So instead you do interval training.

If somebody's calling out to you every 30 seconds a different set of movements and you can't predict what they are, then your brain will make a prediction.

It'll be wrong.

You'll have to adjust.

And so you end up burning more calories and you end up throwing yourself out of balance, which we call allostasis.

So you become dysregulated and then your brain has to work to get itself back in again.

And so that's a different kind of workout.

These two different kinds of workouts are completely predicated on the fact that sometimes you want to be able to predict better.

Sometimes you want to be able to disrupt yourself and get back into the pocket quickly, right?

So basically you're learning how to take in prediction error, signals you didn't predict, and adjust to them.

I would say as a general principle, yes.

There are a lot of, you know, the devil is in the details, right?

But yeah, sure.

So trauma is not something that happens in the world to you.

Everything you experience is a combination of the remembered past and the sensory present.

You're in an earthquake.

Someone dies who's close to you.

Something bad happens to you.

Someone hurts you in some way.
