This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Fin Williams focuses on the earliest connection we make: with our parents. 40% of us live stories that become prophecies and influence how we see the world. This is a problem, because they also influence the stories we tell our children.

Dr Fin Williams is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in Perinatal Psychology and the application of Attachment Theory. After more than 11 years of working with children and families in the NHS, she has established Parent Perspectives Ltd, a big-thinking Social Enterprise that aims to support parents in their transition to parenthood, reduce the prevalence of postnatal depression, and improve well-being outcomes for parents and their children. Her vision is to create a more socially, emotionally, and economically connected society by focusing support on the earliest connection that we make: the connection with our parents.

At TEDxExeter 2014 our speakers and performers connected us with other worlds. Our talks exposed corruption in big business, shared effective approaches to tackling social inequality and gave a voice to those whose human rights are under threat. We explored the impact of fast changing technologies on all our lives. We journeyed through fire and forest to frozen landscapes. We were challenged to consider worlds of extremes, cutting edge controversies and risky opportunities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
