The freeze response, tonic immobility in sharks, and what to do about it (unless you're being hunted by an Orca)

After his chat with Jodi on Wednesday, Osher was reminded about his experience with a fascinating way to develop theory of mind: The Three Chairs Technique.      While it sounds like mental musical chairs, it’s actually quite powerful and super accessible.      Have you tried this one? What techniques do you use when you come across adversity?

Three chairs and the truth - a technique to see things from another perspective

Are you someone who is in a relationship with a person that has a different brain? A husband, your wife, one of your siblings, a parent - or even one of your kids. Today Osher's guest is Jodi Rodgers. Through her work on the fabulous TV series “Love on the spectrum”, Jodi turned the spotlight onto the humanity, longing for connection and need for intimacy in all of us by exploring what those things mean for neurodivergent people. This episode is wall-to wall-with tools, techniques, advice - and a heap of validation.
