The Self-Reg Show

Have you ever looked back and thought, “I didn’t handle that very well”? And you could have changed a whole situation by being more in-tune with someone else?

But how can this happen? You’re not a bad person, you care for others, so why does our ability to connect break down sometimes?

This is where the Interbrain comes into play. Listen as Dr. Stuart Shanker and Susan Hopkins guide us through this system for how our brains connect to one another. Learn how to unlock the power of relationships and how a breakdown in this system is a signal for us to take care of ourselves. Stay to the end for important lessons for maintaining relationships in our parenting and our work.

“Why did my child give up?”. “Why couldn’t they try harder?”. If you have ever had these thoughts, then you have come up against something called “Limbic Braking”.

You, your children, and every other human being have experienced this essential, protective  brain mechanism at work. But where did it come from? Why are we still treating it like it is something we can control and not something that happens to us? How can we harness the power of self-regulation to release these brakes for ourselves and those we care for?

Join Susan Hopkins and Dr. Stuart Shanker as they tackle these questions and delve deep into the human brain for answers.
