THE INTERVIEW:

In this video, Marti and I discuss:

• The importance of EMOTIONAL PRESENCE

• We breakdown what emotional presence means, and why it is KEY to raising healthy and resilient children

• We then breakdown the science behind this practice and how to start TODAY – It is never too late to give yourself and your children more connection, safety and LOVE!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Epigenetics, Polyvagal, Neuroscience all come to the same conclusion -

• We need three things to transform our lives:

  1. An experience/feeling of safety

  2. An experience of who you truly are

  3. This experience to be witnessed by a caring other

• The importance of the VAGUS NERVE in human development - and why we need to nurture this to feel safe in our bodies

• You cannot give your kids what your parents did not give you – unless you work to CHANGE THIS

• What is emotional presence? Emotional presence requires slowing down, coming into our hearts, making eye contact, listening inside

• EYE CONTACT produces oxytocin – love hormone (opposes cortisol)

• Physical and emotional safety are different things

• We are hungry for contact and connection

• Emotional connection can only happen when you slow down, breathe, and get into your body

• There is a massive hunger for love and connection in our world right now

• We CANNOT FILL THAT LONELY EMPTY UNWORTHY SPOT – from the outside –people or things, busyness/distraction!

• When we don’t have the emotional safety – we tend to close our hearts off to the same connection we actually all need as humans to THRIVE

• Why we struggle with emotional intimacy – HUGE EPIDEMIC

• The more we get present to ourselves the more we can connect to others 

• It's NEVER TOO LATE
