“Might we get special access in parenthood to rewire our emotional brains that developed in infancy? We can repeat what happened to us—the way we were programmed to parent.

When we immerse our developing parenting brains in oxytocin from nurture and create conscious changes, we can dramatically reshape our amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and insula toward mental health.”
