EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Dr. Paul Conti, How To Fix Your Negative Inner Thoughts - Dr Paul Conti explores rewriting Trauma: How to Disarm Your Negative Inner Voice Dr. Paul Conti explains how the unconscious mind, driven by safety and salience, shapes our perceptions, memories, and inner narratives—especially after trauma. He distinguishes acute, chronic, and vicarious trauma, showing how each can rewire brain chemistry, heighten vigilance, and even alter our remembered past. The conversation explores how guilt and shame act as powerful but often maladaptive survival mechanisms that keep people from seeking help and cement negative self-beliefs. Conti emphasizes that these patterns are scientifically understandable, reversible over time, and best addressed through insight, storytelling, and curiosity about our inner voice.
