Welcome back. My name is Joseph Clough and I want to ask you something. Have you ever promised yourself that this time it will be different?

Only to find yourself in the same emotional reaction, the same hesitations, the same fear, the same avoidance, A different situation, but the same internal response.

Of course, there is not a coincidence.

There's just conditioning.

And that also means, by the way, you're not broken or unfixable.

You had just been conditioned to be this way.

And your nervous system has learned long ago how to respond to certain triggers.

Maybe it's criticism, maybe it's conflict, maybe it's visibility, maybe it's authority.

And when something in your present resembles something from your past, even subtly, subtly even.

Got it right almost there.

Your unconscious mind will automatically react in a very, very quick way trying to protect.

I say trying, because trying comes from tried and tried

means failure, right? Never really fully succeeds. So before logic, before reason, before intention,

and then afterwards you just try to explain it. But the reaction already happened and this is why you know better,

and yet you still feel stuck. Because insight alone does not rewrite emotional memory. You have to go to the level where the pattern was created.

And that's not the conscious level that we usually operate on.

It is about updating, accessing the unconscious mind, reprocessing the original emotional

learning, updating the nervous system perception of safety. When that happens, something incredible occurs.

The trigger stops triggering.

The reaction dissolves.

You respond instead of react.

This is freedom.
