... is that a part of that primitive response?
15:01
So that's not necessarily the, for the primitive reflexes, but that's when we're getting into the emotional component for pain, muscle dysfunction, et cetera.
15:10
We all, I think, experience this on some level when we're stressed out, and so many times we put our stress up, you know, in our shoulders.
15:18
We sometimes get headaches or our jaws get tight.
15:21
And, uh, then when you pass that stressful point in your life, you get to the, the, the vacation or you pass the deadline, sometimes you just feel that, ah, you know, that, that muscle tension just melt away.
15:32
And so that can happen for various reasons.
15:33
That can be like an acute stressor, like something like a, like I said, like a job, a deadline, something like that, or something, you know, major like a, like a, a life event, uh, the passing of a loved one, a, a trauma.
