Episode Highlights With Brittany

  • Why this work is so important, especially for moms
  • How babies co-regulate with moms for several years and how our children borrow our nervous systems for several years until theirs' develop
  • How dysregulated nervous systems affect parenting and the parent child bond
  • Children are wired to come to their caregivers for regulation, so when the caregiver is a source of fear or dysregulation this can create attachment issues and other issues
  • Perfection is not required- in fact an in-depth study found that mothers being attuned even just 30% of the time led to secure attachment in the child. So we don’t even have to get it right the majority of the time!
  • Navigating rupture and repair well can actually lead to more resilience and secure attachment
  • Somatic practices that moms can do on the go when we feel overwhelmed 
  • Practical tools that moms can use to benefit our nervous systems and our families
  • How movement is so helpful for the nervous system
  • What resourcing is and how doing this for just a couple minutes a day can be really helpful
  • How attunement is so important and can be helpful even if we're personally not regulated
  • Ways to help our kids develop healthy nervous system regulation and attachment.
  • Her advice for those struggling with mom guilt.
