The mindbodygreen Podcast · 643: Healing inner-child wounds you didn’t know you had | Nicole LePera, Ph.D. (The Holistic Psychologist) · 29 Mar 2026 podcast

I think change is possible quite literally at any age.

I think people, and I would see this in my practice, which is what inspired, you know, so many years ago now me to work more holistically as I now do.

I don't necessarily think it's the insight or the awareness.

So many of us can tell the story of why we're so dysfunctional and the habits that we want to change.

It's the action.

because awareness our nervous system doesn't learn by insight alone as we've been talking about quite literally our nervous system learns by eliciting a new response by engaging with the moment more presently and therefore differently so i think that's the place where i would see this in my clients and i would feel very disempowered and stuck alongside of them why is it seemingly that we have so much awareness right we can tell our story into the into the ground but

we can't change those patterns.

And again, because they're wired in, because our nervous system, no matter how dysfunctional the patterns are, will feel a sense of familiarity because they're predictable.

We know what happens next.

So no amount of logic can shift that.

It is truly learning how to cope with the discomfort of doing something new and then doing that consistently enough so that we've quite literally created a new pattern for ourself.

I think so many of us, myself included, not only has society changed to a much more comfortable or to offer the large majority of us a much more comfortable existence, we get really savvy and good.

And that's what we're wired.

So in a moment of stress or discomfort, our nervous system will immediately respond

try to exit us from that stress and discomfort as quickly as possible.

Right.

We'll distract ourselves.

We'll we'll we'll avoid.

Right.

Well, the discomfort will be happening, but we'll be paying attention to something else.
