In the first episode of Season 5, I am in conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington, a powerhouse speaker and psychologist. We talk about human connection, family secrets, and emotional regulation.We also talk about grief and her father's passing, just a few days before this recording.Dr. Carrington points out, how humans are neurobiologically wired for connection, yet struggle with looking each other directly. She emphasises how technology has created unprecedented disconnection, impacting mental health and emotional regulation. Family secrets can have profound impacts across generations, as illustrated by Dr. Jody Carrington's discovery of her biological sister at age 36. Emotional regulation starts from within and requires conscious effort to counteract constant stimulation.
