What makes someone believe something so strongly that they’re willing to change their entire life for it? Why do certain ideas feel so powerful—so true—that they become part of who we are? In this discussion, we’ll dive into the psychology of belief: how it's formed, what makes it stick, and how it shapes our identity. From political ideologies to spiritual awakenings to viral internet movements, we’ll explore the patterns and processes behind deep belief systems and how they influence both individuals and groups._x000D_

Hosted by Jessica, a certified mental health counsellor, this conversation will also explore the more intense side of belief systems—where group dynamics, emotional manipulation, and identity reshaping can take hold. We'll examine the process known as “thought reform,” how it works, how to recognize it, and how people can break free. Whether you're fascinated by psychology, social behaviour, or just curious about how belief shapes our world, come join a deep, smart, and open conversation._x000D_
