Is That True?

from Good Questions · host Lauren Cestero

Your brain is not a neutral observer.It is one of the most sophisticated pattern recognition systems in the known universe — working constantly, beneath your awareness, to make meaning out of everything that happens to you.And sometimes the meaning it makes isn't true.In this episode, we get into the neuroscience of why — the default mode network, predictive processing, and what Stephen Porges' work on neuroception teaches us about the stories we tell ourselves before we're even conscious of telling them.And then we get personal. Because the system I use with every client I work with, the one that became the foundation of everything, was built in the lowest seasons of my own life, when I needed a way to ask is that true? and actually get an honest answer.That's what today is about.Good Questions drops every Tuesday. Follow so the next one finds you.Held is a free 10-minute somatic grounding practice. If today's episode resonated, start there. Find it at www.laurencestero.com.Here I am. And here you are.
