Have you ever been blindsided by someone’s reaction and thought, where did that come from? Whether it’s a toddler refusing to put on their shoes, a teen with an unexpected attitude, or even a coworker’s sharp remark, our interactions are shaped by something deeper than we realize—our nervous system state.
In this episode of Building Resilience, we explore how our nervous system acts as a filter, shaping the way we see and respond to the world. When we start understanding this, everything shifts.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
✅ Why we react the way we do—and why our kids, partners, and coworkers do too
✅ How past experiences shape our nervous system responses
✅ Why some people keep repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
✅ How to identify nervous system states (Team Hyper, Hypo, or Resilient)
✅ Practical strategies to respond with intention rather than react
✅ How regulating your own nervous system can shift the entire dynamic of a relationship
If you’ve ever wondered why certain people trigger you or why some relationships feel harder than others, this episode will help you see interactions through a new lens—one that leads to greater understanding, connection, and resilience.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
