About this listen

Kerri and Paula discussed the importance of personal growth and development, with a focus on the impact of trauma on children's brain development and mental health. They highlighted the role of neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins in regulating mood and stress responses, and how trauma can cause imbalances leading to mental disorders. The discussion also centered around the significance of the bond between a mother and her newborn child, emphasizing the importance of skin-to-skin contact and the first touch after birth for both the baby's and mother's well-being. Concerns regarding children being taken away immediately after birth were also raised
