Fascinating read with valuable insights. I agree that changes in parenting styles and how (and what) schools teach children could make a huge difference.
I encourage you to check out http://chooselovemovement.org/, a nonprofit that provides free curricula for all grade levels (and some for workplaces and other community settings) along the lines of what you suggest.
Both research findings and testimonials from teachers who have used it prove it works. I have no personal connection to the group; I learned of it while researching an article I wrote.
Here’s a quote from their website’s home page:
“When educators and students prioritize teaching and practicing essential life skills such as relationships building, emotional management, and coping skills it cultivates a sense of trust and security. This creates a connected and compassionate environment. When students feel a sense of belonging and psychological safety they are happier, more well adjusted, and more likely to seek help.”
This part got me, your friend's book, "How the World is Making Our Children Mad and What to Do About It: A field guide to raising empowered children and growing a more beautiful world" - it got me because as someone who suffers from PTSD, one of the most significant and destructive symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder is emotional dysregulation.
PTSD makes it *incredibly* difficult to tap into the emotional well, because our systems are all fucked up. So, 1, It's amazing to finally see some acknowledgement about the neurobiological impact of mental health, and 2, thank you so much for sharing it!
Does the breadth of body-based therapy, bioenergetics, include such things as frequency medicine, oxidative therapies, herbs, etc. that many of us passionately embrace? Do you think that electronic devices would augment, really enhance, the healing process?

Well done, Gary!

Awesome interview!
What a lovely conversation! Thank you for sharing
Fab article. I look forward to our conversation soon Gary.
Thank you and Mr. Sandberg!
A query, please.
Does the breadth of body-based therapy, bioenergetics, include such things as frequency medicine, oxidative therapies, herbs, etc. that many of us passionately embrace? Do you think that electronic devices would augment, really enhance, the healing process?
Again, a lovely interview with the therapist!
