Summary

In this conversation, I'm joined by a colleague and friend Dr. Dave Jenkins as we dive deep into the concept of regression, particularly in the context of emotional states and relationships.

We discuss how regression manifests as a brain state, the contagious nature of it in interpersonal dynamics, and the metaphor of the Mariana Trench to illustrate the depths of emotional regression.

Our conversation also goes through strategies for recognizing and managing regression, the impact of intimacy on emotional states, and the importance of self-soothing and increasing one's buoyancy to navigate life's challenges effectively.

0:00.0	Welcome to Sexi Marriage Radio and you realize that we've talked in a couple
0:09.4	like a couple episodes back where we talked about making time for each other
0:12.2	episode 697, that it was all
0:17.0	based around the premise of there's a lot that goes on, our anxieties, and emotions can get the best of us and how do we try to help keep
0:26.2	the important from being outweighed by the immediate. I came across a statement the other a week or so ago I wrote it down to be able to just kind of give as a
0:39.3	a reminder. This is a good reminder for me and for us and a lot of what we try to do but also for the nation hopefully that if you feel like a lot of life is out of control
0:48.7	Because of schedule conflict tension family whatever, what have you.
0:53.4	Yes.
0:54.4	A consistent bedtime routine and time that you go to bed, give or take an hour, can change a lot of things for you.
1:04.8	Like if you set a goal of I'm going to consistently be in bed
1:07.9	by 10 o'clock each night.
1:10.3	And you do that consistently, give or take an hour, it really does change a lot of how you interact with everything else going on because you have that one point of discipline and consistency that you can count on.
1:26.0	And ideally it's early enough that you get a decent night sleep because sleep can make the

1:38.0	what they'll say what research is shown consistently the same time to get up in large part give or take an hour it really does help
1:45.6	create a framework to face a lot of the other things that are not consistent in life
1:52.1	so that's interesting it sounds simple that are not consistent in life.
1:53.0	So...
1:54.0	That's interesting.
1:55.0	It sounds simple enough.
1:56.0	It is, but it's also incredibly difficult to do sometimes, isn't it?
1:59.0	Well, yeah, given schedules, right?
