The best learning always involves both knowledge and embodying that knowledge. This means tending to our own mental health, so the second foundation is doing the experiential work that lets us explore and heal our own wounds. ![]() In order to do this, we need to be able to hold that same kind of space for parents who are struggling. The science is so clear about how being present, listening deeply, and offering what the child needs are the pathway for healthy development. One is a deep understanding of relational neuroscience because it provides those of you who want to support parents with solid knowledge to share about how to nurture their young ones of all ages. In my experience with offering this work to therapists, the ability to provide this kind of support rests on two foundations. Robyn’s year-long immersive program is all about nurturing the nurturers, providing the solid support that parents need to raise these coming generations to be wise, compassionate, strong, and brave – and also playful and creative.

And even more amazing, I have so much more grace and compassion for myself and all my parts.This has been such a freeing experience in how I’m able to be with myself, and consequently others. I have a new awareness of my own nervous system and what’s happening with me internally. I just know I can feel a shift as I’ve embodied this experience of the resonating and attuning presence that I’ve received during my time in Small Group and with my Pod. And I’m exploring more of my perfectionist behaviors and tendencies, looking back into where those behaviors and beliefs come from, and being patient with myself as I work toward being feeling safe enough for those parts to step aside.”Ī Being With 2022 Student says: “The shift in my nervous system is happeningĪt such a deep level that I’m having a hard time putting my experience into words. I am giving myself more of that kindness as well. I’ve found myself encountering other people’s behavior in a much less judgmental way – they’re doing the best they can, their behavior makes perfect sense in this moment – and I really believe that. Not even once.Īt first I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, but now I realize I don’t have to rely on things to be different at work for me to feel better about work – I feel better because I’m more regulated, I have a wider window of tolerance, and I have increased self-compassion, which means I can handle the ups and downs of a stressful work environment so much more easily. Since coming back from summer break, I haven’t cried at work at all. Sometimes I was crying every day at work. Prior to this program, I was really unhappy at work. I’m still me… but I feel different in such a good way. A Being With 2022 Student says : “Everything has changed for me.
