Inside the Default Mode Network | A Different Look at Mental Health with Holly Hawkins
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
Dr. John Sanders sits down with Holly Hawkins to explore a part of the brain most people have never heard of: the Default Mode Network (DMN). Drawing on years of experience in family medicine, he breaks down how this network shapes our sense of identity and the stories we tell ourselves. Whether it's anxiety, depression, or a nagging sense of not being good enough, the roots often trace back to patterns formed long before we were aware of them.
Holly opens up about the conditional beliefs around love she carried from childhood, her experience with ketamine therapy, and the ongoing work of rewiring thought patterns. Together, they make the case that healing the Default Mode Network isn't a one-time fix. It's a lifelong practice of awareness, courage, and compassion toward yourself.
