In this instructional segment, the speaker guides listeners through a practical exercise for handling disrespectful, dismissive, or condescending behavior. Participants are asked to identify a specific behavior that upsets them, label it, and write it down. Next to the label, they write the phrase "does not threaten me," establishing a mental reframing that signals to the body that rude comments, raised voices, or insults are not threats. This mindset aims to diminish the physiological threat response, helping individuals stay calm and less reactive when faced with disrespect in daily life.

Chapters

I want you to think of behavior that somebody does that really upsets you, and we're going to put a label on it. Disrespect, dismissive, condescending, whatever it is, make it yours. You got it? Write it down. And right next to it, I want you to write, does not threaten me. Rude comments, backtalk, insults do not threaten me. This is the mindset I want you to have when this kind of stuff comes up in your life. Why? Because it is telling your body, hey, when somebody raises their voice, that doesn't threaten me.
