Drawing on the Predictive Processing Model, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Le pointed out that before we can see an event as it is happening, the brain has already started predicting what will happen next. These prediction models are shaped by family, school, culture, relationships, and the expectations we absorb as we grow up. Therefore, sometimes we are not reacting to reality itself, but to what the mind has learned to predict from the past. The problem begins when these prediction models are built on fear. When we are constantly alert, silence can easily be interpreted as rejection, criticism can be seen as failure, and a small mistake can turn into a lasting sense of shame. The more we believe in these predictions, the harder it becomes to see reality as it truly unfolds. To change these prediction models, Dr. Phuong introduced three important steps: noticing what we are predicting, regulating our mind, and stepping into new experiences so the brain can learn that the outcome may be different
