Season 2 | Episode 68 | "Core Tension" Between Emotional Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation with Steven Perez & Michael Piciucco

Welcome to Episode 68 of the RT Dialogue! This episode came about after a text exchange between us and Michael Piciucco regarding a "core tension" that he has noticed in the conversation around emotional self-regulation and co-regulation -- specifically how these play out in Restoration Therapy and EFT. So we asked him to come on and discuss this. Michael also invited on our good friend Steven Perez as a conversation partner on this topic. I won't say more about the conversation at this point as we really dive into the weeds -- so please tune and check it out.Mentioned in the EpisodeRestoration TherapyEFT and Sue JohnsonHold Me TightThe Prophet (On Marriage) by Kahlil Gibran The Mindful Marriage by Ron and Nan Deal & Terry and Sharon Hargrave On Marriage by Kahlil GibranThen Almitra spoke again and said, Andwhat of Marriage, master?     And he answered saying:     You were born together, and together youshall be forevermore.     You shall be together when the whitewings of death scatter your days.     Ay, you shall be together even in thesilent memory of God.     But let there be spaces in your togetherness,     And let the winds of the heavens dancebetween you.      Love one another, but make not a bondof love:     Let it rather be a moving sea betweenthe shores of your souls.     Fill each other’s cup but drink not fromone cup.     Give one another of your bread but eatnot from the same loaf.     Sing and dance together and be joyous,but let each one of you be alone,     Even as the strings of a lute are alonethough they quiver with the same music.      Give your hearts, but not into eachother’s keeping.     For only the hand of Life can containyour hearts.     And stand together yet not too neartogether:     For the pillars of the temple stand apart,     And the oak tree and the cypress grownot in each other’s shadow.
