Why do small moments sometimes feel so big? Why do we get triggered by a simple silence, a delayed text, or a distracted partner?

In this episode of The Spaghetti Wall, Jason Wilcox, LCSW, dives into one of the most powerful (and sneaky) forces shaping our emotional lives: negative core beliefs. These hidden filters distort how we see ourselves, others, and the world—and they quietly drive conflict, insecurity, and disconnection.

Through relatable storytelling, real-life examples, and five practical strategies, you'll learn how to:

• Identify your negative core beliefs and their emotional breadcrumbs
• Recognize when your brain is projecting old pain into new moments
• Stop displacing emotional responsibility in relationships
• Reframe your experiences with compassion and clarity

Whether you're navigating a tough relationship, battling self-doubt, or just trying to live with more awareness, this episode will help you spot the filter—and shift the story.

Because here at The Spaghetti Wall, the mess is the method.
