I had to read this twice. There’s so much here. And so much that spoke to me that made sense. Gratitude, Emma.

Thanks so much for this, Carol. I'm trying to help people understand how much what we don't know (about early trauma) affects us now, to take the blame away and replace it with an understanding of biology - because we are our biology. It's not our fault. Not our fault how we parent or get parented. We don't live in a world that helps anyone regulate.

Thanks for sharing! Many people can benefit from learning skills and developing emotional muscles for regulation. Developing and implementing healthy ways of coping can be a lifelong practice. You’re doing a service by illuminating this for your readers and explaining it in an accessible manner in my opinion
