Corwin CJ Moneyway Johnson explains how childhood coping mechanisms get stuck in your brain and stay there into adulthood. He uses a software upgrade metaphor to show how to rewire those patterns for real change, not just daily affirmations.

We can't change what happened to us, but we can recognize that what we did as children was to adapt to often difficult situations. But sometimes those behaviors and adaptations we carry into adulthood and they just no longer serve us. So there's really amazing techniques that are available to go in and not just remember that, oh yeah, that was a coping mechanism, but to actually go in and change the circuitry and some of the patterns in our software, kind of like a software upgrade to, you know, CJ 2.0, where you're in there and you modify some of these patterns so things just don't trigger you as much. And it really is powerful. And that's like, sometimes we talk about lasting change, because like to go back and just have daily affirmations to try and push those things down is really ineffective.
