In this episode of the Raw Talks Podcast, Mark and Simba talk about the intersection of artificial intelligence and the nervous system. They explore how AI, often seen as just a technological tool, can also influence emotional regulation, creativity, and overall well-being. This conversation isn’t just about the impact of technology, it’s about how we navigate it with awareness, intention, and balance.
Connection between Nervous System and AI
Mindful use of AI tools can foster creativity and learning but warn of the risks of dependency on technology, which can disconnect us from our authentic selves, leaving us feeling more anxious and ungrounded.Their discussion emphasizes the importance of staying present, regulating your nervous system, and cultivating self-awareness amidst the increasing influence of technology. They introduce the concept of neuroception, a body-based truth detector that helps us discern what feels authentic versus artificial or biased.
How AI Impacts Creativity, Stress, and Emotional Regulation
AI tools like ChatGPT can either enhance our creative processes or create complacency. The key, they explain, lies in the intention to use AI as a support rather than a crutch. There’s also the potential stress caused by AI-generated content that blurs the line between real and artificial, affecting trust and emotional regulation. Simba shares how practices like TRE® (tension and trauma release exercises) can support nervous system balance, helping people stay grounded and connected in a tech-saturated world. By regularly engaging in somatic practices, we can release stress and reconnect with our bodies, which helps maintain authenticity and emotional balance.
