Our nervous system is kind of like a smoke detector: it's constantly looking to make sure that we're safe.
Ever wondered how trauma affects family dynamics and addiction? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Linda Aber opens up about her unique journey as a mother and psychology coach. Adopting two children from Russian orphanages sparked Linda's deep dive into psychology and attachment parenting. She’s now a Certified Nurtured Heart® Approach Trainer, Certified Theraplay® Group Specialist, and Family Life Educator CCFE.
In this first part of her interview, Linda discusses how the parasympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in managing trauma and addiction within families. She sheds light on the importance of emotional regulation and the transformative power of social engagement. Linda emphasizes that parents must first understand their own traumas to better support their loved ones struggling with addiction. Linda's insights are not just theoretical; they are deeply rooted in her personal experiences.

This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for parents looking to foster connection and emotional stability in their homes.
