Seen, Soothed, Secure, Safe = Self-regulation [CourierPostOnline.com]

Samantha Sangenito 6/25/154:00 AM

I am speaking to a room of five hundred people recently and ask this question:

"How many of you struggle with self-regulation?"

I re-phrase it.

"How many of you struggle with emotional self-control, impulses, and feeling calm in your bodies?"

The entire room, minus 12 people, raise their hands.

"I'm terrible with self-regulation," says one young woman.

"I'm not too good at that either," says a fifty-something man.

"That's my weakness," another woman chuckles, then shakes her head.

A sea of faces grin in recognition.

What is self-regulation? And why is it so many of us don't have it?
