Shrinks on the Brink

My Brain is a Bad Influence


Listen Later

Ever wonder why you know what to do... but still can't seem to do it?

In this episode, we break down why habits are so hard to change - and it's not because you lack motivation or discipline. We talk about how the brain, nervous system, and past experiences work together to keep patterns in place, even when they no longer serve us.

We unpack:

  • Why willpower alone doesn't work
  • How stress and survival wiring reinforce habits
  • The emotional comfort hidden inside "bad habits."
  • What actually helps habits shift in a way that sticks

If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for falling back into old patterns, this episode is a reminder: you're not broken - your brain is doing exactly what it learned to do.

Come for the insight. Stay for the compassion (and probably a laugh or two).
