March Theme: Regulation
Last month we explored self-trust.
This month, we’re going one layer deeper.
Because your nervous system shapes your relationship with animals long before any technique does.
Before cues, corrections or training plans.
Animals respond to state first.
So in March inside Animals Make Us Human, we’re going to explore regulation in three different ways:
Call 1 - Cognitive: Understanding Regulation
- We’ll unpack what nervous system regulation actually means in real life.
- What co-regulation looks like.
- Why safety must come before behaviour change.
- And how small internal shifts can transform interactions.
This is about clarity and awareness.
Call 2 - Embodiment: Practising Regulation
- This will be a slower, more experiential session.
- We’ll practise simple grounding and settling exercises you can use before walks, handling, training or difficult conversations.
- Learning how to come back into your body first.
Call 3 - Reflection: What Changed?
At the end of the month, we’ll reflect.
- What did you notice?
- Did any interactions feel different when you slowed yourself down first?
Regulation isn’t a technique you add on: it is the foundation everything else rests on.
If this topic resonates, you’re very welcome to join us live or simply follow along at your own pace.
Because reading about regulation is one thing.
Experiencing what it feels like to create safety in real time, for you and your animal, is another.
