The brain at any moment is just doing what all brains do, which is trying to help us.   In this podcast she talks about the polyvagal theory and how your nervous system is designed to help you, even as it can trap you into unwanted states of being.  By understanding the brain and the nature of thought you can learn to relax your attachment to unwanted behaviors.
