What is co-regulation?

Co-regulation is what Sapiens need as infants to develop the capacity for self-regulation. It is developed through equal and healthy physiological attunement between mother, father, and child (neuroceptively). Parents who cannot self-regulate will not be able to co-regulate a baby. Such a baby won’t learn how to self-regulate and will depend on sympathetic arousal of hump/hurt to self-regulate as an adult. i.e destructive of self and other.

Here is a short video I made in Dec 2014 as part of a project in Oakland, CA, that puts the above in the context of poverty and systemic oppression. This video was my personal synthesis of learning as part of this project. I made this case study document for TSIC after wrapping up the TLAB project.
