Summary

In the last episode, we explored what Sue and Ann call the 3-R spiral of change, Recognize, Reflect and Rewire. We also identified various common defenses. In this episode, Ann & Sue break down the different areas of our brain and discuss the roles each can play in our defense responses. Understanding the critical interplay between the amygdala and hippocampus gives us more insight into our own behavior and sheds light on how our history can intrude today. They explain the concept of "coherent narrative" and discuss applying the 3 R Spiral to our relationships and personal healing. By blending neuroscience and these strategies, we can begin to sort through our unconscious defenses and rewire the ways in which we navigate our interpersonal world.

0:00.0	That's the mediator that can then get our sense of ourselves and our narrative.
0:05.2	You hear about coherent narrative. This is all about coherent narrative where we make sense of our
0:10.3	life story and then it can store in this higher part of our brain where that we can reflect on
0:15.6	ourselves and all the good stuff about that. So that's the gist of that and why this is important
0:20.8	is that when we are just in our unconscious selves and we're just doing the defense and we're not
0:25.3	that interested or we just haven't yet been able to admit it to ourselves that we do these
0:30.0	things. We're wanting to move it up the brain stem into this middle section where that we can
0:35.2	work on it, reflect on it, make sense of it and now we have consciousness, right? With consciousness
0:43.4	then we can sort out what do we want to keep, what do we not want to keep? That goes back to that
0:47.3	three hours and then recognize and then reflect and then then we wire. Welcome to Therapist Uncensored,

1:56.8	Disarming Human Defensiveness. That is what we decided to call it. But it's about like yeah,
2:02.7	how do you know that you're you're in your own defense and how do you get out of your own way?
