The body remembers what the mind forgets.

Every emotion leaves a trace - a tightening in the chest, a hollow in the stomach, a quickening of the breath. When we disconnect from the body, we lose the language of healing itself.

In my latest reflection, I explore how trauma, emotion, and memory live within us, and why reconnecting with the body is the key to restoring depth and wholeness.

🚨 The future of childhood is being written, but not by us.

Right now, children are being shaped by systems they can’t see.
Algorithms are becoming their teachers.
AI companions are becoming their friends.
The digital mirror is telling them who they are before they’ve had a chance to decide.

We have a choice:
Do we let this happen by default, or do we design the future on purpose?

The Psychernetic Children’s Charter™ is our stand - a declaration of what every child deserves in the age of AI:
✨ Real human presence
✨ Time unoptimised by algorithms
✨ The right to their own data
✨ The freedom to grow into their authentic self

But this can’t be written by one person.
It must be written by all of us.

Let’s make this a global statement for the Child of Tomorrow - before it’s too late.

We are living through a cognitive revolution. Artificial intelligence is not just changing what we do - it’s changing how we think.

Unmachine Your Mind is a powerful new book by Dr Tom Barber that explores the psychological cost of living in a machine-optimised world. From information overload and fractured attention, to the rise of synthetic selves and emotional simulation, this book asks the question no algorithm can answer for you:

Who are you becoming in the age of AI?

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and decades of therapeutic practice, Dr Barber introduces Psychernetics, a revolutionary system for reclaiming your cognitive freedom. This is not another book about technology. It’s a book about you. About your memory, your identity, your depth, your agency, your soul.

Inside, you’ll discover:
• Why thinking is being outsourced to systems you didn’t choose
• How AI is reshaping childhood, creativity, and consciousness itself
• The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why one is vanishing
• How trauma, emotion, and embodiment hold the key to real intelligence
• Why neurodivergent minds may be the future’s greatest cognitive asset
• And how to build your own Co-Pilot - an internal intelligence system for navigating the world ahead

This book is a mirror. A warning. And a map.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly afraid that the future is racing ahead without your consent, this is your call to pause. To think deeper. And to unmachine your mind before the machines do it for you.
