In this video Carrie shares her journey through the Resilience Program (next cohort starting soon!), from the not so daunting science of Self-Reg to its application day to day with her students.

Sometimes, in the middle of a busy day, we don’t need more information. We need something that helps us reconnect
Start with the core ideas, then follow the path that matches what you want to understand next.
Understand the full picture of stress. Explore biological, emotion, cognitive, social, and prosocial stress, and how stresses across the Five Domains interact.
Explore the science beneath what we see and experience. Go deeper into stress and energy, brain-body states, self-regulation and self-control, behaviour, co-regulation, and resilience.
Put the Self-Reg lens into practice. Explore the Five Steps: Reframe, Recognize, Reduce, Reflect, and Restore, and how they create a pathway for understanding stress and finding restoration.
Learn about applied Self-Reg in practice. Explore Energy-Centred Teaching, Self-Reg Havens, and the Self-Reg Journeys for applied Self-Reg

Hi Carrie, it was great to be in the cohort with you for this great course!! Your blog is a testimony to how beautifully you’ve come to understand, articulate, embody and apply the lessons of the course.
I’m touched by your open discussion about being initially intimidated by the science and agree that Stuart and Susan have a beautifully down-to-earth, personal and personable way of making even the most complex and even mind-boggling science accessible, fascinating and even fun.
I look forward to sharing further courses with you! Good luck in the new school year!

Thanks for your comment, Linda! You made me think about my own experience with one of the courses and making sense of the science. Can you share how this course supported you in better understanding the science? I would love to hear more.
