July 8, 2020 Lesson One: Self-Soothing
NOTE THE NEW TIME! 5 PM Eastern/2 PM Pacific.
Back by popular demand!* Come join Dixie and Carolyn in the Self-Soothing lesson from Mind Matters. Self-soothing is a skill that is developed over time, through practice. The goal of self-soothing is to dial-down the reactive response of the body’s central nervous system. A traumatized person needs a means of reducing the automatic reactivity of their nervous system. Self-soothing will help. You will learn and practice four self-soothing skills that you can use personally as well as share with colleagues, clients, and students. *Over 3,000 people have viewed this class online. You will love it live! Objectives: Connect the key concept of self-soothing/self-regulation to positive life outcomes. Recognize the difference between taking the time to decide rather than immediately reacting to persons, places, and things. Learn four different self-soothing skills that can be used inside and outside of the classroom. Practice self-soothing skills at least twice during the webinar.
