Why this conversation matters for the work Dr. Tara does
Dr. Alexander's case is one of the most rigorously documented arguments that consciousness is not produced by the brain — it is received by it. That reframing is the same ground Dr. Tara stands on in her hypnotherapy and subconscious-reprogramming work: the subconscious is not "in" the tissue, and that is precisely why it can be reached, rewritten, and healed. If this conversation moves something in you, the natural next step is a free consult with Dr. Tara.
