[00:00:00]Now, Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, the most cited neuroscientist in the last couple years, proved this.

[00:00:09]That you your feelings are actually driving your next thought. Because what happens is your brain uses your earliest emotional perceptions, your earliest emotional perceptions, to make predictions of anything you're experiencing in the moment. It pulls from that past to go this means that.

[00:00:31]And that means it doesn't matter how old you are.

[00:00:35]You're not reacting in the present.

[00:00:38]Your brain has categorized your earliest emotional experiences and the bodily sensations you experienced in that moment. And all of them are based on your earliest experiences.

[00:00:52]And from that combination of the emotional event and the physical reaction in your nervous system, it uses that to predict what you should do in this moment at 2:00 a.m.

[00:01:07]when your mind is racing.

[00:01:09]So, at 2:00 a.m.

[00:01:11]you're not present. You're back here.

[00:01:14]CBT doesn't even tell you that.

[00:01:16]Emotional intelligence, DBT, none of them get you to deal with the root.
