Decoded | Unlock The Secrets of Human Behavior, Emotion and Motivation

We’re living in a validation economy—where attention is measurable, approval is public, and absence feels loud. In that system, power stops being informational and starts being personal. That’s where fixation begins.This episode continues last week’s conversation on power + projection, and takes it one layer deeper: how people accidentally turn leaders, mentors, communities, and “access” into idols—and why it almost always ends the same way: admiration → entitlement → rupture → villain.We break down the neuroscience behind why social platforms (and modern business culture) amplify childhood wounds through intermittent reinforcement, and how that reward schedule trains your nervous system to scan, chase, and attach. Then we unpack the psychological mechanics that drive the spiral:Salience assignment (one person becomes “outsized” in your mind)Relief coupling (their attention lowers your tension; their absence spikes it)Meaning inflation (neutral signals become threatening)You’ll also learn what I call idolatry without consent—when your expectations were never agreed to, but your nervous system acts like a contract exists anyway. That’s when disappointment hardens into moral certainty, and the idol becomes the abuser overnight.I’m also giving you:5 signs you’re slipping into fixationELI questions to expose the blind spot before it costs you relationships, identity, or credibility (click HERE to download the PDF)5 ways leaders can buffer damage early (roles, expectations, boundaries, and direct correction)If you’re chasing proximity, visibility, or approval to feel safe—this episode will confront you. If you’ve been on the receiving end of someone else’s fixation—this episode will protect you.Because eventually, idolatry requires a villain. So stop building pedestals you’ll later want to burn down.Want to find out your Brain Pattern Type? Go to www.predictivemind.ioWant to learn more about Rapid Emotional Repatternig with Break Method?

Power doesn’t “ruin” people. It reveals their childhood wounds.In this episode of Decoded, Bizzie Gold breaks down power projection—what happens when authority, hierarchy, or feedback gets interpreted through unresolved identity wounds… and personal responsibility becomes unbearable.You’ll learn why some people can zoom out, self-correct, and stay grounded in objective reality—while others collapse into splitting, victim narratives, and “toxic boss / narcissist / cult” labels the moment evaluation shows up.This episode covers:Metacognition (thinking about your thinking) and why it’s the #1 trait of high performersWhy “toxic environments” are often distorted relationships to power, not just abuse of powerThe Brain Pattern Spectrum: abandonment-oriented vs rejection-oriented attention stylesSituational awareness vs reputation management (and how that changes everything in workplaces and relationships)Co-regulation vs self-regulation and why co-regulation fuels projection in authority dynamicsThe psychology of splitting: when complexity becomes intolerable and everything turns “all good / all bad”How resentment + comparison erodes work quality, then gets reframed as exploitationWhy leaders get labeled “narcissistic” for enforcing standards, deadlines, and boundariesHow these patterns scale from relationships → organizations → institutions → politicsIf this episode creates friction: good. Friction is useful—if you can metabolize it into radical ownership instead of projection.Want to find your position on the Brain Pattern Spectrum? Get mapped at predictivemind.io.
