Resolve - Trauma Informed Birth Processing
RECALIBRATE & REGULATE
We use neuropsychology models both bottom up and top down approaches along with the HeartMath tool measuring heart rate variability and coherence to create a new physiological baseline for the nervous system. Follow your body's signals and responses to build resilience and capacity for emotional regulation following trauma.
Regular practice of techniques for emotional and physiological regulation widens the “Window of Tolerance.”
REVISIT- Birth Story Journaling
Writing about your birth story is a powerful way to heal. You are owning your story, rather than your story owning you. You will get guidance and suggestions as you find the words transforming into self-love and compassion.
RELEASE- Mindfulness and Grounding
Using a wide variety of evidence based relaxation and visualization mindfulness tools can help find inner peace and relaxation while helping to release that which does not serve you. These are incorporated into your journey.
RESTORE & RESET
Resetting your dysregulated nervous system with breathing and restorative exercises can help slow your heartrate allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to activate and calm your body’s stress response, making the mind relax and the body feel safe. Calming your whole system reassures the mind and body that you are safe and well in the here and now. When we learn to reframe our cognitive and behavioral responses, regulate our nervous systems, and restore balance to our brain chemistry, we can move away from a state of crisis and break free from the cycle, reducing residual trauma and and leading to resiliency and RESOLVE.
The result of the body, heart, and mind working together is a production of an exchange of energy and information, which in turn, fosters mental health. The human biological system is naturally resilient and our biological system thrives in securely attached social bonds.
