Why You React The Way You Do (And How To Change It)
For Maria Ruberto, the answer lies beneath the behaviour itself.
As a psychologist and founder of Salutegenics Psychology, Maria helps people understand how trauma, adversity and life experiences shape the way we think, feel and respond to the world around us.
In this episode, Maria explains why our brains and nervous systems are wired to protect us, how adversity can influence our reactions long into adulthood, and what becomes possible when we replace self-blame with self-understanding.
It's a thoughtful and practical conversation about behaviour, resilience and learning to better understand ourselves and others.
