Self-regulation techniques training in Barranquilla, Colombia

What is self-regulation?

It is the ability to recognize and manage your own emotions, impulses and arousal so you can respond appropriately to each situation. It is not about not feeling, but about keeping emotions from taking control of what you do.

Which techniques are taught?

Identifying and naming emotions and body signals, slow diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness, pausing before reacting and strategies to reinterpret a situation. With children, games, stories and visual supports are used.

Who is it useful for?

Children with intense tantrums or impulsivity, children and adults with ADHD or autism, people with anxiety, anger outbursts or stress, and anyone who often feels overwhelmed by emotions.

How do you make it work?

With daily practice, first in calm moments and then in difficult situations. With children, when parents learn and model the same techniques at home, results multiply.
