Better Together: The Power of Connection on the Nervous System
Manage episode 512592080 series 3686117
From the moment we’re born, our nervous system develops in response to the people around us. Safe relationships don’t just feel good — they literally shape our brain and body. In this episode of Divergently Psyched, Dr. Katie Stahler explores the science of connection: how co-regulation works, why social buffering protects us from stress, and what hormones like oxytocin have to do with trust and resilience.
You’ll also learn how to notice the relationships that regulate you versus the ones that drain you, and discover small, practical ways to bring more connection into your daily life. Because healing happens in safe relationships... and your nervous system was never meant to go it alone.
