Know Thyself · E199 - Dr. Caroline Leaf: How to Stop Your Brain From Holding You Back · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

We're always writing a new story.

It is.

And I love that you brought up the shame and the grief and the guilt or whatever that goes through.

If one can look at those as data, so immediately when you feel it consuming, step back into the multiple perspective advantage and see that this is not me.

I don't have to feel bad about this.

This is something, wow, this is interesting.

Be curious.

Why do I feel the shame?

What is the data that it's telling me?

And when you explore down that road, suddenly what was maybe going to block you grows you.

And you get insight, there's going to be tears, there's going to be, but you will grow immediately.

So it's data.

And then you don't merge with it in that way.

You actually learn from it.

So it's a shift and it works.

It's hard.

Because when that shame hits and that guilt hits, we want to go into a sort of toxic stress response.

You want to get into the intelligent version and see this data.

Exactly.

And just what you said is that we can't, I mentioned already, we can't change the past, but we can change the impact of the past on our future, which brings the concept of, I don't know if you've ever heard of the concept of retroactive causation, which is fascinating because if you think it's logical that our past influences our present, we'll get that.
