Your subconscious mind might be secretly sabotaging your happiness, and you don't even realize it. The brain's hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain often keeps us trapped in unhealthy patterns rather than pursuing true fulfillment. Anastasia Gerali, creator of alignment therapy, breaks down this fascinating psychological principle with startling clarity. "Sometimes the pleasure we're seeking is merely avoiding the discomfort of change," she explains. Think about the relationship you stayed in despite knowing it wasn't right, or the career change you've been putting off for years. That's your subconscious choosing familiar pain over unknown possibilities. Procrastination and perfectionism emerge as the subtle saboteurs of our potential. These patterns reveal our programming - the unconscious biases and preferences that drive our behavior. Anastasia Gerali's alignment therapy addresses this through a two-pronged approach: hypnotherapy to upgrade mental and emotional patterns, and neurodynamic breathwork to realign the physical and energetic bodies. The results speak for themselves, from women transforming their professional lives to those finally experiencing fulfilling relationships after years of dysfunction. What makes this conversation truly transformative is the nuanced understanding of pleasure and pain as interconnected experiences rather than opposites. As Anastasia Gerali poignantly illustrates through the contrasting careers of Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand, the same physiological sensations can be interpreted as either exhilarating or terrifying based solely on our relationship to them. Ready to reprogram your mind for true fulfillment? This episode offers both the understanding and practical guidance to begin that journey.
