S4 E8 - BIG Feelings and how to Co-Regulate through Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn - Nervous System Understanding

This component of parenting is ESSENTIAL and so hard when no one demonstrated how to do it for us. We need to understand the nervous system and how to coach our kids through their emotional experiences so they can develop brain patterns for regulation and empathy. We also do this with Inner Child Healing work too because we are filling the gaps in what we didn't receive.
