I so relate to this! It’s hard to “stand in your power” when you can’t breathe properly as it puts the nervous system in sympathetic dominance and having poor posture to compensate for an inability to breathe further puts us in a “beta” position as opposed to alpha. I so see this within my own life as I’ve been fixing my biomechanical issues caused by braces/nutritional deficiencies from being vegan for many years and not getting adequate calcium or zinc to make my jaw grow forward properly to balance my mouth in a way where I could breathe properly. I saw the wonderful CraniumAutist also sharing this sentiment as well since wearing Reviv! Thank you Ken!

I know the feeling. You just feel so weak and sapped of vitality the thought of confronting someone is just not going to happen. I think this is rampant in a lot of millennials and gen Z that have poor structure.

So overall mentally you become a healthier person? How long do you think it takes to get there?

i think it really depends case by case... everyone will have a different starting point and a different velocity of recovery

Expect at least a year for u to really feel considerably different... but it might happen faster

I watched the video interview recently that you did with cranium autist. You talked about how you were having neck and shoulder pain prior to having your teeth shaved flat. Do you think you were already in a state of decline prior to that? Just maybe at a slower rate?

yes for sure... ever since my early 20s... when two things could have triggered it:

1- i got crowns put on my 4 upper incisors after getting my teeth chipped playing hockey. And i believe they changed how my teeth came together a bit.

2- I had wisdoms removed.

But basically i was going to some kind of medical visit/physio/etc almost 2x per week throughout my 20's and 30's up until 2014

Where was your trust with your wife? At the very least, could you rely on your wife not to instigate or give in or encourage what you perceived to be flirting? Anyway, maybe neither here nor there, but it doesn't require confrontation. If you stand in your power, the other guy won't even try anything. Your energy will deter him from doing that.

this is part of what im trying to say...

The collapse that happened to me reduced my own internal value of myself significantly such that i almost felt like it would be normal for my wife to find someone stronger, more capable of taking care of a family.

And to be fair i dont think she was 'instigating' anything. She was just being nice to our neighbors.

re: If you stand in your power, the other guy won't even try anything. Your energy will deter him from doing that.

>> I 100% agree with this and it is why this never happens now. BUt back then in 2014 when id fallen apart.. it was as if i had a sign on my forehead that said "I'm a weak bitch. walk all over me please." Because that is the image i prob gave off.

Hello! I just reread my comment, and wow...I didn't mean for it to sound at all accusatory, so I hope you didn't take it to be that way. I was kind of just going through the questions in an attempt to understand your explanation better and gain clarity. And, what I thought was your point turns out to have been your point :) So sorry if it came across as anything but gathering information.
