Relational Regulation Skills (self-regulation) with Mike Thomas

Using the principles of “attachment as a regulation theory,” and the trauma-informed science of polyvagal theory, this class offers practical tools for self-regulation and co-regulation to improve individual and relational experiences. From learning how to read our own body language and shift our own state as needed for optimum receptivity and love, to reading the body language of and supporting our partners through feeling into their experience and support shifting their state, this class teaches the aikido of relationship. Through deepening awareness of our relational field, this class runs the gambit of tools for enriching the quality of your relationships with others as well as yourself. Using the tools of NVC (“Nonviolent Communication”), breathing, matching/mirroring body language, and integrating your nervous systems together, expect to leave this class with a deepened capacity to love, communicate, enrich your bond, connect with and understand one another.
