If it feels like your symptoms won’t budge—no matter what you try—there might be a deeper reason. In this video, we explore how the brain’s default settings are wired for safety, not thriving, and why that can keep even the most determined people stuck in chronic symptoms.
You’ll learn what those settings are, why they’re so powerful, and the specific steps you can take to gently interrupt them and support real change.
