Self Reg Journey

  Limbic to Limbic systems Positive limbic resonance  A school where people have instant feelings of safety, empathy, and kindness, both emotionally and physically.

  Interception is an awareness of feeling inside out. Exteroception is an awareness of sense what is happening around us.    When we are under stress, we have low awareness of interception and exteroception.  When we are in freeze mode, both interception and exteroception malfunction. 

  Developing personal strategies for restoration and enhancing resilience allows us to build flexibility in human experience biologically, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and pro-socially.    5 steps of Shanker’s self-regulation: Reframing, Recognizing, Reducing, Reflecting, and Responding is a tool to see behind the scenes of human development through science, break through stereotypes, and create a customized, supportive, and sustainable way of living for individuals.  

I chose this image to be my visual metaphor for canalization and up and down-regulation As we develop as humans, we all have a few hidden canalized experiences as those hidden rocks in the ocean. The strong current comes and goes, and our traits (rockface) got shaped consciously (the splash above the water) and unconsciously (the strong hidden current under the water).  Self-reg is like a light tower in the image that gives lights and provide a sense of direction throughout varieties of weather (emotions and triggers).
