Can't find words to express how much I value this content you're sharing for free; the goodwill, the experience & the humility driving it, and just how much potential for compassion, strength and common good it offers. It breeds good, for all of us, together. Thank you all from the other side of the globe.

This is a new and liberating concept. I look forward to adopting it into our parenting. Thank you :)

I've been having a hard time feeling like I failed as a parent because my 5.5 yr old seemed frustrated and angry 80% of the time and even more when around me. Thank you for showing me frustration is normal and so that I can show him he can count on me. I didn't feel comfortable dealing with him because it turns out I was not comfortable with frustration. I can see this is not his personality but a normal thing that everyone experiences.

We absolutely love Dr. Neufeld's work and use it in our own clinic. This was a delight to watch and learn from.

Many thanks for posting this. I was unable to join for the live event last night. Incredibly insightful as always ❤

Wanted to add that I am very impressed by Tamara’s perceptiveness & compassion. She brought a lot of street cred to this discussion. Glad she’s actively working with students. 👏🏽

When Deborah speaks about understanding that frustration is just one of the feelings she’s having, albeit the strongest & most outstanding one at the time, she is already engaging in the pause that Gordon calls “having mixed emotions.” It’s heartening to know that by getting out of the way awareness can be instinctive, too. Thanks for making this video available to all 🙏🏽

Thank you for this! Every time I listen to content surrounding attachment theory it resonates so much! I started out learning about my kids and, really, this work applies to all humans! It makes so much sense. I do wonder, if there is a resource to help parents understand and tap into “play” and how to encourage our children also in a positive way to try things that could bring them release and joy?
