Becoming Regulated — Working with your own nervous system to bring change into focus
Proposed Presentation Blurb: As birth workers, we're wired to show up for others but what happens to our own nervous system in the process? In this 90-minute workshop we'll explore where our nervous systems actually go under pressure, into fight, flight, fawn and freeze and what they need to find their way back. Because when we can hold our own centre, we become genuinely capable of holding the families in our care and of being the change we want to see in birth.
