Hosts Jennifer and Elisabeth jump right into this season's theme of attachment by discussing the neurobiology of relationships, covering our development from the womb to forming attachments throughout our life.

Using the work of Louis Cozolino in his book, The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the Developing Social Brain, this episode explores the concepts of the social synapse and our brains as social organs. You'll learn how the brain and nervous system evolved to help us communicate, the impact of dysregulation on relationships, and how attachment styles develop and affect social connection.

By the end of this episode, expect to also have a better understanding of how the brain and nervous system work together, the physiological signals that shape our reality and health, why attachment is a survival need, and MORE.

Tune in to discover the power you have to train your nervous system and change your relationship patterns!
