Listen "003 - A Dance of Feather and Fin: The Art of Regulation"
Episode Synopsis
Our journey is not meant to be walked alone - sometimes, the way forward is found in connection. In today's episode, Lora, Jeff, and the lovely Bird explore the power of regulation and co-regulation, and why support and empowerment are so important. We explore:- What regulation really means - and why it's not just about feeling calm- The difference between self-regulation, co-regulation, and codependency- Why being independent doesn't mean doing everything alone- How presence - not words - is often the most powerful way to support others- The role of self-compassion in holding space for someone else- Why "handling your own stuff" doesn't mean carrying it aloneOur adventurer finds himself on a calm sea after his brutal storm last episode, feeling alone and tired, still bracing for the next wave. But as he watches a dolphin and a bird move in perfect sync, he realizes he was never truly alone.
