Paul Gilbert: Why You Don’t Control Your Own Thoughts! | Be Well Moments
Be Well Moments brings you my favorite bite-sized highlights from the season. Enjoy quick insights from our longer conversations in a digestible format. If you'd like to listen or watch the full episode, click the link below.
I sat down with Paul Gilbert for one of the most eye-opening conversations about the mind. What if I told you that you didn’t actually choose your emotions? That your brain was wired long before you had any say in the matter?
We got into the shadow self, why we resist certain emotions, and how evolution basically tricked us into feeling things like shame, guilt, and fear. Paul explains why we react the way we do, why some emotions feel impossible to control, and—most importantly—how we can work with them instead of against them.
If you’ve ever felt like your mind has a mind of its own, this one’s for you.
