0:00.0	Hi, I'm Christina Applegate.
0:02.0	And I'm Jamie Lynn Sigler.
0:04.0	And this is messy.
0:07.0	The following message is brought to you by Novartis.
0:17.0	Since partnering with Novartis, I have been thinking a lot about when I was first
0:22.2	diagnosed with relapsing a mess. To be honest, I was overwhelmed and in denial and I didn't want
0:28.9	to accept it. Eventually, I had to be real with myself, reflect on what was important, reframe
0:34.8	how my diagnosis was impacting my life, and focus on how I was feeling.
0:39.3	And I wish I'd started thinking about my needs sooner. It helped me get to a place of acceptance
0:43.6	and find the right treatment choice for me. And I really hope others don't wait as long as I did.
0:49.2	That's why I partnered with Novartis to create a three-step guide, hoping it can help people speak up and
0:55.8	voice their needs.
0:56.8	Get the guide at reframingMS.com.
1:05.0	Well, hello everybody.
1:08.9	Welcome to messy, Jamie, here. And Christina here. And we have a wonderful guest today. She is a clinician, a consultant, author of many books, international lecturer on polyvagal informed work with trauma survivors. She's also a founding
1:31.0	member of the Polyvagal Institute. Her work in understanding polyvagal theory is applicable
1:37.3	across the board to relationships, mental health, trauma, probably chronic illness.
1:44.5	And her most recent book is The Nervous System Workbook, Practical Exercises to Ease Anxiety,
1:52.4	Find Safety, and Come Home to Yourself Using Polyvagal Theory, which Christina and I know we both need this.
2:04.0	I'm sure everybody that's listening needs this.
2:06.2	So please welcome to Messi, Deb Dana.
2:08.4	It's nice to be here.
