Esoteric LoreELP53- Emotions, Trauma & Recovery: What the New Science RevealsTrauma is not just something we remember—it is something the nervous system learns.In this Esoteric Lore episode, we explore the peer-reviewed science of emotions, trauma, and recovery, drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and clinical research featured in leading journals and institutions.Inspired by the analytical style of Big Think, this episode explains:Why emotions are predictions, not just feelingsHow trauma reshapes memory, identity, and the nervous systemWhat evidence-based therapies actually work (and why)The emerging science of memory reconsolidation and sleepWhy recovery is about updating the body—not erasing the pastThis is not motivational talk.This is not pop...

2026-01-2711 minEsoteric LoreELP51-SOVEREIGN MINDMost human advice is preachy, limiting, and subtly subordinating—placing you in a compliant posture instead of a sovereign one. In this episode, we explore why human agency is superior to human advice, through the lens of modern neuroscience: the brain’s “sense of agency,” autonomy vs control, and why controlling language triggers psychological reactance. You’ll leave with a practical “Agency Filter” you can use immediately to reclaim authorship of your choices.
