Your Nervous System Creates Your Perception
About this episode
This episode explores how our nervous system influences our perception of reality and emotional responses.
We often assume our emotions and reactions reflect the truth of the present moment. But in reality, our perception of ourselves, others, and the world around us is entirely shaped by our nervous system. When we’re triggered, our system is essentially “time traveling” back to the past, drawing on painful, unresolved experiences to inform how we interpret and respond to the present.
