Let's face it... family life gets pretty tangled up and knotted sometimes. Inside our grown-up adult bodies and the still-growing bodies of children is a great big nervous system that regulates our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors all day long. Having an understanding of how we all regulate ourselves gives us a broader perspective of what’s really going on when we’re dysregulated. This awareness gives us access to a set of tools for getting and staying steady. In this episode, Carrie explains how families are simply a bunch of nervous systems bumping up against each other, creating knots, and getting tangled up. However, when we become aware of what’s happening under the surface, and become skillful at keeping ourselves and our kids resourced, we start to navigate more peacefully and consciously through the turbulence and into calmer waters.
