#27 – The Neuroscience of Self Healing
Have you ever had a moment of profound healing that seemed mysterious?
Or alternately, have you ever spent years in therapy and wondered why nothing was changing?
Neuroscience has the answers to your questions. And they are really cool!
Spoiler alert: your brain is constantly rewiring its neural pathways. And you can use simple tools to direct and speed up the process.
In this episode, we look at the four magic steps you'll find under every healing experience. And I'll share some examples of how these might look in EMDR, talk therapy, breathwork, psychedelics, or even a hug from your partner.
