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

After a break, 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 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. Every nervous system finds its own unique way and pace 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!

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

    What has your body already figured out to help you settle?

    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.
