Alternative Strategies to Promote Self-Regulation
Presented by: Paula Freeman, CSCSlide2
Self-Regulation
Self-regulation
makes it possible for us to know and manage our emotions, recognize emotions in others, and make use of these abilities in relationships. With adequate self regulation, we are able to control immediate responses to stimuli in order to make behavioral choices (Tollison, Synatschk, & Logan, 2011).
The capacity to self-regulate is the foundation upon which a functional sense of self develops (Ogden, Minton, & Pain, 2006).Slide3
Grounding Activity:
Calm Creates Calm
Grounding
is the technique and practice of purposely connecting to the ground beneath us and to our somatic experience in the moment. It is the active practice of creating a physical and emotional inner experience of calm connection to our own body and our surroundings. Grounding facilitates interactive affect regulation
(Tollison, Synatschk, & Logan, 2011
).
Before each therapeutic session, a counselor might ground herself to facilitate interaction with the client. To begin each session, a counselor might use a grounding activity to help a client experience a physical and emotional inner experience.
Let’s experience a grounding activity now: Roots of a Tree
Other activities are in the handouts and include: Seaweed, Thai Chi, and Still Quite Place
Discuss with a partner or group how you felt before and after the grounding activity. Also, how might these skills help you during the day? Slide4
