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!
