Episode notes
Limiting Beliefs Are Brain Networks Not Sentences
- Limiting beliefs are mini networks your brain builds to keep you safe, not tidy sentence statements.
- Muchelleb explains they’re stored as memories, emotional links, and predictions that activate when the brain thinks safety is threatened.
Dog Park Bite Created A Lasting Safety Network
- Muchelleb shares her mother being bitten at a dog park to show how a single event creates a fear association with dogs.
- The brain learns 'dogs equals danger' and later reactivates that lesson to keep the person away from dogs.
