QUOTABLES:

“From a brain perspective, trauma is anything that is going to trigger your fight-flight or freeze response, as a result of you feeling like you're being threatened in some way.” - Philippe Douyon

“The connection to our feelings in the brain is so important. But the most powerful part of all is taking charge of your brain. There is the distinction that it is not who we are.  We have to fight back [and] tell our brain what to do. We do have to lead our brain, and how this probably bleeds into everything. Money matters; relationships, connections, that where we are in life — has everything to do with our lack of control of our brain.” - Jessica Hurley

”First, you've got to survive your brain. And then, you got to take charge of your brain. That's when you start to thrive in life.” - Philippe Douyon
