It may not come as surprise that the most requested topics people asked me to talk about last year was why regulation doesn’t mean “calm” and how to become the child’s external regulator. Both are great topics that I love to explore and discuss.
These topics can be a fundamental part of a therapist’s practice when working with children and/or their parents/caregivers. So I thought I’d put together a list of all the free resources that I shared in the past year for you to have in one place.
