Your Brain is Google: Stop Asking Disempowering Questions That Reinforce Failure With Coach Terri

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Coach Terri Patterson offers a fresh perspective on how the questions we ask can shape our path to an alcohol-free life. Your brain is a bit like Google, constantly searching for answers to the questions you pose. So, what happens when you ask disempowering questions like, "Why can't I stop drinking?" Your brain, ever the diligent search engine, provides you with a list of reasons reinforcing self-doubt and shame.

Coach Terri explains how shifting to solution-oriented questions—think "How can I stop drinking?"—can activate your brain's reward centre and strengthen positive neural pathways. Drawing on neuroscience principles like Hebb's Law, she shows how repeated positive thinking can physically reshape your brain. This episode is packed with practical tips, such as using curiosity to suspend judgement and practising self-compassion to open the door to growth.

You'll also learn about the power of embedded presuppositions in questions and how they can unconsciously guide your thoughts and actions. Whether you're contemplating a change or already on your alcohol-free journey, Coach Terri's insights might just be the catalyst you need. How will you ask better questions today?
