In sessions with students and clients, I talk a lot about regulation.
But regulation without capacity building becomes dependency.
If a client can only feel safe with you…they're still building resilience—they borrow our regulation, but we need to be careful about whether we’ve built proximity-based regulation.
How are you helping clients regulate? What is a specific tool you teach? How do you assist clients in expanding their nervous system’s capacity to hold activation without dependence, collapse or avoidance?
