Mind Change vs. Therapy, EMDR & Nervous System Regulation
Notes de l’épisode
You’ve talked about the pattern. You understand where it came from. You’ve learned how to regulate, cope, and feel better. So why does it keep coming back?
In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather and Kent McKean explore how Mind Change differs from therapy, EMDR, nervous system regulation, somatic approaches, and brain retraining. They unpack the difference between understanding, processing, regulating, and transforming the subconscious patterns that may be shaping your health, relationships, identity, and life.
The question isn’t which approach is best. It’s what level of change are you actually looking for?
