Building Resilience and Regulation Skills through Accessible Neuroscience and Connection Strategies

Neuroscience shows that humans are born dependent, requiring consistent, compassionate care and co-regulation not just to survive, but to thrive. Dr. Louis Cozolino emphasizes that we are not products of "survival of the fittest," but rather "survival of the most nurtured." Resilience is not innate; it must be nurtured through co-regulation. Our need for compassionate care never diminishes—attuned and reciprocal interactions help us navigate challenges and rebound from adversity.

In this session, we will explore the keys to fostering resilience and emotional stability through balanced regulation and co-regulation. We’ve all witnessed moments of emotional chaos—outbursts of anger, arguments, and tears—that arise from dysregulation, often leading to negative outcomes. Rooted in the principle that relationships come first, this session will highlight how just one safe, committed adult can significantly help a child heal and build resilience through the transformative power of co-regulation.
