there isn't a mental health disease.

It's more of just a pattern or something that we should be mindful of, but it's not an actual disease.

Do you feel like there – I mean, is there such a thing as a chemical imbalance in some people?

You know, when they say, oh, I have a depression, it's a disease, or bipolar, or I have this mental health disease, or I have a chemical imbalance, I was treated with this, don't try to say I don't because this is who I am.

Is that – do some people have that, or is that –

You're experiencing something.

Oh man, this is powerful, gosh.

I wanna go back to what you said when you were experiencing this traumatic event in the family you had recently, where you were wearing a glucose monitor and you mentioned that there was a process, you realized like the monitor went through the roof,

Heart palpitations, stress, you could feel your body changing into this stress response, this protection, tightness, whatever it was.

Fear, anxiety, all these things you were experiencing in the moment.

What was the process that you broke down to bring it back to more normal levels for yourself of feeling more peace, groundedness, calm?

Would that be considered like fight or flight, whether it's someone cutting you off in front of you on the street in the car or someone yelling at you or someone, whatever, an event happening which is causing you to react in fight or flight, whether it's a massive T trauma or little T trauma, right?

Sure.

Okay, so- So step one is to get the co-pilot state of mind to land the plane.

So this is gathering kind of your- Awareness.

This is how I'm feeling.

This is what's happened.

This is the event, right?

So what are those four things?

How are you responding?
