There’s something sacred about realizing that your healing journey isn’t just about fixing what feels broken, it’s about reclaiming what was always yours.

Volume 1 of Neurological Intelligence may feel like med school for your soul. You start to learn the blueprint of your nervous system, how your past shaped you, and how unresolved memories still live inside you. In Volume 2, you’re in residency, learning how to perform “inner-world surgery” on yourself. This isn’t just information anymore. It’s transformation.

Through what’s called the Re-Claiming Process, you’re not just noticing your patterns, you’re actively shifting them. You begin to interrupt your disempowered autopilot, the one where you lose yourself in reactive survival and instead, create empowered choices. You’re rewiring how you respond, mindfully, with intention.

You’re starting to work with powerful tools and strategies, neurological instruments that help you heal deep, unresolved wounds. That’s where the real roots of your pain live. Through strategic meditative experiences, you’re learning how to drop beneath the noise of your thinking mind into the deep well of your body, where your truth lives, and where healing truly happens.

It’s like being handed the keys to an inner operating system you didn’t even know you had.

As you reclaim the best of who you are, you become someone who can pass the pearl forward, supporting your family, your clients, your community by living as a Mindful Empowered Leader, from the inside out.

It’s like walking through a burning forest, thinking everything is lost, only to return later and see wildflowers growing through the ash. Your healing is the bloom after the burn. So, what if the next version of you isn’t something you have to find… but something you reclaim from within?

"You don’t heal by thinking your way out,

you heal by feeling your way home."

— Glenn S. Cohen

#CenterForNI

There’s a sacred moment when the pain becomes too loud to ignore. I know that space, where sadness, confusion, and frustration swirl together like fog. Maybe you do too. That moment isn’t the end. It’s the invitation. The invitation to do the work, to learn, stretch, heal, and grow. To choose feeling, even when it’s very uncomfortable.

This journey of Neurological Intelligence isn’t about fixing. It’s about releasing. It’s about courageously facing your reactive thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and stories with awareness, loving kindness and compassion.

Healing begins when you stop trying to figure it all out and start feeling your way through. Not with logic or analysis, but with presence and permission to feel what’s been buried. I’ve learned that healing happens in the body, in the breath, in the places I once avoided. It’s about softening, not solving.

And here’s what’s wild, my resistance and reactivity isn’t a sign I’m doing it wrong. It’s a sign I’m getting closer to the edge of a breakthrough. This work asks us to stop arguing for our limitations and start advocating for our evolution. To shift from deflection to ownership. From inherited dysfunction to mindful choice. From “same old” to “this stops with me.”

Personal evolution isn’t a straight line, it’s a spiral. Some days, I circle back to old patterns. But now, I catch myself sooner. Choose differently. Heal deeper. You don’t need to be perfect to begin. You just need to say yes.

Healing is like walking barefoot through a misty forest, soft ground beneath your feet, light filtering through fog, each step uncovering a path that was always waiting for you. So, what part of your inner world is quietly waiting for you to finally feel it, instead of figuring it out?

If this resonates with you, feel free to DM me. I’d love to hear from you. If you are interested in working together, send me an email from the Request Initial Interview page on my website.

“The nervous system remembers

what the heart tries to forget,

but healing begins

when we stop running

and start listening.”

- Glenn S. Cohen

I recently caught a Mel Robbins podcast featuring Dr. Gabor Maté, and wow, it hit me right in the heart. As he spoke about trauma and the nervous system, I felt this deep yes inside. His words echoed so much of what I’ve lived, and what I teach through Neurological Intelligence. Especially the part about tendencies to hide, numb, run and project our pain through either chaos or rigid patterns and various reactive behaviors, strategies I once used to manage the intense physiological stress in my body resulting from my unresolved neurological wounds.

Growing up, I lived with a highly activated nervous system. Wounded patterns from childhood and adolescence experiences shaped how I saw the world, and myself. I experienced a lot that left lasting imprints. Abandonment, betrayal, feeling invalidated, invisible and intruded upon in ways that ruptured my sense of safety, certainty and trust. Real or perceived, it didn’t matter, my unconscious mind recorded it all in my body.

By the time I was a teen, I felt like I didn’t belong. I didn’t know who I was, I just knew I felt different. People told me I was weird. That I didn’t make sense. That my ideas were pie in the sky! And I believed them.

I remember when I cut off from my body and my inner world froze. I shut down and started stacking layers of protection. Deep inside, I made up a story: that I wasn’t lovable… I didn’t matter… I didn’t belong… I wasn’t accepted. Shame and fear beliefs became the lens I looked through. I felt invisible. Invalidated. Afraid to ask for help. And eventually, I stopped trying. I created a belief that I was unworthy, not enough and I was in this, all alone.

So, I became the master of hiding. Pretending. Performing. I lived behind a mask. One that said, “I’ve got this,” while inside, I was terrified. I didn’t let anyone in. I became an island. But in protecting myself from pain, I also walled off being able to feel love, connection, joy, playfulness… and the deep sense of acceptance and belonging I craved.

My disempowered beliefs rooted themselves into my identity, and for decades, I carried them quietly. They used to create major challenges in my personal relationships. I’d start out open-hearted and vulnerable, and then, BAM the wall would go up. I’d disappear into my protective persona. The one that didn’t feel. The one that couldn’t risk being vulnerable and feeling the pain of sadness, fear and shame all over again.

In my March blog posts, I’ve shared about the ending of my committed love relationship last November. When I received the message that she was ending the relationship, it shocked me to my core. That moment triggered something primal in me, deep abandonment and betrayal wounds, wounds I obviously hadn’t fully healed, yet.

It’s been almost six months and I can honestly say, this has been some of the deepest healing work I have ever done. All the NI tools and strategies I’ve developed over the past 20-plus years, I have used them in real time, on myself.

As I reflect, with mindful intention, on this incredible journey over the last six months, I now realize that in order to heal my heart and cleanse my soul of the unresolved wounds from my childhood and adolescents, my gift was to be challenged by the ending of my past relationship. I was supposed to be triggered, get reactive and crack wide open so I would fully feel the intense unresolved pain which caused me to finally shred my thick protective layers.

This spiritual test became my greatest opportunity to be present, without judgment, and sit with the incredible uncomfortableness of my pain so I could open up, heal my already broken heart, my wounded soul and learn to love myself for the first time since I was very young. In essence, I had to rescue and heal myself and earn, on my own, neurological freedom from the wounding of my past. This is the sacred work of healing…and the journey continues.

I truly believe the universe places guideposts in our path when we’re finally ready to see them. And I know my time on earth is for a reason. I honor that my biggest awakenings are happening now, exactly the way it is supposed to happen, in this later chapter of my life.

If me sharing my story touches even one heart… if it helps just one person to feel less alone… if it inspires just one person to do their work … then it is so worth it.

Healing trauma is like thawing a frozen river. The ice doesn’t melt all at once. But underneath, there’s still movement. Life. Flow. We just need to let the light in long enough for the thaw to begin. So how does your nervous system react to emotional pain? And what protective story have you been telling yourself to survive?

“Triggers aren’t proof that

something is wrong with you,

They’re wounds from the past

that’s ready to be healed with

loving kindness and compassion.”

- Glenn S. Cohen

- #CenterForNI

As a child, I absorbed more energy than I ever consciously realized and my unconscious mind was quietly recording everything, every smirk, every silence, every unpredictable mood, every moment of shame and pain. Those early experiences didn’t just shape my childhood; they became the invisible blueprint for how I’d respond to life as an adult.

Whether I perceived my caregivers as being loving or unsafe, nurturing or neglectful, my nervous system adapted to survive. It built a hidden operating system to help me navigate the world. That autopilot system still lives in me today, quietly running in the background, activating whenever something reminds me of those early memories.

I used to judge myself, thinking something was wrong with me. But now I see those triggers and reactive moments differently. They're not punishments. They’re amazing opportunities. Each experience is a doorway to a deeper aspect of myself which is asking to be seen, felt, and healed.

Healing, I’ve learned, isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about bringing compassion and curiosity to the wounded aspects of myself that got stuck in time. It’s about rewriting my unconscious code.

When a trigger shows up now, I ask myself: What aspect of me is asking to feel safety, certainty and trust right now?

It’s like walking through a familiar house in the dark, you know where the furniture is, but sometimes you still bump into it. The bruise isn’t the problem; it’s the body’s way of saying, “There’s something here to notice.” So, what part of your past might be gently asking to be seen, heard, and held with love and compassion?

“Your nervous system

doesn’t care about the story,

it responds to the signal.

And when the signal hits 10,

a 10 is a 10 and nothing else matters.”

— Glenn S. Cohen

#CenterForNI

I used to think trauma had to be something dramatic, like abuse or disaster to matter. But I’ve learned our nervous system doesn’t judge experiences by storylines. It reacts to activation. That’s where Neurological Intelligence (NI) comes in.

NI is about understanding how our nervous system is formed, how patterns develop, and how we can rewire them. It’s the foundation of what I call the Re-Claiming Journey, the first step toward changing our inner world.

See, the nervous system doesn’t care about the story of whether you were abused, betrayed, neglected, or lost someone you loved, it only tracks intensity. If your nervous system hit a level 10 of activation, then it’s a 10. Period.

Imagine your inner world like a bucket. One big trauma rock might fill it. But often, it's the many small rocks, moments of criticism, exclusion, or fear that pile up and overflow the bucket. Whether it's one huge rock or a bunch of little ones, the effect is the same: your system is full. And that overflow affects how we think, feel, and relate as adults.

Still, many people say, “Nothing bad ever happened to me.” But trauma is subjective. If it activated your system, it mattered.

The good news? You’re not stuck. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we can change our brain’s wiring. We can create new neural pathways and reclaim our wholeness, one insight, one pattern shift, one choice at a time.

NI isn’t just information, it’s transformation. And it starts with honoring all of your rocks, big or small.

Our inner world is like a bucket filled with rocks, some heavy, some small. But when it’s full, it’s full. The weight of our past doesn’t depend on the size of the stone, it depends on how many we carry and whether we’ve learned how to empty them. So, have you ever minimized your experiences because they “weren’t that bad”? What small rocks might be weighing on your system without you realizing it?

“The challenging periods of life

are trying to teach us

to listen and trust ourselves

and rise up to reclaim our freedom

to experience peace, joy and love.”

- Glenn S. Cohen

On March 7, 2025, I posted this quote: “If you want something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.”

When I read those words, they didn’t just speak to me, they vibrated through my entire body. It was like my soul sat up and said, “Listen closely.” Have you ever read something that hit you so deep it felt like truth was echoing inside your chest?

That moment marked a powerful milestone on my healing journey, a journey that feels more spiritual, more soulful, and more real than anything I’ve done before. For the first time in a long time, I truly heard and more importantly, I listened to the whispers of my higher self. It was time to make the changes I had long resisted, the ones I knew deep down were necessary.

To give this some context: I haven’t felt a consistent connection between my mind and body since I was a child. Somewhere early on, I unconsciously and of course metaphorically, severed the ties between my head, heart, and soul. Like many of us, my unconscious mind tried to protect me the only way it knew how, by shutting off the pain. I buried my hurt, silenced my voice, and disconnected from my inner truth.

By age 14, I began building additional protective layers. In Neurological Intelligence Volumes 1 and 2, I describe how we all have multiple personalities, which is a natural aspect of the human experience. Some of these personalities are empowering, serving us with purpose and passion, while others are disempowering, causing us pain and suffering.

Each layer of our protective patterns can have its own personality. Many people I’ve coached over the last 20-plus years developed an “addict” personality layer in adolescents or adulthood, as I did when I was 14. The strategy of our “addict” protective pattern is to do whatever we must to hid, run, numb, and protect ourselves from our unresolved inner pain and neurological discomfort For me, that meant smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and experimenting with drugs - thankfully, I left the drugs behind by the end of my college years.

I have been on a mission to find true inner peace within myself. I wanted to genuinely feel love for myself and others - and have that feeling last. These are all things I never had. Over the decades, I made so many promises to myself that I broke, which only fed superfood to my “addict” pattern. This kept me validating my protective patterns and getting what I did not want, and from not getting, what my heart and soul desired.

But on March 6, 2025, the day before I posted that quote, something shifted. I realized I had to do something I had never really done before. I made a new promise. A real one. I chose to let go of what was, surrender to what is, and finally release the addictive patterns that had protected but also imprisoned me. I made the sacred commitment to honor who I am today.

For the last 20 plus years, I’ve shown up, through pain, shame, uncertainty and finally heartbreak, with patience, perseverance, courage, and a fierce determination to heal and grow. And for that, I’m deeply grateful and appreciative for all that has happened for me to have the honor and privilege of sharing with you lessons I have learned in life and love.

So, in order for me to get something I never had - self-love, I had to do something I’ve never done: truly honor and love myself by keeping the promises I make to myself.

So, what’s one promise you’ve made to yourself that you’re finally ready to keep?

"Healing doesn’t happen all at once—

it unfolds every time we choose

to meet ourselves more honestly than we did yesterday."

Over the last twenty years and even more so recently, I’ve come to realize the true hero’s journey doesn’t start with a plane ticket, a breakthrough moment, or a perfect plan. It begins inside, quietly, often painfully with the decision to listen and take action.

Back in 2003, I started asking myself why I kept making choices that left me stuck in fear, shame, and emotional chaos. I read and listened to everything I could get my hands on. I understood so much logically, but I wasn’t connected to the part of me that actually needed healing, my body, my nervous system, and especially, my unconscious mind.

Despite moments of deep knowing, I stayed in autopilot, making choices that matched my old protective patterns. I recycled suffering like it was a well-worn habit. But life, in its persistent wisdom, kept offering me wake-up calls, sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful slaps. And eventually, I started to listen.

By 2014, after years of personal work, thousands of hours of learning, and coaching clients, I left pharmacy for good. I dove deeper, attending retreats, immersing myself in experiential work, and finally applying what I knew. That’s when the real shift began to happen.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s a spiral, forward, backward, sideways, with messy breakthroughs that make you want to scream and cry and dance, sometimes all at once. I created Neurological Intelligence not from theory alone, but from living and learning through it, again and again.

Let me tell you, I’m still learning. Still healing and still growing. And I hope what you find in the Neurological Intelligence book series helps you soften, with loving kindness into your own process, one that requires compassion, courage, and curiosity.

Healing is like tuning a radio in a storm, you may hear static for a while, but if you keep adjusting, the signal eventually comes through loud and clear. So, what’s one moment when you knew what your next step was but didn’t take it? What held you back, and what might you choose differently now?

If this resonates, feel free to DM me. I’d love to hear from you. You can also visit my website at www.centerforni.com and subscribe to my Substack blog (scroll to the bottom of the homepage to sign up).

“Sometimes, heartbreak isn’t the end.

It’s the invitation to love in the way

we always wished someone would love us.”

- Glenn S. Cohen

As many of you know, I’ve been on a long, soulful journey of healing and awakening. Most recently, that journey took an unexpected turn, one that cracked me wide open. The end of a committed love relationship stirred something profound in me. Oh it hurt, a lot, but it also invited me to love in a way I never had before.

Growing up, especially after the age of 8 or so, I began building walls. Protective walls. I disconnected from my parents and siblings, including my older brother Bruce. I withdrew into isolation, guarding the pain of sadness, fear, and shame that I didn’t yet have the tools to process. Bruce and I weren’t close, not out of malice, but because I kept myself hidden behind years of silence.

Bruce was always the outgoing one, an extrovert with a magnetic personality. I used to joke that he was the unofficial mayor of Charleston. Me? I was the invisible one. Soft-spoken. Highly sensitive. I often nodded through conversations, pretending I could hear, thanks to numerous ear surgeries in childhood.

Fast forward to now: Bruce was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis about 18 months ago. It’s a terrible degenerative disease, and his only real shot at life was a lung transplant. After months of uncertainty and suffering, he received that miracle on February 26, 2025. He was released from the hospital 32 days later, on March 30th.

And I was there almost every day. Not out of obligation. Not out of guilt. But because something in me had changed.

I brought him breakfast. TCBY. Vanilla milkshakes. I sat with him for hours, not to check a box, but to show up in love. I consciously chose to love him like I never had before. I stepped out of my old protective patterns of judgment, avoidance, rigidity and leaned into a new way of being, one rooted in presence, compassion, and spiritual love.

Each day before I left, I kissed him on the forehead and told him I loved him. For the first time in our lives, I said those words. And he said them back. He thanked me from his heart. That moment filled my heart with love and gratitude in the most beautiful way.

And I keep wondering: if the heartbreak of 11/11/24 hadn’t happened, would I have had the capacity to love Bruce like that? Would I have shown up in that room with a heart wide open?

I don’t know. But I do know that life has a way of orchestrating the exact circumstances we need to heal our wounds and grow ourselves back up

As I often say in my Neurological IntelligenceÒ book series, events happen for a reason. But that reason usually only becomes clear in the rearview mirror. It’s the Hero’s Journey. We’re all invited to it. The question is, will we answer the call? Will we choose to wake up, grow up, show up, and be inspired to give the kind of love we always wanted and needed?

I’m so deeply proud of my brother Bruce Cohen for fighting like hell with grace, humor, and humility. He endured multiple procedures and exhausting recovery walks with the soul of a warrior. He’s not done yet, but come summer, I know he’ll be rolling again like the Bruce of old.

Healing my relationship with my brother felt like learning how to play a song I’d always heard in the background, but this time, I finally knew the chords. So, has there ever been a moment when life cracked your heart open and gave you the chance to love more deeply than ever before?

"Real love doesn’t rescue us from our wounds—

it reveals them so we can finally heal together.”

- Glenn S. Cohen

I’ve experienced this in my own life and in my practice: couples who once shared blissful adventures and deep emotional connection now sit on opposite ends of the couch, arms folded, eyes tired from crying, withdrawing and fighting. They look at each other not with longing—but with blame, defensiveness, fear, and confusion.

And they ask: “How did we get here?”

They were once madly in love. They felt seen, understood, desired. But somewhere along the way, that magical WE space turned into a war zone—fractured by unspoken expectations, unresolved wounds, and protective patterns of communication that only deepen the wounds they were meant to heal.

Ironically, the one we love most often becomes the mirror that reflects the parts of ourselves we’d rather not see. When we're triggered, our protective personalities take over. Communication turns from connection to conflict. Most couples don’t have a communication problem—they have a “when I’m triggered” problem.

What breaks my heart is how many couples repeat the same painful loops: conflict without resolution, blame without curiosity, silence that feels louder than words. And beneath it all is a cry for safety, healing, and love.

When they reach out to me, they usually have three options:

1. Stay and accept the status quo.

2. Leave and make peace with that decision.

3. Do their “I work,” nurture “U,” and use the “WE” as a sacred space to stretch, heal, and grow.

That third path is the hardest—but also the most rewarding. It’s not about fixing each other; it’s about facing our wounds and learning how to meet them with compassion.

We can’t love fully if we don’t understand how our nervous system works. That’s why I’m passionate about teaching couples the tools of Neurological IntelligenceÒ—to interrupt disempowered patterns, reclaim their power, and finally create a partnership that’s conscious, connected, and real.

A relationship is like a garden built on ancient soil—its beauty grows when both partners are willing to tend to the roots they never planted. So, have you ever wondered if your relationship challenges are actually your soul’s invitation to heal?
