In this practical episode, Tara unpacks the concept of co-regulation and how our nervous systems interact with others in different situations, from casual to significant relationships. She explains how our nervous systems are constantly reading and responding to cues from others, and how this can lead to either co-regulation or co-activation. Co-regulation refers to when our nervous systems are brought into a state of connection with another person, while co-activation occurs when our nervous system is triggered into a protective state. 

The exchange of energy between two people can happen in any situation, whether it's a casual interaction with a cashier or a deeper relationship with a spouse. Our nervous systems are always scanning for safety and belonging, and this affects how we interact with others.  

Learning to understand and respond to these nervous system states can be a big part of finding lasting calm and enduring emotional health.
