Today on the pod we have the one and only Attachment Nerd Eli Harwood to tell us about attachment in her soothing co-regulating voice. She is a master clinician who has gained a following of over 500K because of the way she so clearly and empathically explains the science of attachment that applies to, all of us.
So if you've heard about attachment but aren't quite sure what it is exactly and how it applies to you and your people, this episode is the perfect primer.
In this episode Eli explains why her first book on parenting is focused on assisting parents in developing security within themselves, some of the cultural history behind the insecure parenting methods that have been rampant in our society and run counter to our evolutionary instincts, and some really soothing reframes on how we as adults (yes, in the midst of parenting our actual children) can start to process the dormant trauma in our systems for increased security and efficacy in our parenting.
Eli is brilliant and kind and I am beyond honored that she was able to speak to our community today. I know she will get your wheels turning and deepen your awareness of what's happening and needed in the relationships you value most!
