What do you think: Can the all too often vilified emotion we know as anger be medicine? In my personal and professional experience, it is one hundred percent medicine when we know what anger’s purpose actually is, what our biological capacity for it is, and then how to [...]
I was on a podcast show this week, and the host asked me what parents should do when they realize they have done “all the wrong things” with their infants and children. When I write “all the wrong things” I don’t mean obvious abuses of the physical, sexual, [...]
Did you catch my May special topic lecture? The topic was Nervous System Starter Steps. It was filled with a lot of classic nervous system basics, answers to commonly asked questions, plus some complex stuff too. Because I know some of you might be brand new to my [...]

I wanted to share a snippet that is embedded within a Q&A I did earlier this year titled, Five Common Healing Trauma Myths. Breathwork, shaking, meditation and more! The video clip that I have for you here, happened closer to the end of the Q&A, and it speaks [...]
When someone feels anxious and upset and they are not able to self-soothe without external means (like spending time with friends, or taking a bath, or a drug, or a cup of tea, etc...), it can mean they do not have enough nervous system health on board to [...]
