Episode Notes
“Kids are really seeing more of what you’re doing. Even if you say the most brilliant, conscious building statements to your children; if you’re not modeling that, if you’re modeling reactivity, if you’re modeling worrying about the external world, whatever it is that you’re modeling is more what’s going to impact your children.” - Dr. Nicole LePera
“People can only provide others, even children, what they provide themselves.” - Dr. Nicole LePera
“I think the more you practice self-observation, the more you get to see how patterned those narratives and then those feelings are, so you can get clarity that ‘okay this is just that nervous anxiety I always feel in that situation’ so probably safe situation, old story that I can lose.” - Dr. Nicole LePera
