That's when we see some of the mental illnesses we see today: rumination, overthinking, depression, and PTSD.” (10:55 - 11:10) • “Our goal here at Resilience Code is to cater to that peak performance mindset to support, clarify, improve client's ability to fall asleep, and get effective sleep.” (19:28 - 19:40)  • “There's the victim mentality, and there's not. If you want to build a skyscraper, you have every opportunity to do that. If you want to rebuild a five-story building, you have every opportunity to do that. If you don't want to rebuild, you also have the opportunity. Neurofeedback allows people to see the skyscraper and reach for it.” (34:20 - 34:37)  • “I would say within the scope of Neurofeedback, I see a lot of people trying to do it on their own. In my opinion, our society caters to people suffocating themselves by trying to be it all to themselves. We were put on this earth to be a community. So, opening your arms and allowing people to see what's going on for you and allowing them to allow yourself to be vulnerable, but also allowing to yourself to ask for help.” (36:26 - 36:29)   Links   Connect with Sarah Murphy https://www.braincodecenters.com/ https://www.instagram.com/neuroninjasarah/ https://www.instagram.com/resiliencecode/ https://www.instagram.com/braincodecenters/ Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew’s Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew’s Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
