24.01.2022 What is co-regulation? I have been sharing a few co-regulation tools lately... without explaining what co-regulation is! Co-regulation is the process of one... nervous system responding to the state of another nervous system. Here are a few examples: Have you ever spent some time with someone who was very agitated? Did you notice that you too became agitated just by being next to them? Have you ever been in the presence of someone very calm... and left feeling calmer yourself? Another example, with animals (and then I'll bring it to parenting...): Have you ever seen a documentary where a herd of deer (to use a Christmasy example ;-)) are peacefully eating the green grass of a pasture? Then, suddenly, one of them hears something in the bush (maybe a cracking branch). This deer quickly lifts his head up, he's on "alert". Almost immediately, many other deer in the herd do the same thing. They might not have heard the noise themselves, but they feel that if one of them is on alert, they should be on guard too. As the first deer returns to eating grass and relaxes, so do the other deer. If one of the deer starts running away really fast, ALL the other deer will run away too. -> You will NEVER see a deer staying relaxed, peacefully eating grass while the rest of the deer are running away at great speed. It's a survival mechanism. The deer's system perceives the "flight response" in the other deer's systems and goes into a "flight response" itself too, through co-regulation. That's how it stays alive. Our nervous system is very similar to that of mammals, such as deer. When our system perceives a threat (whether the threat is real or not!), it will go into a "fight or flight" response. Immediately, the people who are around (often our children), can perceive that through neuro-ception (it's not conscious, it happens through the nervous system, in the body). Their system, in turn, will go into "fight or flight" as well (wanting to fight, yell, push, punch, bite or run away). -> Our system being on "alert" communicates that to their system. The good thing is that it works the other way too: when we're grounded and relaxed, our children co-regulate with us and can also be calm and relaxed. -> The message "it's safe" is passed from our nervous system to their nervous system <3 . . . Does that make sense, lovely Mamas? Have you noticed that when you're feeling relaxed, your kids tend to be more relaxed too? And when you're stressed, they tend to be more agitated? That is co-regulation in action. <3 In this picture, I'm using skin-to-skin (Ayo calls it "belly-belly") and my grounding skills to help her agitated body calm down and fall asleep after a big, exciting day With Love xx Manon #SomaticExperiencing #CoRegulation #SelfRegulation #NervousSystem #TraumaHealing #AwareParenting #ConsciousMothers #StressRelease

20.01.2022 Stuck for what to give this year? Loving some of these ideas!

18.01.2022 It’s futile to try to gain control of a #child by commanding, yelling, punishing or engaging in cognitive manipulations to respond to difficult behaviour. When a child surrenders, from a #brain state point of view, it can fuel fear or intimidation and put the child in a ‘lower brain’ state. This is why children can become reflexive and their emotions and behaviour can escalate in challenging situations. The lower in the brain that a child is operatingthat is, the closer to t...Continue reading

17.01.2022 It's always a great day to get adjusted at Family Chiropractic Bundaberg Today is a bit more special.

15.01.2022 Doesn’t information look interesting in different forms?

13.01.2022 I do not believe you, I said clearly. You are too smart, and you are too intuitive not to have seen that shit coming. She started to vibrate with anger. I mean, vibrate. I looked at her, I know you’re angry. She said, No, I’m not. I pressed on. I know you’re really angry with me, and I know you want to take my face off right now, but I’d like you to give a name to the anger that exists between us right now. Once we give it a name, we can let it fall away and see what comes.

11.01.2022 For anyone looking for support, this is a beautiful offering!

10.01.2022 Trauma is not your fault. (Period) (Take all the time you need for that to sink in) Over the past several years, the following phrase/meme has made its rounds....Continue reading

06.01.2022 Soften Fridays Love note to you Dear Healing Hearts,... Softening is a practice that can help regulate our bodies, support us to move out of a stress response, loosen the grip of constriction and tension, create space in our body and mind, and let go of stuck thoughts and feelings. If you get stuck in the grip of distress whisper to yourself "soften". One simple and powerful word. Soften your breath, soften your jaw, soften your belly, soften your heart, soften your mind, soften your stories and soften your voice. with love, Carissa

04.01.2022 In the split second of reading the title, before I saw the text, I thought oooh this will be handy for the boys. Lol It was good for me instead Did it make you chuckle too?

03.01.2022 What is interesting to note is that children seem less vulnerable to infection and appear to have milder symptoms than adults. There have been NO reported deaths in children 0-9 years of age. One very small study of 9 infants under 1 year of age infected with COVID-19 found that none of the infants had severe illness or complications. In fact, 1 had no symptoms, 2 had mild upper respiratory tract symptoms, and 4 had fever. (5)... This well researched post from Elisa Song, MD - Healthy Kids Happy Kids is worth a read
