This was brilliant! Love Stephen Porges and always need more PVT clarity! I really got so much out of this hour+ conversation. I loved learning about how the SNS (along with Social Engagement) is our play and excitement mode. Also about the caregiving challenge. Thanks so much for this – will listen again and again as there is SO MUCH packed into this!
completely agree with you Lisa on all of the above. thank you for listening and sharing your experience =)
