Summary

You’ve done the therapy, read the books, and gained awareness, but the same anxious thoughts still run the show. This week’s Coaching Hotline episode dives into why understanding your patterns isn’t enough to change them and what’s really required to create lasting emotional shifts.

I help one listener who’s been through years of therapy without relief and another who’s stuck chasing validation after a breakup. Tune in to learn why insight alone doesn’t rewire your brain, how to move from self-awareness to self-mastery, and why rejection or stuckness never means you’re broken.

Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotline

Let's get into this week's questions.

0:55.5

Here's the first question. Dear Kara, I just started listening to your podcast this week,

1:00.2

and I already love it. I've been struggling with a fucked brain for a long time,

1:04.4

despite being aware that my thought patterns are what actually cause my struggle.

1:08.3

This brings me to a question that I hope you'll be able to answer for me.

1:11.6

I have seen a good number of therapists use different methodologies to work on the actual

1:16.0

source of my anxiety, stress, and depression, my brain. And yet none have been able to help me in a

1:21.6

significant way. Have you heard stories like this before? If yes, do you have a sense of what therapy
