Back to Episodes103: How to Stop Negative Thoughts & Rewire Your Brain with Dr. Caroline Leaf, PhD
Description
Do you find yourself constantly replaying past events—or feeling like your mind is in a state of chaos? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Leaf, PhD to explore why anxiety, overwhelm, and intrusive thought patterns aren’t signs that something is broken—but signals of how the mind is responding to stress, experiences, and unresolved patterns. We break down what thoughts actually are, how experiences are wired into “thought networks,” and why the mind controls the brain—not the other way around. Dr. Leaf also explains how it’s possible to redesign a memory—not by erasing the past, but by changing how it’s wired and how it shows up in the present.
