In this episode, we’re introduced to the idea of playing with thoughts the way you might play with Legos—stacking, twisting, reshaping, not to build something permanent, but to feel your way into understanding.

It starts on the floor. Stretching. Thinking.
Thoughts of childhood. Thoughts of trauma.
Thoughts about how being raised in what now feels like a Mormon cult still echoes through the nervous system today—like ant trails in the brain, rerouted and reinforced by years of psychological patterning and fear-based storytelling.

Then… those raw thoughts get analyzed.

We look at how trauma shapes our cognitive patterns.
How propaganda moves through mirror neurons and limbic resonance.
How personal stories of grief and inherited pain ripple outward through time—like a tidal wave of life stretching back to the Big Bang, and forward into Neuralink and speculative futures.

And then… the analysis itself gets analyzed.

Through the lens of a soul-centered, trauma-informed therapist, we explore what it means to simply wonder out loud.
To not judge thoughts as “sane” or “crazy,” but to honor the courage it takes to turn your inner life into a sandbox—and let others in.

Every idea—whether poetic, philosophical, or wildly speculative—is re-scored with a 10.
Not because it’s right.
But because you showed up and let the thoughts speak.
And maybe, that’s where the healing starts.

Feeling something stir?

If you’ve ever found yourself tangled in your own thoughts, trying to make sense of your past, your identity, your place in this strange unfolding now—I’d love to talk.

🧠 I’m Glenn Ostlund, licensed therapist in Arizona.
