Episode 2: We Are Not Broken, We Are Adapted


When something feels difficult about us, we’re taught to ask: What’s wrong with me?

But that question assumes we’re malfunctioning — broken in some way.


In this episode of Root Cause, we explore a different perspective: that many of the behaviors we struggle with today are not failures, but adaptations shaped by real historical and environmental conditions.


Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and history, this episode traces how war, famine, violence, migration, and rigid systems influenced nervous systems, parenting styles, gender roles, and emotional expression — and how those survival patterns were passed down through generations.


Anxiety, emotional shutdown, control, hyper-vigilance, and avoidance are not random traits.

They once served a purpose.


This episode looks at how survival learning works, why the nervous system doesn’t automatically update when danger ends, and why shame blocks repair instead of creating change.


Rather than asking how to fix ourselves, we begin asking better questions — about context, conditions, and choice.


New episodes of Root Cause drop Wednesdays at 7 PM ET.
