The power of the mind/body connection. Hardwired to latch on to the negative and brush over the positive. Power of neuroplasticity. Generational wisdom and the power of storytelling. Post traumatic wisdom and protective buffering factors. Virginia Satir quote: “We prefer the misery of certainty more than the misery of uncertainty.”
