When your body feels like it’s working against you—chronic fatigue drags you down, mysterious symptoms come and go without warning, and autoimmune issues disrupt your daily life—it’s exhausting, frustrating, and confusing.

If that sounds familiar, this is the episode for you.

He delivers the missing piece you’ve been searching for—the deeper reason your symptoms persist—and takes you straight to the root cause: unresolved childhood trauma patterns still running in the brain. You’ll learn how to finally break free from the cycle of illness and start living with energy and clarity again.

Grief and Loss isn’t just about death. It’s about the plans that fell apart, the paths we didn’t take, and the lives we imagined but never got to live. It’s the identity you had to release, the quiet ache of unexpected change, and the invisible weight of losses no one prepared you for.

The loss of innocence. The pain of divorce. The fading of youth. The dream that never came true. The job you thought would be yours. These are the unspoken griefs that shape us, often silently.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, your host Robert Gene—a neuroplastician, drug rehab consultant, behavioural engineer, and creator of eutaptics®/FasterEFT—shares powerful insights into how the brain captures grief and loss, why some people stay stuck in it for years, and how eutaptics®/FasterEFT offers a direct path to real, lasting change.

Perfectionism isn’t the high standard you think it is—it’s a bar that keeps moving, and no one ever reaches it.

Rewriting social media posts a dozen times, tweaking every word—only to freeze before hitting publish. Rereading text messages multiple times, trying to make them sound “just right.” Delaying launching your program, podcast, or book—not from laziness, but because it’s “not perfect yet.”

Perfectionism is a survival program wired into the brain, driven by fears of rejection, judgment, or losing connection and love.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, co-host Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene—behavioral engineer, drug rehab consultant, and creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™—explore how perfectionism is a moving target that constantly changes the rules so it’s never enough.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

What perfectionism really is—and why it’s not just about “high standards”

How fear of mistakes, judgment, rejection, and loss drives perfectionism deep in the subconscious.

Why perfectionism is a moving target—an impossible bar that keeps shifting so you never feel “enough”

What perfectionism looks like in your daily habits, thoughts, and self-talk—often without you even realizing it. The difference between being a high achiever and being trapped in perfectionism’s grip.

How perfectionism is linked to early memories and subconscious programming

Why traditional approaches often fail to shift perfectionism—and why eutaptics® FasterEFT™ is uniquely effective at reprogramming these deep patterns

What freedom from perfectionism feels like, and how your life can change once you release the need to be perfect

If you’re ready to stop chasing an impossible ideal and reclaim your creativity, confidence, and peace of mind, this episode is a must-listen.

Share this episode with anyone who struggles with perfectionism—it could be the breakthrough they need.

If you're holding on to anger, hurt, or betrayal — and part of you doesn’t want to let it go — this episode is for you.

Maybe they lied. Maybe they left. Maybe they hurt you in a way that feels impossible to forgive. And while the world keeps saying “just let it go” or “forgive and forget,” that kind of advice can feel like an insult when the pain is real.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, co-host Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene break down the misconceptions surrounding forgiveness and reveal what it actually is—according to how the limbic system works. Rather than surface-level advice or emotional bypassing, Robert teaches what he calls Ultimate Forgiveness: a brain-based process that has nothing to do with the other person, and everything to do with how your mind captured and stored the experience.

This conversation brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in healing and offers a real, practical path to release what’s been holding you back.

If you’re noticing symptoms like low libido, headaches, autoimmune flare-ups, reproductive problems, vaginal pain, erectile dysfunction, skin issues, chronic fatigue, or pain that moves or has no clear cause—this episode is for you.

If you shut down during intimacy, dissociate during sex, feel numb in your body, emotionally disconnected from your partner, or stuck in painful relationship patterns, what you may be experiencing is your brain expressing past sexual imprints—recordings it made during earlier experiences, many of which you may not even consciously remember.

Whether it was direct sexual abuse, unwanted touch, inappropriate interactions with siblings or peers, exposure to porn at a young age, or even subtle conditioning like being shamed for your body or punished for showing curiosity—the brain captures those moments.

Once the brain records an experience, it doesn’t always store it as a conscious memory—it expresses it through behaviors, physical symptoms, and emotional reactions. That’s why many people feel confused by chronic pain, shutdown responses, or compulsions they can’t explain—because the brain is still responding to past events, even when they’re not consciously remembered.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene, explore how your earliest experiences with sexuality—including things you didn’t realize “counted”—may be shaping your health, your relationships, and your sense of self. We talk about disgust, shame, guilt, and how those emotions are expressed in the body as pain, withdrawal, or even hatred toward your own body.

Robert Gene is a behavioral engineer, neuroplastician, drug rehab consultant, and the creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™, a powerful modality for releasing the brain’s imprints of stress, trauma, and unwanted patterns.

War doesn’t end when the soldier comes home.

It lives on—expressed in the body and experienced by every person around them.

When soldiers return, their families face a new reality: spouses navigating intense mood swings, emotional shutdowns, flashbacks, and night terrors; children shaped by an environment marked by trauma—sometimes distant, sometimes explosive—and often struggling with their own emotional challenges as a result.

The pain and stress don’t stay with the veteran alone—it ripples through the household, emotionally affecting generations to come.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen joins behavioral engineer and trauma expert Robert Gene—creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™—to uncover the deeper realities of war, trauma, and healing.

Robert has helped hundreds of thousands of veterans and civilians alike transform their lives by changing how the brain responds to past events.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The mechanics of PTSD and how it affects the brain

The coping mechanisms veterans turn to—like addiction—and what’s really happening inside their brain

How trauma shapes not only veterans but also their families and future generations

Powerful stories of veterans and families who found peace after years of suffering

Learn how you or your loved ones can reclaim peace—no matter what you’ve been through.

If you’ve been living with chronic pain—pain doctors can’t explain, pain that doesn’t respond to treatments, pain that keeps you up at night—we have the answer for you today.

Maybe you’ve been told it’s all in your head. You’ve tried everything: medications, therapies, specialists. But the pain is still there, and no one’s been able to tell you why.

In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, Robert Gene and Crystal Derksen break down the powerful connection between childhood trauma and chronic physical pain—and explain how the brain captures information from past experiences, and the body expresses it.

Robert addresses why the phrase “the body remembers” is misleading and unpacks the truth behind the popular book title “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die.” If you’ve ever believed those ideas, you’ll want to hear what he has to say—because the real answer is in how the brain holds information.

We cover key topics such as:

The impact of childhood PTSD on chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and lupus

The truth about phantom pain and sympathy pain

The misnomer of the phrase “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die”—and why it’s actually memories that continue to affect us

The placebo and nocebo effect—and what they teach us about how pain is created

How chronic pain is the brain’s way of protecting you based on past learned experiences

If you're ready to finally understand what your pain is really about—and why nothing else has worked—this conversation will shift everything.

But somehow, you keep ending up in the same painful patterns:

Getting pulled into relationships where you're always proving your worth or fixing someone else.

Struggling with money no matter how hard you work—because your brain stays aligned with old emotional associations to lack or survival

Physical issues that persist or resurface when life gets hard—because your body is following your brain’s stress responses

How stress, pain, and recurring life problems are the brain’s way of staying consistent with past programming
