I’m here to show what nurturing is supposed to do and why, when we don’t have it, our species wheels come off.
The connection between our chaotic, hard, traumatic world and an absence of real, co-regulated, neuropsychological nurturing is absolute. This is misogyny in real time

Nurturing occurs in a flow state, especially and most importantly when our infants are young. Mindfulness is the receiver of the physiological information and hypnosis is the sender of physiological internal data. The catch is maintaining flow is learned and dependent on safety

The greatest lie ever told is that humans are violent by nature. For ~ 300k years we survived, by soothing each other’s fears. Then 10k yrs ago we lost our way. Brining nurturing back won’t be easy. But it will restore what was stolen - our ability to feel safe together.

For 10k yrs humanity has been shaped by fear - patriarchy/psychopathy and control. We adapted but also lost our most basic need - nurturing. Renurturing won’t feel natural, at first, but our biology remembers. Healing is hard, but it truly is who we are meant to be.

Misogyny, like refeeding syndrome, is the most violent reaction to renurturing. Because nothing threatens patriarchal rule more than human connection

The only way to dismantle the harm misogyny/patriarchy/psychopathy is to rebuild what it hd stolen: The capacity to nurture. Healing begins when we prioritize connection over control, care over cruelty, humanity over hierarchy.

When nurturing is present it rewrites the story of our lives, reminding us that connection is not a luxury but a necessity. It transforms survival into thriving, bridging the gap between our most vulnerable states and the infinite possibilities of who we can become

There are two major behaviours of anyone who is psychopathic or psychopathic-adjacent: Cruelty and Control. Cruelty is the point.

Psychopathic cruelty and control can be best understood as a very violent adverse reaction. It’s part of the renurturing syndrome

Just like refeeding syndrome is a real thing that needs to be applied to those who have been starved and are malnourished. Renurtuing when one has been malnurtured, relationally starved and/or tortured by other humans, has adverse effects. To heal, nurturing has to be done slowly

Psychopathy/psychopathic-adjacent behaviours are not an innate part of our species. We have dozens and dozens of neurobiological backup plans to prevent it. The largest is to be nurtured in utero and after we are born for many years. Want a more cohesive world, protect children

We all crave someone to come in a help us. Something to make it better. That something is nurturing. Safety and Security. This craving, this deep desire is a visceral, tangible requirement of our species. It’s from evolving alongside fire and connected communities.

How many people, do you suppose, had a psychopathic parent and have no realization, and then subconsciously align with the more conservative politicians because they are in a massive fawn response. Being the good kid to avoid torture?

Nurturing is not an accident of human evolution; it’s our crowing achievement. From the moment early humans gathered around the warmth of fire, nurturing became the foundation of survival, teaching us that connection is no just an option but a biological imperative. Nurturing develops empathy

Psychopathy fears nurturing because it unravels their playbook of cruelty and control, exposing its absolute weakness

Psychopathy is not born. It’s cultivated the barren soil of mal-nurturing and a world that idolizes psychopathic traits and hates care, needs meeting and nurturing.

That feeling of wanting to be rescued and helped is universal. It’s just that in a misogynistic/patriarchal/psychopathic world this gets interpreted as a violent, take control type of rescue instead of a safe/secure/protected/helped/soothed - nurtured - superior - type of rescue

Humanities greatest evolutionary achievement wasn’t the development of tools, but the capacity to nurture. It was in the act of caring for one another - soothing cries, sharing resources, and protecting the vulnerable - that we built the bonds that made us more than individuals. Nurturing fuels us.

We cannot heal humanity’s wounds without addressing the mal-nurturance that cripples our ability to be healthy. Just as surely as lack of food weakens the body, lack of care and nurturing weakens the mind, heart and body.

To nurture is to honour the most profound truth of our existence: that we are biologically wired for attachment/synchronized connection and cannot fully develop without it. It is the unseen force that heals our wounds, rebuilds our trust, and reminds us that together we are capable of humanity.
