As children, we were on the receiving end of many messages from our family members (particularly our parents / primary care giver), teachers and friends. In trying to make sense of the world and our place in it, we compiled these messages into our very own personal survival guide. These messages were then laid down as neural pathways in the brain.

As adults, some of these messages and instructions for survival are no longer valid, and often sabotage our attempts to be happy, healthy and successful. Thankfully, it's possible to 're-wire' the brain and lay down new, healthy pathways.
