A short single-speaker monologue offering practical guidance on self-regulation without substances. The speaker argues that individuals can use physiological ‘levers’ and moment-to-moment bodily data to upshift or downshift arousal, notice what they’re feeling, and welcome the full spectrum of emotions without trying to fix them, enabling more appropriate, productive, or relaxed responses.

Chapters

Most people think that we are victims of our nervous system state. We might get triggered in a certain situation, or we need to use coffee to stimulate or alcohol to relax. What I've learned is that there are these physiological levers that we can use to upshift or downshift our state to be able to be in touch with how you're feeling, what is actually going on in my body? What data am I getting from my physiology that I can then pay attention to and make decisions? How can I welcome the full spectrum of experience, welcome all emotions, be with whatever's happening without trying to fix it or change it to show up in ways which are way more appropriate, way more productive, or way more relaxed without needing substances to change how we feel?
