Relational Skills in Real Life
E166 The VLE: Making Sense of Our Experiences
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever wondered how your brain makes sense of your feelings and the world around you? Meet your Verbal Logical Explainer, aka: VLE.
In this episode, we unpack how this internal mechanism dictates your perception of life and relationships—and what happens when it gets hijacked by past pain. Learn how to spot the lies your VLE tells you when you're hurting, break free from negative mental patterns, and start walking down the path of awareness toward what God has for you.
