There was a famous mathematician named Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics. He used to say that ‘We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves.’ That’s what people are and that’s what epigenetics is all about. That’s what I’m trying to do here. Recognize a pattern of behavior, of repeated cycles of trauma and loss, and then rewrite the script by reconciling those memories that are floating around your limbic system.
