Quote ~Dr. Stephen Porges~
"We are not stuck in the patterns that we're in right now. We can change those patterns. We can shape our system toward more regulation, toward more ability to feel safe in connection, to move through the world in a different way. And the biology, the research, tells us that this is in fact true."
