Through very slow progress (and no end of hurt) they seem to making a good go of it now. Counselling no doubt helps any couple in such a situation so I will keep you in mind for any readers of my blog who face such difficulties as you clearly have the expertize to deal with such situations. Thanks and love reading the blog Grace Hi Lisa,

]]> Comment on The Neuroscience of Resilience: Nervous System Regulation by kelly http://lisakifttherapy.com/mental-health/the-neuroscience-of-resilience-nervous-system-regulation/comment-page-1/#comment-24331 kelly Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:42:36 +0000 http://lisakifttherapy.com/?p=4522#comment-24331 Thank you Lisa! I'm studying in child psychotherapy, I love the way in which you clarify a lot in a coherent unbaffling way. I also support mothers to breast feed, and I find it encouraging to combine the possitve brain development, with it's affect's in later deveolpment. Frustratingly, the information thrown at new breast feeding mothers usually focuses on nutrition and the physical benefits; giving lesser value to emotional health and well-being. Both are equally important. I'll continue to remain posted.... Kelly, Oxford, UK. Thank you Lisa!

Can you make one up? I realized this when I tried this and could think of nowhere I was safe, which made the stress worse. Any other way to release oxytocin? Thank you.
