iTunes Spotify YouTube
Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, a neuroplasticity expert, discusses his journey and the intersection of faith and science. He shares his experience growing up in South Africa and immigrating to the United States, as well as his personal health struggles.
Dr. Lubbe explains the Enneagram as a tool for understanding motivations and behaviors, emphasizing the importance of exploring all aspects of our personality. He also introduces the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to change and adapt. Brooke Waters co-hosts along with Jason as they challenge the idea that we cannot change and highlight the potential for growth and transformation. Dr. Lubbe emphasizes the importance of framing conversations through the lens of a safe and healthy parent or adult. He also explores the idea that change is not about being less broken, but about becoming more whole.
Dr. Lubbe explains that neuroplasticity is the brain’s capacity to change and adapt, just like muscles can change with exercise. He highlights the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and physical health, and the need for a healthy avenue for personal growth. The conversation also touches on the importance of trust and safety in building connections and making positive changes. In this part of the conversation, Dr. Jerome discusses the importance of trust and safety in making choices and building connections. He emphasizes the need for movement and self-control in building trust and highlights the power of choosing to move away from unsafe relationships.
Dr. Lubbe also shares his journey of finding a safe connection with God and its impact on his spiritual health. He explains the Enneagram model and how it can help individuals understand their healthy and immature selves. He encourages listeners to help others feel safe and to seek out connections that increase their sense of safety.
In this final part of the conversation, Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe discusses the Enneagram and its application in understanding ourselves and others. He explains how each Enneagram number has a unique perspective and energy, and how our lowest number represents our inner critic. Dr. Lubbe also shares his personal experience with the Enneagram and how it has helped him understand his strengths and weaknesses. The conversation concludes with a discussion about empathy, compassion, and the importance of presence in supporting others.
