Extended Rewind Episode 059 - Co-Regulation and Self-Regulation

In this week’s episode Jason and Edward find themselves in a good space. The weather being warm, and spring turning to summer has brightened both Jason’s and Edward’s mental space. Edward starts out talking about his realization that his outside life is starting to be ok, but that he is feeling that a good spring cleaning of his house is needed. Edward and Jason talk about a new project Edward just completed and the relationship dynamic with a long-time friend. We check in with Edward about ADHD and relay some stories about our experiences. Lastly, we talk about changes in perceptions and growing up.

In our Deep Dive this week, we look at the working theories around co-regulation and self-regulation. We discuss the science and psychology of these two related states of being, as well as how they relate to trauma, maturity, and our own personal lives. Within the discussion there are some tips on identifying deep routed issues and challenges, as well as some resources on how to overcome deficiencies in these areas.
