A New Way to Connect with Our Newborns and Ourselves with Dr. Sam creator of Source Code

Send us a text

Dr. Sam joins host Lina Forrestal and discusses her work around on the relationship between mothers and their infants. She has figured out exactly what newborns need to feel safe and connected, and how this deeply affects who our children grow up to be, and whether they feel safe in the world.
Dr. Sam is teaching a course called ‘Parenting as Love: The 12 Secrets to a More Beautiful Life for You and Your Kids,’ which begins this May. Sign up here: https://newmamas--drsamrader.thrivecart.com/parenting-as-love/

Dr. Sam, creator of Source Code, shares a new approach to growth and evolution that identifies how our early childhood experience shapes us and our world, and how we can recode ourselves for a healthier, more beautiful life.

During her 18 years as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Sam discovered that there are only 12 core defense mechanisms we inherit in early childhood, if we don’t get what we need at each developmental stage. She calls these our Coping Styles.

A big part of Sam’s work is educating parents on the needs of their children at each stage of development. The good news is that we can reparent our children at any age, regardless of the age of the wounding. The most important part of that is reparenting ourselves, with deep self-love and self-compassion.
