Is it possible to consider that the story we write about the experiences we are having are exactly that? Just a story?  And that it's possible to re-write that story?

What about the story we write about someone else's behaviors and our reaction to those behaviors?

This week's guest, Emily Daniels, MEd., MBA, NCC, SEP in Training, is the founder of HERE this NOW, a trauma-informed education and consulting firm dedicated to bringing trauma-informed education into schools.  She is the author of The Regulated Classroom, a guidebook for teachers to help them bring the science of regulation and the autonomic nervous system into their classroom, as well as the Educator Self-Care Toolkit, a collection of regulation hacks and sensory tools for educators.  

Emily's superpower is obviously bringing a relational approach to what can be pretty heavy science - polyvagal theory and the autonomic nervous system.  She's fun, relatable, and teaches the science in a way that makes sense and is actually useful and practical in real life.  

The Regulated Classroom is organized into four classroom practices:

• Connectors- Practices that cultivate relationships in the classroom
• Activators- Collective rhythm-making exercises grounded in the theory of regulating the brainstem
• Settles- Practices to calm the body’s stress response
• Affirmations- Practices that encourage reflection, compassion, and recognition for self a

Underneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system. When we support the body first, behavior often begins to shift. Even for kids who don't have a sensory processing disorder!
