Helping our patients to change their “autopilot” to improve their health

I often see folks whose “feeling mind/autopilot” is repeating and recreating an unhealthy pattern and outcome in their lives. This is despite their own willingness to change.

They have a lot of physical, emotional, and social health issues.

We can try to change their actions and behaviours in the short term, but for real sustainable change, they will have to fine-tune some of the values, beliefs and rules in their “autopilot” don’t they?

Our “feeling mind/autopilot” is steering our lives much more than we think.
