(Registration Closed) Empowering Self-Regulation

Description

Self-regulation is defined as the ability to adapt our neurological arousal, emotional state, attention, and behavior to meet our own needs and the demands of the situation.

The ability to be self-regulated is built from many underlying skills over a lifetime, starting in infancy. We learn self-regulation through many exposures to people who help us to feel safe when our brain and body are experiencing stress. Even when we have the necessary foundational skills our ability to self-regulate can change from moment to moment because it is dependent on the state of our nervous system. As professionals working on self-regulation with our clients, we need a variety of tools and a depth of understanding to enable us to empower self-regulation.

To be self-regulated we must be able to notice our own feelings and have the tools to meet our own needs.

The Powerfully You curriculum is a series of lessons designed to teach fundamental skills and concepts that encourage self-awareness and enable self-regulation, leading to improvements in emotional mastery. Powerfully You provides a lens through which individuals can view themselves and others in a positive light. This lens values strengths, individual differences, and sees the whole person from a perspective of compassion and curiosity.

In this training, we will explore the contributions of these concepts to self-regulation:

• Interoception and Body Sensing
• Arousal and State regulation
• Coregulation
• Sensory Integration and sensorimotor tools
• Relational connectedness
• Mindful awareness
• Awareness of habits/Body Battery
• Self-compassion
• Inquiry-based thinking

You are your best tool for teaching your clients to be self-regulated. Children internalize the regulation provided to them through co-regulation in the context of a connected relationship.

In Empowering Self-Regulation: Learning to be Powerfully You participants will learn concepts and tools that are applicable to everyone, children, and adults alike. This information will expand your toolbox of regulation strategies to use with your clients, as well as give you information and tools to expand your own resilience and capacity for self-regulation.
