In this episode:

Co-regulation and co-dysregulation in our relationships (not just parent-child)
How our childhood and history affect us (and what we can do about it)
You’re not “stuck” in your attachment, how developing and growing happens (our brains and nervous systems are plastic)
Connecting back to our heart and our feelings
Our nervous system is a result of our childhood and can change over the lifespan
De-pathologizing our reactions and bringing presence into the tough moments.
