Brain & nervous system shapes around essential nutrients of safety, connection, and dignity
In early life, body & brain are in rapid development
Sensation is the first sense to develop, and is fully developed early in life
Body-based systems for safety, emotional communication, & connection develop earlier than the brain structures for abstract thought
Distributed nervous system shapes somatically and emotionally to its early environment
In other words, your body shapes to its early environment
