In this episode I hand you the third — a two-minute practice you can do in a parked car: name it, locate it, move it. We cover the UCLA research on why naming an emotion literally calms the brain's alarm center ("name it to tame it"), why swallowed feelings wait for 2 a.m., and a gentle guided tapping round to move the feeling through instead of carrying it. Waves, not floods.

I share the rink moment that caught me, why your nervous system won’t let you be present in a moment it believes needs managing, and the reframe that changes everything: presence isn’t a skill to master, it’s what’s left when you put the scanning down.
