Your Brain Isn’t Broken — It’s Wired for Survival
It’s called the negativity bias — a survival instinct hardwired into every brain. But what once kept us safe can now lead to anxiety, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion.
In this video, I break down:
• What the negativity bias is
• How it impacts our thoughts and relationships
• What you can do to balance it using tools like:
• The H.E.A.L. method (Rick Hanson)
• Self-compassion practices
• Thought reframing
• and more
Learn how to gently retrain your brain for greater peace, presence, and perspective.
Find strategies for how to overcome the negativity bias on my website: https://laurafishtherapy.com/resource... from there, you will find two articles The Negativity Trap parts 1 and 2.
