“We’re all in stress response. Stress mode. Survival mode. I’m not able to teach effectively and my child is not able to learn whatever I’m doing. So then all I’m doing is all these scripts from my childhood or my past experiences are coming out. ‘Don’t talk to me that way, that’s not nice, why would you hurt your brother? You know better than that.’ All of that stuff. I’m not really teaching then.” 25:49
