The Brain You Have, The Brain You Want Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

Trauma and Tragedy Tell Us Lies.

Those lies can make you believe that you’re always going to feel what you’re feeling, and that it can’t ever change. You’ll believe that how you respond to pain is “just how I am,” but I have good news for you, my friend: you are NOT STUCK with the brain you have.

Here’s a great talk about directed neuroplasticity, transforming our minds, and how to find hope.

Books Mentioned: Disruptive Thinking by TD Jakes, The Mind and the Brain by Jeffrey Schwartz, and Hope Is the First Dose by ME!
