Ep 76: Diving Deep into Co-Regulation


Listen Later

Co-Regulation: Stepping in with soothing, responsive interactions to help a person be able to regulate their emotions.   OR Borrowing the ability to attain a regulated state from another person who is emotionally regulated and responsive to our need for assistance.

First – you need to regulate yourself.  

  • Be aware of own triggers
  • Find /create your own system of support
  • Find activities, interests to help you regulate (music, movies, hobbies, exercise)
  • Find what grounds and anchors you, a source of strength, comfort, and clarity of purpose like personal faith, nature, meditations
  • Second - let them borrow some of your regulation.  

    • Be (and remain) present
    • Reflect back calm and responsiveness  
    • Hold space
    • The final step of regulation is to actively teach children how to regulate themselves, giving them tools to use.
