If you missed last week's episode, we introduced you to Dr. Don Wood and revealed how unresolved trauma is the hidden root cause of anxiety, depression, anger, autoimmune issues, ADHD, addiction, and so much more.

This week, we're going deeper into how trauma impacts your performance, your parenting, your success, and your business.

And this Tuesday at 10 AM Central, Dr. Don and I are hosting a FREE live training where we're going to show you the steps to heal the trauma that's been holding you back.

I don't recommend things I haven't used myself. This work changed my life. It changed my wife Janiece's life. And it's changed every single person I've sent Dr. Don's way.

Episode Description:

Welcome to Part 2 of our groundbreaking conversation with Dr. Don Wood, where we dive deep into how unresolved trauma sabotages your performance, your parenting, and your ability to reach the next level in every area of life.

In this episode, you'll discover why your conscious mind knows what to do, but your subconscious mind keeps pulling you back into old patterns. Dr. Wood reveals the shocking truth: your subconscious has no concept of time. 

When something triggers an old trauma, your nervous system responds as if the threat is happening right now, activating fight-or-flight and shutting down your ability to perform, connect, and heal.

Think about it. Why would your brain focus on healing or maintenance if it thinks it’s running from a bear? 

This episode answers the question: What becomes possible when your nervous system is no longer running on a decades-old threat response? The answer will change the game for you.

If you've been hitting invisible ceilings, getting in your way right when things are going well, or struggling to be present despite knowing better, this episode reveals why, and what you can actually do about it.

Key Takeaways: 

• Your subconscious mind operates in the present tense only. It has no concept of "10 years ago," which is why triggers activate your nervous system as if the original trauma is happening right now.
• The duck analogy that changes how you view your brain. Dr. Wood explains why animals don't hold onto trauma (they live in the present) while humans replay events and create meaning that keeps us stuck in loops.
• Janiece's birth trauma transformation. How Brad's wife went from being unable to talk about their daughter's traumatic birth without crying, to having zero emotional charge after healing the trauma with Dr. Wood.
• Why your body won't heal in fight-or-flight. When your nervous system perceives a threat, it shuts down maintenance and repair functions, leading to chronic health issues that won't resolve until you heal the trauma.
• How to break the generational cycle. Dr. Wood reveals why apologizing to your children and demonstrating change can prevent passing your unresolved trauma to the next generation.
• The real reason for performance ceilings. It's not your strategy, intelligence, or work ethic. It's your nervous system operating at 30-40% capacity because it's stuck in survival mode.
• "Nothing is permanent. Everything is fixable." Dr. Wood's powerful reminder that brain plasticity means you can heal trauma at any age and unlock the potential that's been buried beneath survival mode.
