18: Coregulation and Building Safe Connections

18: Coregulation and Building Safe Connections Deep down we all long to connect with others in meaningful and authentic ways. Sometimes we think we are doing this, but we become so good at showing people what we want them to see and hiding the less desirable parts of ourselves. Through deeper connections with ourselves and with others, we begin to see healing from our trauma. In Episode 18 of The Optimized Life Podcast, we’re talking about the special place that connections and co-regulation have in our journeys and how it can help you find clarity, courage and confidence in your life. As we unpack co-regulation we cover what it means to build safe connections, noticing the little things around us, listening and learning from one another and continuing to regulate our nervous systems.
