In this episode, Leah and Adrienne explore the concept of emotional contagion and the impact of being a highly sensitive parent has on the parent's emotional regulation and response to their children's emotions.

Takeaways

• Emotional contagion describes the unconscious process of automatically catching and absorbing the emotions and attitudes of those around you.
• Highly sensitive parents may experience a deeper and more impactful emotional response to their children's meltdowns, and it is important to recognize that this is a normal part of being highly sensitive.
• Repairing the relationship with the child after a challenging interaction is crucial, and it is important to practice tools and techniques to regulate emotions and respond more effectively in these situations.
