We've mentioned Erica Komisar multiple times on this podcast, so it's a great pleasure to be able to interview her on today's episode.
Erica is a mother, clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author. She is particularly known for her defense of motherhood and a woman's instinct to mother against our very anti-family culture.
This conversation gave a lot of scientific background to a lot of what we talk about here at Family Teams, as well as extremely helpful practical wisdom for parents today.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:19 The Instinct of a Mother
