What if some of the distress you feel is not coming from the outside world, but from an internal battle happening within you?

In this episode of the Bite-Sized Brilliance Podcast, Dr. April Darley explores the concept of self-attack through a powerful metaphor borrowed from autoimmune disease.

Just as the body can mistakenly turn on itself, the mind, emotions, and survival instincts can begin working against one another, creating anxiety, imbalance, and chronic stress.

April explains the three-part brain system she teaches in the Bespoke Brain framework: the logical or conscious brain, the emotional or subconscious brain, and the survival or unconscious brain.

When these parts are misaligned, inner conflict arises. When they are brought into harmony, the nervous system settles and healing becomes possible.

This episode invites you to look at where your attention, energy, and values are truly going and whether one part of you has been neglected or overridden for too long.
