Hi and welcome to the In The Cortex podcast.

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,280
We are your hosts.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm Paloma Garcia.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,640
And I am Dani Perrecone.

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,240
And we're the founders of In The Cortex, an online community with programs that show

6
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:21,480
people the tools that they need to change their lives through brain reorganization, no

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,880
medication, just movement.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,080
When you get your brain out of survival mode and regulate your nervous system, you start

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,160
to live in the fun, logical part of the brain, the cortex.

00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:36,520
Subscribe today and learn how to live your best In the Cortex life.

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,520
And now, on to today's episode.

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,840
Let's start out with a quick cortex moment from one of our members.

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,200
Prior to the ITC program, I was a real people pleaser.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,280
No wasn't a word I used frequently, nor was my voice for that matter.

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,880
I never had any self-worth, thus there was never any worth added to the person I was.

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,440
As cliche as it may sound, but if you don't find yourself, your voice, your being worthy,

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,360
nobody else is going to find you worthy as well.

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,160
I never had a lot of boundaries when it came to people.

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,760
Thus it was always easy to walk all over the person that I was.

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,700
Engaining as much as I did since joining the ICT program and being dedicated to my brain

21
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:26,700
work.

22
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,000
Change after change occurred.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,200
I started to develop self-worth and along with it self-love, respect and so much more

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,200
followed.

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,680
Today, I respect, love and appreciate the woman I am.

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,320
Thus proper, rational boundaries are set for those around me.

27
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,840
It feels incredible when you add worth to who you are as a person.

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,120
There is a sense of feeling whole and adding worth to who we are gives us a natural ability

29
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:14,760
to protect ourselves and stand up for what we believe in.

30
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,840
In today's episode, we are going to talk about what is brain reorganization.

31
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240
How often do we get this question?

32
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,280
I don't know if this happens to you, but I always follow it with a deep breath.

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,280
Brace yourselves.

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Are you ready to break it down?

35
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,600
What is it?

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Absolutely.

37
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,840
We get this question all the time.

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,920
I'm sure everybody gets this question is, what do you do for work?

39
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,000
What do you do?

40
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,200
I absolutely do take the deep breath because I know that I'm going to get one or two reactions.

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Either people are going to be like, cool, interesting, tell me more.

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,400
What's your Instagram?

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,920
Or they're just going to be like, what?

44
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:55,240
And so that's where we're going to start to break down in this very first episode is,

45
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,120
what is brain reorganization?

46
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,120
What do we do?

47
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
I go into my little spiel, my elevator pitch.

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,920
Let's just imagine it's a really long elevator ride.

49
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,920
We're going on a lot of steps, a lot of different floors.

50
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,200
It's not like a three-floor situation.

51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Just keep that in mind.

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,320
I say what I do is brain reorganization.

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Brain reorganization is the concept of giving your brain the neurological foundation it

54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,400
needs so that your cortex, your higher functioning brain is free to focus on what you want to

55
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,200
do in your day-to-day life and being your best self.

56
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,560
And how do we do that?

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Well, when babies are in the uterus through the first and sometimes second year of life,

58
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,160
we're all designed to do certain movements.

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,480
And all those movements are developing the primitive part of our brain.

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,040
And so the primitive part is really important because it is in charge of all of our automatic

61
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,160
functions, all the things that we're all doing while we're listening to this podcast.

62
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,120
And we're not having to think about everything from regulating our heartbeat to making sure

63
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,800
our eyes are blinking and sitting upright.

64
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,760
That's all done by the primitive brain.

65
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,960
Those are automatic functions.

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,400
And so when we're moving, all those cute little movements that babies do are developing this

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,400
part of the brain.

68
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,800
So it gets to a point when the baby stands up and walks that all of that stuff is already

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,800
kind of taken care of and it's all automatic.

70
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,880
The cortex doesn't have to think about how we're breathing or how we're blinking.

71
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,520
And after on, we're set up for the later stages of development through childhood, adolescence,

72
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,520
adulthood.

73
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,920
However, a lot of us don't move enough when we're babies.

74
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,400
And so what happens is if you didn't move enough when you were a baby, you probably didn't

75
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,480
get enough of this movement to develop your primitive brain.

76
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,760
So what does that mean?

77
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Your primitive brain probably is underdeveloped.

78
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,240
And that's what we call a disorganized brain, which is a brain that is primitive brain is

79
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,640
underdeveloped and it's stuck in that survival mode, fight or flight.

80
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Because the primitive brain's number one job, in addition to all of these automatic functions,

81
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,520
is keeping us alive.

82
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,560
That's why that's a part of the brain that's in charge of all of these automatic functions

83
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,520
and making sure that they're automatic.

84
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,800
It's keeping us alive.

85
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,640
So when our brain, our primitive brain is underdeveloped, it's going to get stuck in

86
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,640
survival mode.

87
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,920
So we are left reacting to the world rather than responding to it.

88
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,840
And that's when people say, whoa, that's interesting.

89
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,040
What do I do about it?

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880
And that's where I say, well, that's where you do our program.

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800
The cool thing about the brain is that it's plastic.

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Neuroplasticity tells us that the brain can rewire the way that it is connected at any

93
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,480
point in our lives, at any age.

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,360
By discovering this, by noticing that you have some disorganization in your brain and

95
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,760
deciding to do something about it, you can go and recreate those movements that you might

96
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,320
have missed as a baby to fill in those neurological developmental gaps in your brain and give

97
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120
your brain the foundation that it needs to truly live in the cortex.

98
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,000
That's why we're called in the cortex.

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,480
The cortex is where we have higher thinking, we have logical thought, all of our higher

100
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,880
thinking, and that's really where we want to spend the most time to be our most authentic

101
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,680
selves without our primitive brain kind of getting in the way.

102
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Oh, I love that.

103
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,600
And I often get followed up with the question of like, so the people who are getting this,

104
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,240
they're following, they're nodding their heads like, yes, yes, yes, I understand you're

105
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,040
talking about, they're like, oh my gosh, my baby or I didn't crawl as a baby.

106
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Is this what you're talking about?

107
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,360
So yes, that's one of the movements.

108
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,520
But to break this down, so now that we have the amazing backstory of what happens in the

109
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,200
primitive brain, we talk about four different pillars that in the cortex.

110
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,840
And those are the four things that are in the program that we break down and help you

111
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:42,680
make sense of and teach you how to correct it in the sense of like, and we never say

112
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,680
that there's anything wrong.

113
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,400
We never say that you missed anything.

114
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,320
We never want to shame or guilt anyone.

115
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,400
So if you're listening to this and you're like, oh my gosh, my parents put me in a container

116
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
and I never crawled.

117
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,480
We never want you to go back to your parents and say, I can't believe you did this to me,

118
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,480
you ruined my whole life.

119
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,080
I don't know why I have whatever.

120
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,240
And so the first part, the four pillars of in the cortex, we break them down to two lower

121
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,200
centers of the brain, the ponds and the midbrain.

122
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,200
The ponds is supposed to be on an active from zero to five months of life.

123
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,880
That is the position babies assume on their bellies and they're supposed to be moving

124
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,800
from point A to point B. Oftentimes, if you go to your doctor, they call it tummy time,

125
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,400
but we call it creeping.

126
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,120
And that is a foundational movement that puts those automatic functions in place.

127
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,120
So like Paloma said, a threat comes to you when you're walking at this point, because

128
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,040
you did enough of that movement as a baby.

129
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,400
If a threat comes at you, your brain now knows, is this a true threat?

130
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Is there a tiger staring at me?

131
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Do I need to run for my life?

132
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Or did my boss just tell me there's a deadline for work and my brain goes into panic mode.

133
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,440
And so if your brain's going into panic mode, when your boss tells you there's a deadline

134
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,960
that you need to meet at a certain time, that's a sign that that part of the brain didn't

135
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,240
get enough of this movement called creeping.

136
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,920
And it's not saying that we don't want your adrenaline to kick in and have you get that

137
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,280
oomph to get the work done.

138
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,440
We're just saying, do you panic?

139
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Do you go to fight mode where you start arguing about the deadline?

140
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Or do you flight and just come up with excuses and just peace out and maybe you get sick

141
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,080
and you're like, now I can't meet the deadline.

142
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,400
So there's different things that we will be breaking down for you, but that's that first

143
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,760
part of the brain.

144
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,800
The second part of the brain we talk about is the mid brain.

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,720
And this is ideally working from six to 12 months of life.

146
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,280
And we say ideally, and that goes for both the pawns and the mid brain because it's

147
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,040
very general on the time frames.

148
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,240
And we never want you to think, oh my gosh, I have to hit it at six months.

149
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,960
My baby's not crawling by six months.

150
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,960
There's a problem.

151
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,760
No, it's a very general time.

152
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,880
So from six to 12 months, that part of the brain is on, it's active.

153
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,440
And the way it's developing is through crawling.

154
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,360
That is on your hands and your knees.

155
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,160
And that is when babies become mobile.

156
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,960
They're moving throughout the house.

157
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,240
We think it's so cute.

158
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,840
They're also getting into a lot of trouble in that stage of pulling things out and you're

159
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880
basically trying to keep them alive, right?

160
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,720
But that's a really important phase of how that movement pattern is so critical for putting

161
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,320
all these automatic functions in place that we're going to talk about later as well.

162
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,600
So that's those two first parts of the brain.

163
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,160
The third pillar in the cortex are the primitive reflexes.

164
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,680
These are automatic instinctual movements designed to keep you alive.

165
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:36,960
Now there's this amazing choreograph that's going on of the primitive reflexes, the pawns,

166
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,040
the mid brain, all of this happening in utero for the first two years of life.

167
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,480
When reflex is turning on and doing its job for a specific time, maybe it's turning the

168
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:53,240
baby's head so it can get air at a certain place and when it's laying on its belly.

169
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,040
And then it has to do it enough until that job is now complete.

170
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,720
It can lie dormant, but at the same time, those lower centers of the brain are also doing

171
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,720
their job.

172
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,800
So there's a lot of nuance going on within this time period.

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,040
And there's general guidelines of when these primitive reflexes need to be on and then

174
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,920
need to be inhibited and then turn off and kind of lie in a dormant sense.

175
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,440
So like the example I mentioned earlier, if a tiger is approaching you and you're in

176
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,040
the wild for whatever reason, I'm talking about tigers today, it could be like a bus

177
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,040
on the street or something.

178
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,040
It could be a bus.

179
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,040
It could be.

180
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,000
It could be literally anything other than a tiger, but a true survival situation, right?

181
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,600
You want those survival parts of the brain to turn on and get you to react.

182
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,080
You don't want to sit there and start analyzing, huh, that looks like I'm going to die, you

183
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,480
know, and start breaking down what could possibly happen.

184
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,400
We want that adrenaline to kick in.

185
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,280
We want the cortisol to kick in.

186
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,840
It's a true survival situation.

187
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Survive, fight, flight, freeze, fawn.

188
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,560
But we don't want it turning on throughout the rest of your life.

189
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:03,280
So that's why it's so important that babies are moving because they're integrating all

190
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,760
these reflexes.

191
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,960
They're doing their jobs.

192
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,520
They're setting themselves up for later in life.

193
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,920
So that way the brain can really tell the difference between real threats and perceived

194
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,920
threats.

195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,840
A perceived threat is when you see somebody having road rage, just for example.

196
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,320
That is a situation where they have created a whole story in their mind that the world's

197
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,320
against them.

198
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,680
They must fight and race you, cut you off, tailgate you, teach you a lesson on how to

199
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,360
drive better, right?

200
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,480
And you're like, whoa, we're all going to different locations.

201
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,000
We all have our own stories.

202
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,560
There's no reason to have that extra rage within us.

203
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,080
We're going to break down more examples of the ponds, the midbrain, and the primitive

204
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,080
reflexes.

205
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,000
Those are very much rooted in movement, and that's the very beginning part of our program.

206
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,760
The fourth pillar of in the cortex are the subconscious beliefs.

207
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,360
And this is where we really tap into the filters on how you see the world.

208
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,600
And this is all designed in our first seven years of life of just absorbing the information

209
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,880
from around us.

210
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,160
That's from our caretakers.

211
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,640
That's from our school.

212
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Whatever environment you're in, you're just absorbing that as the way you see how life

213
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,840
works.

214
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,680
And we will give examples of this also throughout our podcast, but that is a big piece because

215
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,320
those are shaped through traumas, whether they're small or big traumas.

216
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,520
Those are shaped with just everyday experiences on how we're perceiving the world because

217
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,880
we don't have our fully developed brains in place yet.

218
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,120
So we just think that this is how you respond to situations without all the tools and having

219
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,040
access to information.

220
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,800
So we're going to break down what that means, how there's an impact there, and how that

221
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:47,200
emotional part of your brain really can turn on all that survival that we just talked about.

222
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,480
And we're going to help you make sense of that.

223
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,280
So that's the deep breath that we always take because it's so much information.

224
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,840
But once you understand all of this, we then share with you, hey, this can work at any

225
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,840
age.

226
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,840
Absolutely.

227
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,520
And this works at any age because think about this, if the brain is disorganized, then that

228
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
means that the cortex, like we talked about earlier where we have logic and a lot of our

229
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,080
higher functions, language, that's usually having to compensate for all of the primitive

230
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,280
brain's jobs.

231
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,880
So all those jobs that should be automatic are not automatic.

232
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520
So your brain's actively having to think, even though you don't notice, actively having

233
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,960
to think, how do I sit up straight?

234
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,240
How do I make eye contact with this person?

235
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,600
How do I breathe?

236
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,600
How do I blink?

237
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Right?

238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,800
And this is stuff that is taking over the available space that the cortex has.

239
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,280
And so the cortex is left with less and less bandwidth to do the things, the higher functions

240
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,080
that it's meant to do.

241
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,680
So if we have somebody that has this disorganized brain as a child and it's not addressed, this

242
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:55,080
is going to become a teenager and then an adult with a disorganized brain.

243
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,840
These are challenges that might be masked through different compensations.

244
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,480
We might find something that works for us for a little while, makes us feel better,

245
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,280
makes our life a little bit better, or we might be going into that flight mode where

246
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,520
we're actually just avoiding it completely.

247
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Anything that's hard for us, we're going to avoid it and we're going to find different

248
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,440
patterns of escape to not have to face it as an adult.

249
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960
But the challenges can present differently, right?

250
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,720
It can be something like having anxiety or having stage fright all the way to having

251
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,160
challenges with motor coordination, dyslexia, or even being a huge procrastinator, that

252
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,160
was me.

253
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,000
It doesn't matter how old you are though, the brain is plastic throughout our entire

254
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,600
lives.

255
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,720
And the brain is going to respond to the input that it gets in the same way.

256
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,240
So when you're recreating those movements, the primitive brain is coming online and developing

257
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,880
and understanding the same things that it understood when you were a baby and you were

258
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,360
moving, and it's going to organize its foundation so that your cortex is finally free to focus

259
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,200
on the higher functions.

260
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,720
And this is why we always say living in the cortex is where your best life happens because

261
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,760
you're able to choose how you show up in the world and truly be your authentic self.

262
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,840
And that truly is why we're doing this podcast.

263
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,480
We want to talk about all of the different components of not just what we do, but other

264
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,360
amazing modalities that are out there and other ways of helping people understand there's

265
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,480
nothing wrong with you if you have some of these challenges and there's so much that

266
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,720
we all can do.

267
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,720
We all have the tools.

268
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,160
You have the tools inside of you in the cortex is just showing you what they are and how

269
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,160
to use them.

270
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,120
And so we're all about inspiring people and sharing the hope that the brain can change

271
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,520
and life can get so much easier.
