I’ve watched so many videos on nervous system regulation and this is my first time hearing this. Such an important piece of the puzzle. Thank you, Tanner!🙏

Thanks Tanner. This is very interesting; I have found that with the perfectionism trait I can practice somatic tracking excessively. This video is a good reminder of other good skills and practices that are good for recovery but also for quality of life in general.

I always find that good excitement reacts the same in my body as fear does. The same goes for anticipation. I feel just terrible afterwards, shaky. And then my symptoms get worse. It’s a tricky one.

Thanks Tanner. I get the point about passion. My issue has been that "passion projects" can sometimes (unnoticed) creep into things like procrastination/perfectionism, or stress...or I suppose the they go hand in hand. Its a delicate one for me but for sure I have noticed how they can make me feel engaged and mobilized but also safe and confident. Practicing "Passion" seems a bit of an artform for me.

Bearing in mind what you said about joy I immediately switched on some top pop and r n b/hip hop bangers...

Thank you. This was really worthwhile to listen to. I now realise that throughout my long marriage I never felt emotionally safe. Your advice is absolutely fundamental to my recovery. Footnote - any chance we can see your puppy?

Thank you Tanner. I will work on spending time in these states.

Thank you 😊

This video is lovely! I have plenty of playfulness, love, passion, purpose and wondrous creativity - but I still have pain! (Of course I still have a ton of inescapable stress right now that I hope soon will end and with it, as most of the pain and exhaustion left before for six glorious years.) Dance parties are the best! That's how I got named The Dancing Diva of Davie Street as wherever there was wonderful music, I'd be dancing - usually with happy toddlers but often adults would join me. SO much fun! I never feel the pain when I'm dancing or writing or performing - just have to watch overdoing it. Getting in my body with somatic tracking is a wonderful way to feel any tension and release it, and to learn to befriend your pain. Thanks, Tyler, another great video!

Could you make a video on the differences between the pain experience and treatment for neurotypical people and those on the autisitc spectrum? There is not much information on that topic out there especially from practioners. I would really appreciate your insight!

This is helpful. With practice, I'll be able to tolerate large family gatherings again.

Do you have any activities you can recommend that ease access into each of these different states?

Do you treat clients in NC, USA?

Sorry but I don't understand where the links are. Thanks

Tanner, you are spot on about hitting the sweet spot between striving for perfectionism and being passionately engaged. I know this from personal experience but wasn't mindful of the difference up until now. Thanks. Btw, I am yet to be convinced by the role of Somatic Tracking in the management of neuroplastic pain -- the very concept of dwelling on the pain, 'embracing' it, describing it with a Zen-like detachment (texture, colour, form) strikes me as laughable and counterproductive.
