In this powerful episode, author and expert therapist Christoffel Sneijders shares groundbreaking insights from his book "Relationships? Which Brain Is Talking?" Drawing from decades of experience as a coach and therapist, he reveals how our three distinct brains – head, heart, and gut – influence every decision we make. Through fascinating scientific evidence, Christoffel explores how generational trauma and epigenetics shape our relationships and decision-making patterns from childhood through adulthood. He explains why traditional therapy often falls short and introduces more effective approaches to healing, including the surprising truth about your gut instincts and survival mechanisms. Learn why your gut has 500 million brain cells, how your heart makes decisions independently of your head, and what this means for healing and personal growth. The conversation delves deep into understanding how early life experiences, particularly trauma, get stored not just in our minds but in our bodies, offering practical strategies for overcoming fear and breaking free from past conditioning. Perfect for anyone struggling with relationships, seeking personal growth, or interested in understanding the science behind trauma and healing, this episode offers actionable insights for breaking free from generational patterns and creating lasting positive change.
