About this episode

This episode explores how childhood experiences shape perception and the importance of reclaiming one's own view of reality.

Your brain processes roughly 11 million bits of information every second, yet you're consciously aware of only about 50. Which raises a fascinating question: if you're only seeing a tiny fraction of reality, who decided what made the cut? Today on Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we're exploring the hidden filters that shape your perception—and how to reclaim the power to see life through your own eyes.
