- 3:50doing
- 3:50is
- 3:51it's
- 3:51just
- 3:51lighting
- 3:52up
- 3:52a
- 3:52part
- 3:52of
- 3:52your
- 3:52brain
- 3:53that
- 3:54does
- 3:54more
- 3:54damage
- 3:55rather
- 3:56than
- 3:56actually

- 4:02because
- 4:03the
- 4:03reality
- 4:04is,
- 4:04is
- 4:04your
- 4:04brain
- 4:04is
- 4:04just
- 4:05designed
- 4:05this
- 4:05way.
- 4:06It's
- 4:06designed
- 4:07to
- 4:07look
- 4:07for
- 4:07what's
- 4:08wrong,
- 4:08and
- 4:09it

- 4:14real.
- 4:15So
- 4:15we
- 4:15have
- 4:16to
- 4:16understand
- 4:16that
- 4:17the
- 4:17survival

- 4:19on
- 4:20that.
- 4:20It's
- 4:21working
- 4:21on
- 4:21that
- 4:21in

- 4:30even
- 4:30though
- 4:31technically
- 4:31you
- 4:32are
- 4:32quite
- 4:32safe,
- 4:33but
- 4:33if
- 4:33it
- 4:33sees
- 4:34danger,
- 4:34like
- 4:34there's
- 4:35something

- 4:40to
- 4:40collect
- 4:41that
- 4:41in
- 4:41the

- 4:42And
- 4:42so
- 4:42when
- 4:42we're
- 4:43journaling,
- 4:43when
- 4:43we're
- 4:44reinforcing
- 4:44this

- 4:52more
- 4:52of
- 4:52it,
- 4:53and
- 4:53it's
- 4:53just
- 4:54not
- 4:54effective.
- 4:56What

- 5:06And
- 5:06if
- 5:06your
- 5:06beliefs
- 5:07don't
