Summary

What is co-regulation and how do I feel safe in my relationship? In this episode my guest Bonnie Badenoch goes deep into the co-regulatory nervous system. We discuss the importance of interpersonal neurobiology and how we can regulate each other. She covers the myth and limitations of self-regulation and what we must learn instead. Bonnie is a psychotherapist and healer devoted to helping people feel safe in their own skin. We cover a lot of ground in this one, and I recommend going slow and maybe even listening twice.

  • The myth of 'self-regulation' [13:00]
  • What happens when we're co-disregulated [15:00]
  • How we can feel safe by using a third person [20:00]
  • Why co-regulation is so vital to our sense of safety and security [25:00]
  • If you think your partner is in their 'left-brain' too often, they might be experiencing this type of acute pain [36:00]
  • The little-known third branch of the autonomic nervous system [41:00]
  • How feeling helpless can mimic death in the body [46:00]
