Like this is always reads as an emergency.

And I'm like, I was driving for 20 minutes.

I thought I would see how you're doing.

You talk in the book about like a stress reset versus a mental buffer.

So can you walk us through what the difference between those two is and when we would apply one versus the other?

Well, one thing that is just is just funny is you and I are both so clearly in Los Angeles in that, like several of our things have been like a parking related stress or you're driving stress.

So the car related stress is running on the street.

Yeah.

But then you also have I'm sure you get this all the time, but you have like such a naturally like calming voice and demeanor.

I see why you are like a clinician who can help people deal with stress.

Do you think that you always had that or think you've gotten more like that because of your clinical practice?

Not as a critique at all.

Yeah.

What are the main sources of stress for you?

Even just in the way that you framed it.

Right.

You were like, I have this really serious job where often it is like a life or death thing.

And I think anyone would argue like that is so stressful.

Of course, it makes sense that you're stressed.

And then you said, like, I also like have my kid and he's wonderful.
