Ever feel like your brain is keeping you stuck in the same patterns, making you believe things about yourself that aren’t true? You’re not imagining it. Your brain has been quietly crafting a narrative about your life, shaping your identity, and influencing the way you act. But what if I told you that these stories are often wrong?
