So you do have to put the time in to practice these things.

Soma control, brain-body-system control, is very much about practice.

It doesn't just happen overnight.

So people might say, well, I've tried breathing, it doesn't work.

But do you try it on a daily basis?

Do you put the effort in for training your whole system?

So I'd give away toys or gifts that people had given to me or jewelry that I really loved to secure a friendship.

And, you know, through the fear that I wasn't enough.

So there's, and I know everyone's had that experience with ADHD and autism.
