Breaking the Silence

Shame, fear, and pornography addiction all create patterns of thought and behavior to meet subconscious needs. But those patterns can get in the way of the life we want.  LaMonte Wilcox is a neuro mental health coach who has studied about our brains and how we can interrupt and change those patterns. Creed and Crishelle talk with him about understanding that process better.
In this episode:

Our brains run on a reward system, and it seeks to meet our needs.
95% of our decisions are made subconsciously, and 70% of those decisions don’t lead to things we truly want.
Thinking thoughts about shame over and over builds a pattern in our brains, similar to the way an addiction looks.
