The Thought Biopsy (S12E52)

What if not every thought you have is true?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Lee Warren takes you into the mental operating room to practice the Thought Biopsy, a self-brain surgery procedure that helps you examine automatic thoughts before you let them dictate your emotions, choices, and behaviors.

With neuroscience, scripture, and a surgeon’s clarity, Dr. Warren guides you through a practical, life-saving mindset shift: you are not your brain, and you don’t have to believe everything you think.

Learn how to take your thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), use metacognition to stop self-malpractice, and begin rewiring your brain—on purpose—for resilience, peace, and hope.

Highlights from this episode:

• The startling number of automatic thoughts you have each day—and why most of them are negative and untrue
• Why trusting every thought is like a surgeon operating without a biopsy
• The gift of metacognition and the “subject-object shift”
• The neuroscience of automatic thoughts, hippocampal growth, and parasympathetic regulation through prayer and meditation
• PLUS- A three-question litmus test for your thoughts
