Norman Farb breaks down why our identities are built more by sensation than story. We explore how mindfulness reshapes the brain, why chronic pain is often a narrative loop, and how tuning into our internal signals might be the key to better relationships, emotional resilience, and even decision-making. If you've ever felt stuck in your own patterns, this episode challenges the idea that change starts with thought. It starts with what you feel.
