    Thank you for the 1/3/2026 episode. As a survivor of severe ancestral trauma, the term Hyperactive Amygdala was finally the term I was lacking to describe my lifelong challenge. Neural Dysregulation has haunted me my whole life. Grateful for your work and knowledge you have gathered.

    I am excited to get to work with you. ....ML
