In trauma recovery, separating our sense of self from our brain function can be a powerful tool. This episode explores the concept that we are not our brains, bodies, experiences, emotions, or thoughts. By challenging societal narratives about the brain and consciousness, we can reframe our self-perception and reduce shame associated with trauma responses. Understanding the limitations of current scientific knowledge about consciousness helps us approach our healing journey with more self-compassion. This perspective shift can alleviate some of the emotional distress and self-judgment that often accompany trauma, allowing for a more balanced approach to recovery.
