We tend to think of baby and parent as separate beings, separate nervous systems. And yet in so many ways they are part of an inter-connected, inter-dependent system.
In this episode I’m talking with Meaghan Beames, an experienced Registered Massage Therapist, CST practitioner, mom, and the founder of the Beames CST Training Center. Our discussion focuses on regulation, coregulation, and the parent baby nervous system. While we do talk about the role of body work in supporting parent baby functioning and regulation, our conversation goes beyond the body work piece for a more comprehensive conversation about parent baby regulation.
We discuss:
- What is polyvagal theory
- The interconnectedness of parent baby nervous systems
- Baby’s need for coregulation
- How the pregnancy and birth experience impact the body
- How bodywork can support regulation and better functioning
- Emotions, physical symptoms, and the body’s stored memory of our experiences.
- Ways to support regulation and coregulation
This was a really great and insightful conversation. I’d love to hear your biggest takeaways.
