What if time isn’t a river flowing in one direction, but rather, a two-way street?  In this episode of Unpacking Possibility, psychologist Traci Stein delves into the intriguing concept of retrocausality, the possibility that our future actions and thoughts can influence our past. Traci discusses the traditional view of time and challenges it with the idea that future events and future decisions may affect us even before they occur. The episode also explores how precognitive dreams or other knowings may be generated retrocausally by future events.

Traci provides examples of what retrocausality is and how it might work via highlighting experiments by noted psychologist Dr. Daryl Bem and information outlined in anthropologist Eric Wargo’s book, “Time Loops.” 

Traci also offers an exercise for listeners to try out sending positive emotions and support back to their past selves in the service of feeling, doing, and living better overall.
