This session offers space to explore self-regulation as a practice that we can build gently over time. We'll begin by landing in the body together, using resourcing and grounding to help the nervous system settle. We will have a group brainstorm on what supports daily self-soothing and a short explanation in the somatics behind it.

We'll move through a resourcing memory practice, recalling a time we were able to regulate with ease, and reflect together in triads. We'll also do some writing - offering ourselves a compassionate plan for moments of overwhelm.Come ready to notice, reflect, and connect with others. Remember you always have the right not to share and simply listen. I love the way folks have been showing up in the ways that are right for them. Every nervous system finds its own way - its own timing toward regulation.

  • Noticing and Celebrating Your Self-Regulation

    This week, notice the moments when self-regulation is needed, big or small. Even noticing these times are a good thing! This is a practice.

    When you notice one, get curious: what do you do?

    What has your body already figured out to help you settle? What does it intuitively do?

    Jot it down in your phone or a notebook, whatever is easiest for you.

    Take a moment to appreciate yourself for finding ways to take care of yourself!

    We'll share a few out loud or in the chat when we gather next time. (optional)

    Together, we can draw on our collective wisdom and discover new possible ways and tools to self-regulate our minds, hearts, and bodies.

  • Recordings will be available here within 48 hours after each session.

    Recordings include the practices only - shares are never recorded, to protect the confidentiality of the group.
