S5 E3: Why High Performance Models Fail Under Stress and Trauma with Dr Pamela Seraphine

In this episode we examine how many popular high-performance models are outdated, incomplete, and neurobiologically inaccurate because they were created before understanding how the brain functions under chronic stress, high pressure, high risk, and unresolved trauma. Working with high performers who still self-destruct privately, Dr Pamela says people often lack awareness of the true causes and may not even acknowledge having a soul, making flourishing impossible. She warns that the brain can be destructive and can mislead people into mistaking dysfunction for intuition, especially when trauma causes misfiring, leading to harmful relationship choices and misplaced distrust.   https://geni.us/HowToFindFlow   00:00 Outdated Performance Models 00:25 Self and Mind Misunderstood 01:07 High Performers Self Destruct 01:21 The Missing Soul Factor 01:41 Brain Tricks and False Intuition 01:56 Trauma Distorts Decisions 02:06 Relationships and Mistrust 02:33 Why You Can't Trust Your Brain
