In this episode of My BrainWise Coach, hosts Cole Bastian and Phil Dixon dive into a proprietary model called the 5P Model, or Personal Threat Profile (PTP). They explore how neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science can help decode and improve our lives. Focusing on the five key dimensions of protection, participation, prediction, purpose, and pleasure, they explain how understanding these aspects of the brain can reduce stress and enhance decision-making. The conversation also highlights the importance of self-awareness and the practical applications of the 5P Model in both personal and professional contexts. Listeners are encouraged to reach out for more information and consider taking the PTP assessment for a deeper understanding of their own brain dynamics.
