Self-Regulation
Are you familiar with the saying, ‘Ride the wave’? Easier said than done, right? Self-regulation is the ability to control one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in an ever-changing environment with ever-changing demands. For kids and teens (& let’s be honest, adults too), this can be a difficult feat, but I am here to help. This is my forte!
​
Together, we will:
-
Investigate challenging behaviors
-
Learn the role the nervous system plays in regulation
-
Explore sensations that arise with intense emotions
-
Discover how to respond during moments of dysregulation
-
Add tools to your toolbox (coping skills and calming strategies)
-
& ultimately expand your child’s window of tolerance (& yours too)
When we discover the root of behaviors, we are more equipped to handle the daily challenges life throws at us.
