Description

Co-regulation is a key component in today’s popular intervention models such as Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and more. More and more evidence-based approaches in trauma-focused care are demonstrating that a critical quality of the care-giver or helping professional is their ability to create the conditions for co-regulation. Essentially, this work happens through role-modeling and the unconscious process of de-escalation that occurs when someone who is calm and collected can hold space for someone who isn’t.

Our ability to effectively provide this co-regulation takes practice. Mindfulness is a state of being: in which we are present, connected, and in full awareness of what is going on both inside ourselves and all around. Mindfulness practices are the tools that allow us to orient ourselves toward this state of present-moment awareness. With regular practice, it becomes easier to regulate our own emotions and levels of activation in the presence of others who are activated. When we can be present to whatever arises, we can also create the conditions for change.
