We share the processing we have done following the Mother Hunger episode and the interview with Dr. Siegel.

This tells us, we learned, what the wall of terror is and how to get through it. The website is HERE . You ...

In this, she is able to explain how and why dissociation starts in infancy - and what it is protecting us from exactly. Trigger warning for mother related content, and reference to the mother-b...
