The most important thing I like to say at the beginning of any interview is like, "This is not like hippy dippy, yay, let's feel our feelings and your physical pain goes away." And even though that's wonderful and nothing against that, this is straight up brain science. And so that's like the most important thing that I can get people to understand, which is when we repress our emotions enough, it sends a signal to our nervous system that we're in danger.

The reason we're in danger is because the nervous system perceives your repressed emotional world as a predator to your life.
