Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds

We use the following strategies to keep our bodies and brains fit and healthy! Take a look below!

Zones of Regulation

Regulation is something everyone continually works on whether we are aware of it or not. We all encounter trying circumstances that can test our limits. If we can recognize when we are becoming less regulated, we are able to do something about it to manage our feelings and get ourselves to a healthy place. This comes more naturally for some, but for others it is a skill that needs more attention and practice. This is the goal of The Zones of Regulation. Sorting Our Emotions into Four Zones Feelings are complicated. They come in different sizes, intensities, and levels of energy that are unique with in our brains and bodies.
