The Barometer of Perception: Where Reality Stands Pt. 1

In the first half of this two part episode, we discuss how reality is a perceptual and relative experience, life is not objective and our brains have evolved in an effort to survive this world. Our perspective of life is based on a myriad of factors, including our experiences, as well as the state of our brain health, along with when and where we were born and how we grew up. We consider how trauma and violence came to be so pervasive in our societies, exploring patterns of generational trauma and how it impacts the development of our brains, ultimately how we are able to overcome trauma through the understanding of neuro-plasticity of the brain.
