What is one thing you’ve learned about yourself over the years that has dramatically improved your relationships?

Most people do not have the sovereignty to self-soothe an activated nervous system under a vast range of life circumstances, and, our work as adults is to move in this direction.

If we’ve only been seeped in dysfunction, we will instinctively normalize that behavior, not understanding that healthy people relate in a completely different way.

You may feel like the odd-(wo)man out when you take inventory of the dysfunction of your family of origin, but did you know how rare it actually is to be raised by emotionally mature adults? So rare it deserves to be a statistic.
