In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean explores the subconscious patterns and emotional conflicts that may be contributing to symptoms commonly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Together, we examine themes such as self-worth tied to productivity, learned helplessness, fear of asking for help, hyper-responsibility, perfectionism, and feeling trapped by responsibilities. Heather also shares a client story that illustrates how deeply rooted subconscious beliefs can shape our experiences. If you've ever felt like your value depends on what you produce, this episode offers a powerful opportunity for reflection and insight. Remember: awareness is the first step. Transformation happens when the subconscious changes.
