What if the identity you have been trying to fix is not who you truly are?
In this episode, Dawn Grant explores how the brain can build a self-schema from painful experiences, setbacks, failure, fear, humiliation, and emotional stress — and how that identity can quietly begin shaping perception, behavior, performance, relationships, and everyday life.
Dawn explains why someone may spend years reading books, attending therapy, practicing mindfulness, journaling, meditating, and trying to improve, yet still feel trapped inside the same emotional patterns. The problem may not be a lack of effort. It may be that every attempt at change is being made from inside the very identity that needs to be retrained.
This episode explores the difference between managing symptoms and working at the subconscious level where identity patterns live. Dawn also shares how hypnosis can help quiet the analytical filter and create access to the deeper layer where old self-beliefs were formed.
This episode is an invitation to ask:
What story has been living my life?
What identity did my hardest moments create?
And who am I underneath that story?
