Ever wondered why your brain insists on being right, even at the cost of your happiness? This episode of Supported Sobriety tackles the quirky yet impactful tendency of our brains to cling to being correct. Hosted by Katie Davis, this engaging discussion dives into how our brains can often be our own worst enemies, particularly when it comes to healing from betrayal or supporting a loved one through addiction.
Katie shares her personal experiences with her husband's struggles and explains how she found peace and confidence despite the challenges. Katie offers practical advice on recognising and challenging these stubborn thoughts that keep us stuck. She highlights the importance of stepping back and questioning whether our brain's assumptions are truly serving us. Through humour and relatable anecdotes, Katie encourages listeners to consider the possibility of being wrong as a pathway to growth and healing.
Listeners will find themselves nodding along as Katie describes common scenarios where our brains get in the way, like predicting negative outcomes or assuming we know the best path for someone else's recovery. The episode is both enlightening and comforting, reminding us that while our brains are wired for survival, we have the power to choose a different narrative. So, are you ready to challenge your brain's obsession with being right?
It might just be the key to unlocking a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
