Getting to the Root of Our Challenges

In this episode, we talk about how the In the Cortex method works when you're looking at getting to the root of your challenges, difficulties, and behaviors. We used one of Dani's current challenges and worked through it using exactly the processes that make up ITC!

What We Judge

When I am sharply judgmental of any other person, it's because I sense or see reflected in them some aspect of myself that I don't want to acknowledge. - Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts In this episode, we explore judgment and discernment and how that can support your ITC journey. Judgment is outward-focused: it is about what other people do, say, or think. Discernment, on the other hand, is your ability to know for yourself what is right and wrong, what you want or not, what works for you or doesn't, what you do or not do. It's about you. Before we talk about judgment, we want to be clear that judgment is very different from discernment. Judgment is the act of forming opinions or conclusions about something based on available information or personal beliefs. It often involves a quick assessment of a situation or a person's actions, which can sometimes lead to snap decisions or stereotypes. On the other hand, discernment involves a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to evaluating situations or people. It usually entails careful observation, analysis, and consideration of many different factors before arriving at a well-reasoned conclusion. Discernment emphasizes the use of critical thinking and open-mindedness, always looking to understand nuances and complexities to create a more balanced and insightful perspective. While judgment may be influenced by biases and preconceptions, discernment aims to rise above such limitations, fostering a more objective and accurate understanding of the world around us. Here's a little secret: what we judge says a lot about ourselves. It's like a mirror reflecting back our own beliefs, values, and insecurities. When we find ourselves pointing fingers or passing judgments, it's an opportunity to take a closer look within. You see, what triggers us or makes us critical often reveals the areas we need to work on ourselves. So instead of getting caught up in judgment, we invite you to approach it with curiosity and compassion. Let's use it as a chance for self-reflection and growth. Embracing this mindset allows us to learn more about ourselves, deepen our empathy, and foster greater understanding. So, the next time you catch yourself judging, remember, it's an invitation to explore your own inner landscape and become a kinder, more compassionate version of yourself.

Navigating Resistance with ITC

In this episode, we talk about resistance to the work. We've all been there! We want to keep going, we want to create a positive change in our lives, we want to feel better, but...there's just part of us that doesn't want to! Join us to talk about why this happens, what to do, and a few strategies for when you're in that resistant mode. Along with a few tangents, of course :)

What's Possible with ITC

In today's episode, we chat with one of our ITC Members, Melissa Johnson. She has been reorganizing her brain since September 2023 and it's safe to say she's living in her cortex these days :) Join us as she shares all the changes her and her family have experienced in less than a year.

Cultivating Awareness with ITC

In this episode of the podcast, we delve into the concept of awareness and its critical importance in our daily lives. We look into the various dimensions of awareness, especially when it comes to doing the program. We discuss how being mindful of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings can enhance our mental well-being, improve relationships, and lead to a more cortex life!

What We Focus On

We'll discuss how the topics we choose to focus on not only shape our learning but also expand and grow in significance. We'll also delve into the importance of gratitude, reframing our experiences to see the amazing opportunities they present. Don't miss our recommendation for the Gratitude episode from the Hidden Brain podcast for further insights. Understanding the mind's power is crucial, so we'll discuss the article "Pain is a Message: How Our Brains Try to Protect Us" from Psychology Today, emphasizing how redirection and getting someone into their cortex can be key. We'll address the difference between nurturing and coddling, particularly in parenting. How can we balance teaching independence without enabling dependency? This topic is geared toward parents and caregivers. Finally, we'll confront the challenges of starting brainwork and examine why we sometimes focus on pain and injury. Are we stuck in a victim mentality? What needs are being met by constantly discussing our injuries? Join us for an enlightening conversation on harnessing the power of focus, gratitude, and the mind.

The Importance of Noticing

In this episode, we dive into the theme of Module 1 of the program: what we notice. Life is made up of the small moments, but do we even notice our thoughts, patterns, ideals, and even our changes? In this episode we dive deeper into the importance of noticing on your brainwork journey.
