0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wackeb, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:30.0	PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders and substance use disorders. A trauma expert Dr. Day was on
0:35.9	a mission to help his patients gain more control over their stress response in the moments that
0:40.4	they needed it. He focused on leveraging the idea that our sense of touch can signal safety
0:46.1	to our brains and that this feeling catalyzes a cascade of restorative effects like lower respiratory
0:51.6	rate, lower heart rate, better digestion and sleep and improve mental function. Which leads me

2:12.8	And sometimes even the same people who wind up achieving greatness or what we look at as greatness
2:19.2	in human society also have other times where they were not able to overcome or had challenge,
2:24.9	you know, regret challenge challenges overcoming a stressful experience. And so that always interested
