The ugly (and beautiful) truth about parental power

In this video, Dr. Shefali Tsabary shared some brief but profound wisdom in her talk at TEDxSF: 

"We could blame psychiatry, education, Big Pharma, and the government.  And chances are, we may be right, but our influence in these spheres is relatively limited.  But let me tell you where we hold indubitable power: That is, in the relationship we nurture with our children-- our children and us, moment after moment after moment.  [...]  
There is real science behind this, to show how the parental relationship impacts not only our emotionality and our psychology, but also our neurobiology."

In my experience as a therapist, I found that out of all the techniques and methods and trials and errors in my practice, the Nurtured Heart Approach emerged as truly the most potent way to take advantage of the "moment after moment after moment" opportunities that Dr. Tsabary mentioned.  The NHA® is itself an in-the-moment approach that allows for fresh chances throughout one's day (as a parent or as a child) to step back into connection over what's going right, rather than connecting in the context of problems.
