Sweat induced by anxiety
My man! Appreciate all the work you've done to help me and anyone that's listening My question relates to sweating and anxiety For context: Generally speaking I believe I have a fast metabolism (those people that eat a lot without seeming to gain weight) As a byproduct of that I run hot.. I tend to not wear layers cause I will eventually get too warm and sweat I have a fairly good cold and heat tolerance - being able to stay a decent amount of time in a cold plunge and in the sauna as well Now when it comes to "anxiety" triggering events such as public speaking, even when the room is cold - when this "anxiety" comes up during this presentation I start sweating... (I put "anxiety" in quotations cause my understanding is anxiety and excitement have the same physiological response and I try to reframe anxiety as excitement instead and it seems to help) Another example would be, presenting on teams in front of the whole team and something doesn't go right = sweating What causes that trigger to sweat? Can I do something to reduce that frequency or stop it all together? Thank you, Emmanuel
Adverse effects of meditation
What are possible negative outcomes of meditation and how are they primarily caused? Is there a wider range of people beyond those who may have medical conditions that should avoid meditation? People who suffer from childhood trauma, for instance? Or people with a convex continuum that you referred to in your first meditation episode? For those who have had damaging effects from meditation, were they simply meditating or were other factors involved, like fasting or drug-use? Does type or length or frequency of meditation make a difference? Meditation can be a wonderful practice, but would be valuable to learn about the possible downsides which sound potentially devastating from what I've read/listened to (from Cheetahhouse.org and Tim Ferris).
Direction with my non -verbally autistic son
Good afternoon, Mr. Andrew. My name is Rebecca. I am a PA-C currently working in Plastic Surgery. I have a 16 year-old nonverbally autistic son. He was diagnosed at the age of 2yrs and have undergone the traditional Aba Therapy has not really been successful. Cognitively he understands everything but is unable to make words. I was wondering if there was something I was missing. In terms of testing if there’s an impairment with his vocal cords, as opposed to a, global diagnosis of autism. He does not fit the normal criteria, but I am at a loss as to what kind of testing. He has never been subjected to an intense study of his brain or his vocal cords in the past. I must admit we were given the diagnosis shortly after I was excepted into PA school and we never really questioned it. Thinking about bringing him to Stanford for a thorough neurological testing and wanted some direction as to where to go and how to approach it please. Respectfully yours, Rebecca
