Why Can't I Remember My Childhood? The Science, The Patterns, and What To Do With It - ep 232

After Episode 231 on the beliefs you don't know you have, one question kept coming up in DMs, voice messages, and comments: if those beliefs were installed before I was seven, and I can't remember that time, how am I supposed to find them?

This episode is the answer to that question. And it goes somewhere I didn't expect, because when I started pulling on the thread of childhood memory, I kept running into a narrative in the wellness and spiritual space that I think is causing real harm. We're talking about that too.

What we cover:

• What neuroscience says about why those early years are a blur 
• The specific pattern I've seen practitioners get wrong, and why being handed a story about your past is not the same as doing the work
• Why the beliefs from those years don't surface as memories
• How a thought journal functions as a diagnostic tool, not just a journaling practice
• Why the nervous system has to be on board for belief change to actually stick
