Center for N.I. I'm Glenn S. Cohen, founder of the Center For Neurological Intelligence®. Join the community today! We invite you to embark on a healing journey unlike any other.

I'm here to help you find authenticity in yourself reap the benefits that come along with that. Our Founder, Glenn S. Cohen, invites individuals and couples to embark on a journey through their past, present and future. Gaining Neurological Intelligence® begins with an understanding of how our nervous system is formed and programmed, why it operates on repeating patterns, and how to change disempowered patterns that cause us and others to experience disconnection, pain and suffering. We are all unique and different. We will develop a strategy to release old emotional burdens, transform the narrative of your disempowered stories, self-limiting beliefs and habitual negative patterns in order to achieve your goals, reclaim your personal power and experience inner peace.

The Three Voices Within:
Healing Your Inner Family

"Healing begins when the Soulful Leader
within you learns to embrace both
your wounded self and your protectors with love."

Inside each of us lives a cast of characters, some wounded, some protective, and one soulful leader, all longing to work together for our healing and freedom.

Your inner world is more populated than you think. It’s made up of three key voices, like members of a deeply interconnected tribe:

1. Neurological Knots
These are your younger selves, frozen in impactful moments of the past. They carry unresolved, painful emotions and limiting beliefs formed when you were hurt. Though rooted in yesterday, they appear suddenly today, triggered when something familiar stirs the old wound.

2. Protective Guardians
These are the patterns you created to keep the Knots safe. They show up as perfectionism, humor, control, withdrawal, or people-pleasing. Once, they were lifesaving strategies. But today, they often block the very love, joy, and peace you crave.

3. Soulful Leader
This is your most empowered self, the one rooted in values, calm in choices, and compassionate in relationships. When this leader steps forward, your inner world begins to heal.

Creating harmony among these aspects is about trust. Guardians often believe you’ve abandoned the wounded ones, leaving them to carry the burden alone. But when you consistently show up as your Soulful Leader, with presence, loving kindness, and strength, you reassure your Guardians, comfort your Knots, and build inner safety.

You cannot rewrite the content of your past, but you can transform its context. Healing means changing how you hold it, how you interpret it, and how it shapes the story you live from today.

Your inner world is like a family table. The Wounded sit crying in the corner, the Guardians stand guard at the door, and the Soulful Leader pulls up a chair, inviting everyone to sit down, listen, and finally be heard. So, when your “Guardians” show up, through perfectionism, control, or people-pleasing, what might your wounded self really be asking for underneath?

“When reactivity outweighs reality,
you’re no longer fighting about the present,
you’re reliving the past.”

One of the hardest parts of conflict is knowing whether our reaction actually matches the reality of the situation, or whether it’s being fueled by old wounds. This is where many couples get lost. They mistake a trigger for truth.

In the heat of an argument, emotions blur perspective. Our nervous system floods with signals that scream “danger!” Yet if we pause and check in with our body, creating even a small gap between trigger and response, something powerful becomes possible. We can ask: Does the intensity of my reactivity actually reflect the reality of this moment?

I teach couples to use what I call the “actuality scales.” Imagine rating an event on a scale of 1 to 10. Some things truly warrant strong reactions, a betrayal or a devastating loss. But most triggers, when reevaluated later, land much lower. If a situation is realistically a “2,” but your reaction is a “9,” that gap reveals disconnection. You’re no longer reacting to the present; you’re reacting to the past.

Joan and Tom learned this firsthand. After a blow-up at Joan’s holiday party, they later revisited the conflict using Neurological Intelligence tools. By asking themselves, “What would I have to believe in order to feel the way I felt?” and applying the TFQ filter, was that belief true, false, or questionable?, they uncovered deeper wounds fueling their fight. With compassion, they began to replace reactivity with understanding.

This practice isn’t about minimizing pain. It’s about perspective. Most of the time, our conflicts don’t deserve the catastrophic weight we place on them. By slowing down and aligning our reactivity with reality, we can disarm our defenses and rebuild what matters most: safety, certainty, trust, and connection.

It’s like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly. The force of your reaction doesn’t match the size of the moment, and in the process, you damage what you were trying to protect. So, think of a recent argument: on a scale of 1 to 10, how big was the situation really, and how big was your reaction?

Learning to Read the Code of Your Own Mind

"Your history wrote the code,
but your awareness holds the pen."

Your mind isn’t a mystery, it’s a masterpiece. The more you understand its design, the more you can direct your destiny.

Most of us step into adulthood unaware that we’ve been carrying the most powerful technology on Earth: our inner supercomputer. From birth, it’s been running nonstop, shaping how we think, love, protect ourselves, and handle challenges. But here’s the twist, most of the programming was installed long before we had a choice.

Every sight, sound, touch, and tone of voice became data, carving neural pathways, mental highways that thoughts and feelings travel repeatedly. Some experiences left behind “corrupted files,” pockets of unprocessed meaning. Small, hidden, often ignored, they quietly cause glitches, fueling reactions, emotions, and relationship struggles without our awareness.

Meaning is the author of your story. What happens to you matters, but the meaning your mind assigns to it matters more. Imagine two kids making the same mistake on stage: one laughs it off and tries again, while the other, raised in criticism, carries shame for years. Same event, different meaning, different life.

Your inner world runs on four cycles: sensory perception (filtering reality), core identity (beliefs built in childhood), association and activation (old wounds triggered in the present), and protective responses (defenses that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck).

The gift of Neurological Intelligence is that these cycles can be seen, understood, and rewritten. Once you learn to read your code, you stop being run by it, and start living as its author.

Your mind is like a symphony. Early experiences composed the opening notes, repeating themes over and over. But with awareness, you can pick up the baton, shift the melody, and write a new movement. So, what “old code” still runs quietly in the background of your life, and how might rewriting it change your story?

“I am not bound by old code.
I have the power to rewrite my patterns
and author a new destiny.”
