What if the behaviors you struggle to control are being driven by subconscious programming you don't even know is there?

Coach Frank Rich sits down with hypnotherapist Nelson Whiting of No Limits Hypnotherapy to explore one of the biggest questions surrounding behavior change:

Why do we continue doing things we consciously know we don't want to do?

Nelson opens the conversation with a provocative claim: while the conscious mind can make decisions, much of our behavior eventually becomes automatic. He explains his framework for the conscious mind, subconscious processes, belief systems, imagination, memory, emotion, and how those pieces can combine to produce behavior.

Frank and Nelson then apply this directly to pornography.

Why can one man notice an attractive woman and simply continue with his day, while another immediately experiences an intense internal reaction?

Nelson argues that the difference isn't necessarily the external stimulus.

It's the programming and beliefs through which that stimulus is being interpreted.

He breaks the process down as:

STIMULUS → BELIEF SYSTEM → IMAGINATION → MEMORY → EMOTION → BEHAVIOR
