Good evening, everybody. How y'all doing? Welcome to the show. I've got a great show plan for you. We're going to start the show by talking about

da-da-da ways to regulate our nervous system. I know. It sounds a little dry, but it's not. And it's something we all need to learn. Why? Because thing I work with every single patient or couple that comes into my practice exclusively or at

some point in the time that we're working together, we talk about nervous system regulations.

So we're going to get into that.

And then don't worry, though, it's going to get a little spicy in the second hour.

We're going to talk about how to spice things up for those of you that are vanilla, because

you might just be a little

vanilla erratically but that doesn't mean that there aren't ways that you can still kind of push

on that creativity without having to become a full-blown kingster nothing wrong with that though

and if that's the path for you godspeed but uh some of us are like no we're vanilla and we're

going to stay within that lane but there are ways to still sprinkle some toppings on that vanilla ice cream to jazz it up a bit because uh for those of us are like, no, we're vanilla.

that are in, I don't know why I keep saying us, I'm going to make it about y'all. For those of y'all

that are in monogamous relationships, your limits are your partner's limits. So it's really important to be able to add some newness, novelty, and diversity to that system. So that's what we're going to be talking about tonight.

Now, why does this matter?

Well, because our nervous system is what tends to throw us off and what tends to be needing

some attention and care so that we can calm and soothe ourselves.

It's a really important part of our biology and our psychology.

Now, here's the thing. A lot of our issues within emotionality, mental health psychology,

can be traced back to early trauma, some negative belief systems, and all sorts of things

that are about unprocessed emotions and stress, stress, and trauma. And the place where we feel it the most, all sorts of things that are about unprocessed emotions and stress stress and trauma

and the place where we feel it the most all of those things that have occurred is in our bodies

but it is specifically within our nervous systems and so that's where we want to really focus
