“You Must Be Out of Your Mind” Podcast Ep7 clip2

The number one fear for the human mind is uncertainty. Indeed. And so when uncertainty pops up, that scares them because they like that certainty, they like the predictability. And that's why we get into habits and behaviors, because it creates predictability. We don't have to think about it, we just do it. Even if the habit behavior is not healthy, is not good for us. And so it's one of the things that we work on. So essentially what I talk to them about first is we have two memory systems. Humans have two memory systems. We have explicit memory. The way we store all the details about events and experiences. We have to get that cleared up first because if there's traumatic memory, then that's going to continue to loop. That activates the nervous system on a constant basis, which affects health. And so we work on that first. And then the second thing, which is what you were just talking about is now they have to do some work to change the habits and behaviors.
