The key in battling in this war:
Pushing back
Refusing to accept it choosing to reject it
I am watching this over and over...I just loving it, the content, the presentation....simply amazing..way to go Owen!!
Owen, You have shown us how to laugh in the face of Despair. What then is impossible for us to achieve?
This is a beautiful piece of Slam Poetry, thanks Owen for this talk. Really inspiring!
Thanks a lot Riccardo
True . Beautifully done .
When he said that being depressed isn't thinking negatively but believing negatively .... amazing. That is an excellent way of putting it.
The acting was on spot. Matter of fact, this is what happens in our brain, a constant struggle! Nice to remind ourselves who's in control!
I've been at war with myself for so long, almost don't remember a time when I wasn't.
it's difficult. I feel similar
that just tells you that it's time to fight that other you and let the real you win
Martina Lacho
that may be so
@@tini777 I doo all the time, and it's exhausting.
@@poodtang2104 but you know that you can actually win. you can use the wisdom of this particular guy as a guide. also I recommend looking into some of Alan Watt’s lectures as well as Sadhguru’s
THIS OMG! This is the BEST Ted Talk I've EVER seen. I don't think ANYTHING will ever top this. I loved this ted talk! This is the most poetic speech I've ever heard. The effort that went into conveying his thoughts and the important points he makes all while emphasizing it in dramatic fashion is so damn good. I cannot applaud this enough. Well done! 👏I wish I could give this video a million likes.
What a video, just loved it. Every individual is going through a war inside their head and let us be the warriors and stop the genocide by our mind.
Owen: I am determined to spread your video. I truly believe it saves lives...People look outside and the dialogue is inside...and yes it is about being stronger and GRATEFUL! So thank you! Nice soul you have for sharing this.
This is one of the most creative ted talks I've seen and it touched my heart
What a masterpiece. Overwhelming, inspiring, truthful, vulnerable and strong - just wow.
Thank you for being honest, your purity shines through. I needed to hear you.
I struggle so much with internal propaganda. This was an inspiring video, reminds me that its not all like that.
This was amazing! To do a coherent, effective 10-minute speech in rhyme and do it well! The beauty of TED-talk is that folks from different experiences bring unique, creative approaches to share their personal experience with the world. This was one of the most creative I've seen yet! Cheers to you for your creativity and courage! And a sincere thank you, from another human who battles with her mind.
This is one of the best Ted Talks I think I've ever seen. The way he presents it for people to relate too is powerful and right on. Thank you sir!
Even though someone is trying to control me, I'm too strong to really let someone do this to me.
I'm glad I watched this talk. He delivered his message so creatively and so powerfully.
Wow, he just described almost exactly what is going on in my head, me vs myself, and he did it so creatively.
I loved it, and i love eminem 🤗
This is great, sometimes it's hard to listen to ted talks when you are feeling low. When you're sad, it's hard to find things interesting. The rhyming really helped fight this. I also liked how the "rap battles" interrupted the poem. It felt like a metaphor for how overthinking interrupts any time. This really helped me, thankyou!
When I hear too much to my negative inner thoughts I use your presentation as a mental readjustment. Usually at least once a week I listen . Thanks to your help I can keep the self-negativity at bay. Thank you Sir!
This was , and still is amazing.
Thank you for this.
one of the best Ted talks ever. totally amazing and relatable in every way xx
Goosebumps at the end there. Very phenomenal lecture.
It’s like you have to close your eye to visualize what he’s saying. I love it!
I love that after the beat stops i still hear those beats in my head rhyming with the rest of the talk.
Damn this guy is a genius
Absolutely awesome! Best Ted ever! ..and now I've watched it all, exceptionally clever! xx :)
Thanks Joy :)

He illustrated choice so well.
There is always hope and possibility. Choose the positive position.
Decide what outcome you want and move towards it!
You are only defeated by the lies you believe.
Fantastic as always Owen!
hats off to you Sir, never get tired of listening to you, it was wonderful, was in awe of your mind boggling Ted talk.
I almost cried. Thank you for your generosity.
I love this ted talk and keep coming back to it years after I’ve watched it.
That was great even though it made me anxious for some unknown reason. Maybe it was because I was hearing and seeing truth.
Brilliant message Owen. So beautifully put across through the medium of poetry. Ronan
Thanks a million Ronan. Very much appreciated!

Absolutely fantastic moving educational and helpful rap rhyme talk . I listen to Ted talks every night and you are a winner and Irish ! Want to know more about you ! I live in Offaly !
Thanks a lot Nida. My website is owenfitzpatrick.com. Really appreciate the kind words.
I can appreciate the mesmerising delivery.
I only wish I could understand more of the content. English is not my first language .
This is true. Having to work against the slight impedance of the rhyming sharpens the attention makes the talk more memorable. Clever.
That was one of the best Ted talks I’ve listened to. Truly genius. Thank you.
