[10:42] Resistance to change is linked to neuroplasticity, and Celina likens some neuro-pathways to concrete highways. [13:25] There are no shortcuts! [14:44] The default mode network, the central executive network, and the salience network, and how the interaction between the three largely dictates relational dynamics.
