Hello Rick. I really appreciate the content you and your son, Forrest have on this channel. You remind me very much of a mentor I had many years ago. Tom would say, “Think, ‘What is there to fear in the present moment?” Would you both consider doing a talk on the complex grief of losing a very Beloved Soul Mate animal when one has zero human family or friends for support? Sadly, the therapists, AND the Police Co-Response Mental Health Unit I’ve spoken with several times have Both managed to help me feel worse! They promised to be there for me, then reneged. Now I’m feeling even more abandoned and isolated!
As a vegan I sincerely thank you for expressing your awareness and sorrow about the mice whose lives were sacrificed against their will for the research to be done. Every animal's life is everything to them.
I have no human resources. No family and my few friends have passed on. For decades people have acted like they want to be friends, then they proceed to slam the door in my face before the friendship has even had a chance. Now, It is next to impossible for me to trust humans due to decades of being rejected / abandoned / denigrated every single time.
Thank you for the cortisol switch flipping in Headline No 1, using the example of a dental visit. It was just what I needed to hear as I contemplate a long delayed dental visit. The fee alone releases a bit of cortisol. I will have to feel my toes to get grounded here.
Love this one. Thank you. I'm trying to think about how I can use these techniques when the anxiety and fear seems to be based about nothing but worry about not feeling good, as though it's coming from nowhere.
My BP going to 200/150 with a racing heart rate of 160 during a panic attack is very disabling for me. These go on for hours at a time, sharp chest pain accompanies these. It’s a prison!
@@staleyexploresit’s not overriding fear, anxiety, but instead changing your thoughts, habits that feed those…and when fear, anxiety come up, you can feel it and release it. When we try to “over-ride” it it feeds the “what you resist persists”. Learn to reset your nervous system. Parasympathetic reset is very powerful. When the parasympathetic system is activated your cortisol system (sympathetic nervous system) turns off. Breathing with longer exhales is one simple one you can do anywhere. We often don’t exhale long enough…exhaling triggers parasympathetic activation.
@@staleyexplores you’re welcome! It’s been a long journey of learning for me, and I’m still figuring it out :) I have developed (over years) a routine of bookending my day with calming activities. How we start and end the day is powerful, how to affects our mindset, anxiety,etc. I wake up and do a 5-15 min yoga, and occasionally I write/meditate for 5min/5min. Short, doable and powerful. So much healthier for our nervous system than news, social media, and the like. I do a midday yoga. I try to get outside once a day, no phone (except if I take an occasional picture of nature). I end my day with a 10 minute guided sleep meditation. It has made a huge difference. Shifting to an intentional awareness of how I could assist my nervous system to be more calm, throughout the day, has changed my life. I hope for you peace, light, and comfort 💫

Loved this...and moved that you acknowledged the little beings in the study. I feel sorrow for them, too. Thank you.

Thanks for the lecture Rick, really appreciate you!
Rick, you and Tara Brach are God gifts to me!
Very helpful episode - grounded and realistic. Thank you!
Such a to the point talk - so wise and wonderful guide
I just missed it live session, but at least I get it here

7:18 'shrink behind the bars of our invisible cage' avoidant behavior to a 't!'
Ask me how I know.
17:46 sounds like existential dread.

We acquired that unnecessary fear after the 3rd vac..
Thank you
This is how college lectures should be

Sorry for the mices...
Why gaba instead of glutamate?
In the q and a section dr Hansen discusses this more..
Glutamate is excitatory and GABA is inhibitory. Connect that to anxiety
Ozempic for cortisol?
So we have to learn to control cortisol so that means? Coping mechanisms?
Yes think so but also overriding fear and anxiety too I reckon. Climb on dr. Hansen!

Learn to reset your nervous system. Parasympathetic reset is very powerful.

How lucky we are to have your talks!!! Thanks a trillion.
Needless anxiety is my life…it’s really 😞.
Ok I will try these things.
Love your talks but I believe God has created us in His image and likeness! We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I tend to believe that "God" would not suffer from health anxiety lol
I hope your wife can take in you’re wisdom and expertise 😊
😎🌿👍
Id like to name it as disorder not anxiety...
Meditate about the vaccine
