Ever wondered if you can really trust your brain? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner and Lee explore the fascinating concept of how our brains interpret reality and whether we should rely on those interpretations. They dive into the difference between what our brains perceive and what our bodies experience, shedding light on how this impacts our mental health and overall well-being.
Lee shares his insights from Lisa Feldman Barrett's book, 'How Emotions Are Made', and discusses how our brains are essentially in a 'black box', relying on electrical signals to make sense of the world. The conversation is packed with humour and real-life anecdotes, making complex ideas easily digestible. Bob and Lee challenge the notion of 'my truth' and emphasise the importance of questioning our thoughts and feelings.
They provide practical advice on how to stay grounded in reality by paying attention to our senses and questioning our automatic thoughts. Whether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, or just curious about how your mind works, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. Tune in for a blend of science, philosophy, and humour that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about your brain.
