But when is this tuning out happening ? When our brain is being developed and our brain , this is the part that nobody taught me in medical school . But it turns out that brain science now teaches us that the human brain develops under the impact of the environment .
When our brain is being developed and our brain , this is the part that nobody taught me in medical school . But it turns out that brain science now teaches us that the human brain develops under the impact of the environment . So the the most salient feature of the environment that shapes the circuit of the human brain is actually the relationship with the parents .
The average doctor never learns this stuff . The average physician never gets a single lecture on brain development or the brain develops in interaction with the environment . So when you're seeing and , and let alone do they hear about trauma ?
Doctor Daniel Siegel , who's a psychiatrist at UCL A and a very prolific author and mind researcher .

So when the adults show up in a calm loving way that the child downloads that into his own nervous system , and then he , he grows up , he , he doesn't , he's not gonna be an infant forever .
So the the most salient feature of the environment that shapes the circuit of the human brain is actually the relationship with the parents . And if the parents are present and emotionally attuned and available child brains develop properly . But the parents are stressed , the child absorbs the stress .
