Teta also highlights the limitations of traditional therapeutic approaches and advocates for a more holistic understanding of health that incorporates both psychological and physiological aspects.takeawaysNervous system regulation is a popular trend but not the root cause of health issues.Identity and consciousness play a crucial role in health and wellness.Childhood experiences significantly shape our identity and perceptions.The stories we tell ourselves influence our reality and health outcomes.Integration of identities and experiences is essential for personal growth.Understanding, believing, and knowing are different stages of personal transformation.Traumas are events, while dramas are our interpretations of those events.Books and logical explanations alone do not lead to lasting change.The subconscious mind plays a key role in shaping our identities and behaviors.A holistic approach to health must consider both psychological and physiological factors.CHAPTERS:0:00Solo Setup & Bold Thesis3:48Career Roots & Functional Medicine Path6:45Diet Fads To Hormones To Nerves10:31Materialism vs Idealism Explained13:30PNEI System Reframed Through Identity16:37Identity Shapes Filters And Physiology19:09Justin Joins: Identity vs Psychology22:30Parts, Personality, And The Default Mode26:00Understanding, Believing, Knowing29:29Hidden Patterns And Subconscious Change33:41Dimmer Switch: What Regulation Means36:30Rewriting Stories And Boundaries40:41Rewrite, Rewire, Retrain Framework44:45Therapy, EMDR, And Practice Gaps Connect with Next Level HumanWebsite: www.nextlevelhuman.comsupport@nextlevelhuman.comConnect with Dr. Jade TetaWebsite: www.jadeteta.comInstagram: @jadeteta
