Brandon explores one of the most common traps in therapy and personal growth—the seduction of "why." It feels cathartic to connect the dots between past experiences and present struggles, but he challenges the idea that understanding alone leads to healing. Drawing from clinical insights and real client experiences, Brandon explains how getting stuck in a rediscovery loop can stall true progress. Insight can offer hope, but lasting change comes from small, uncomfortable actions that reset patterns, not just explain them. He shifts the focus from endless searching for answers to building new habits, tolerating discomfort, and committing to change even when it feels boring or uncertain. Whether you're in therapy or just thinking about making changes, Brandon offers a refreshing perspective that moves you from insight to action.
