The key ingredient for kids is to have regulated adults around them.
And that's really the challenge for us as the grown-ups in kids' lives is how do I anchor in regulation so that I can be regulated and offer that safe, predictable, welcoming energy to my childhood.
welcome to the podcast.
I am really happy to be here and to meet you and to dive into a conversation.
I like that.
My personal why.
Yeah.
It's a thing I've been reflecting on recently because, you know, I'm 69 and I'm at that place where I'm trying to decide what is it that I want to bring out into the world.
And my passion is really for helping people understand how their nervous system operates so that they can begin to become active operators of it.
Because the nervous system is at the heart of every moment in our lives.
And I think...
In the world we're living in right now, a regulated nervous system is a path forward to healing, to individual and community well-being.
And it feels like it's a time to really be offering how I look at this work to others.
So I suppose my personal why began in the clinical world.
I'm a clinician.
and began wanting therapists to be able to help their clients in a different way.
And now it's expanded to, oh, can we help reshape the world perhaps so that it's a safer place for people to live?
And we should give a beautiful round of sending gratitude to Stephen Porges, my dear friend and colleague, who is the developer of polyvagal theory.
And he and I were actually talking earlier today and just really marveling on his creation, which has then allowed us as people, as clinicians, as parents, partners, to understand how we are human in a different way.
which really I think is the gift of polyvagal theory.
