It was an honour to hold our first โ€˜regulation awareness through experienceโ€™ workshop for carers this week๐ŸŒณ

Our setting for this workshop was just as intentional as our setting for our group therapy - to signal safety.

Safety to receive support, to learn and share together, and to acknowledge the vital, rewarding and exhausting role of being a carer.

We discussed:
โ“What is regulation?
๐ŸŒบ The role of the Central Nervous System
๐Ÿชœ Ladder of Regulation
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธStrategies to support moving between states of Fight/ Flight/ Freeze/ Shutdown
๐Ÿ’• Healing the Nervous System

We experienced strategies for supporting Nervous System hygiene for ourselves and the children we support. ๐Ÿ““ โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿง  ๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŒฟ

How long has it been since you truly felt regulated and supported? As a therapist or carer?!

A reset is so powerful in bringing awareness to the feeling and strategies we aim to support our children with.

We plan to hold these workshops monthly in various locations, offering various regulatory and reset experiences, with an aim to empowering carers to support their little personโ€™s self-regulation development.
