Regulate your nervous system, build resilience will start with an overview of how our nervous systems work including fight, flight and freeze as well as polyvagal theory. From there we dive deeper into neuroception and co-regulation, as well as a brief discussion of how trauma affects the nervous system. Subsequently we will review research on resilience, and you will have the opportunity to build your own personal resilience plan, that if reviewed at least monthly will support you toward growing resilience and clarity. The format will be teaching followed by discussion and working on your personal resilience plan. No textbook is needed, but I will provide information about interesting books and articles.
