In the last couple of weeks, have you ever experienced a thought just popped up, you wouldn't want to tell someone else about it, and it just comes up and you write it into the field, and it's anonymous, and I can then see what the thoughts are. This is some dark stuff that we see coming up.

So we don't have control always over the thoughts and feelings that arise spontaneously, but what we do have control over is, is how we engage with those thoughts and feelings once they are activated. That's the playground of emotion regulation. There is room for both of these interpretations. You tell me before, you don't feel like you can move your arm up and down pretty easily.

It's under your control, but your emotions are not. Well, maybe it's the case that you can't control the feeling of anger or the emotional experience of anger, anxiety that when it's elicited, but once it's activated, I assure you there are things that you could do to push that experience around. And that's the part to really home in on.

And I cannot tell you, I'm speaking, I'll give you a personal example, and then I'll give you one from one of my kids, actually. It is bleeping, liberating, liberating to know that, huh, I just felt a certain way There's nothing wrong with me, right? This is just how human beings work, right? I'm going to experience a dark thought every now and then.

I'm going to experience some anxiety every now and again. I don't feel bad about myself when I find myself getting anxious about something. Instead, I think, oh, this is my mind giving me an inch here. And that allows me to channel that experience productively. So A couple of years ago, my, my daughter switched over to a new school. It was more academically demanding.

And I go into her bedroom and, and I noticed she's like visibly distraught. And I could like, what, what's going on? And so, you know, she's, she's kind of like, I don't know what's happening. Like I feel it in my body. And like, I don't know what this is. And she was, is basically an anxiety reaction. Totally normal. She had a test the next day. This is her.
