Reconnect & Regulate 8 Week Program
What Does It Mean to Reconnect & Regulate? It means returning to yourself. It’s the process of gently coming back into your body, your emotions, your relationships, and your truth after trauma or chronic stress has pulled you away.
It’s about rebuilding a sense of safety within, so that your nervous system no longer has to live in survival mode. It’s about becoming present, grounded, and open to connection—first with yourself, then with others.
When we are dysregulated, life feels chaotic or numb—like we’re either constantly on edge, shut down, or stuck in patterns we can’t explain. Regulation isn’t about perfection—it’s about knowing what’s happening inside us, and having the tools, support, and self-awareness to respond rather than react.
What The Program Looks Like
Week 1. Creating Safety
We lay the foundation for the whole journey by exploring the nervous system, trauma responses, and the importance of inner safety. We track emotional states and support self-awareness. nurture self-worth and create a sense of internal reassurance
Week 2. Congruence
This week is about aligning our inner truth with our outer expression. We discuss how allowing ourselves to be real opens the door to connection, the quiet ways we shut down to stay safe & more.
Week 3. Persona
We look at the masks we wear and why we wear them.
This week is about compassionately uncovering survival strategies like people-pleasing, avoidance, or perfectionism.
Week 4. Attunement
This week deepens self-awareness and empathy—both toward ourselves and others. How our life experiences shape how we interpret the world. Understanding disconnection and miscommunication. Not just symptoms, but as adaptations we can now begin to rewire
Week 5. Communication
Tying together what we've learned so far by reflecting on how our nervous system state, trauma responses, and perception shape communication. body language, tone, facial expressions and Neuroception—how we unconsciously detect safety or threat in others.
Week 6. Flow
This week invites us to move beyond the mind and into the body. We explore how trauma lives in the nervous system and the physical body—and how healing must include movement, breath, and energy awareness. Introduction to Qigong, EFT & Somatic Awareness.
Week 7. Permission
This session focused on reclaiming our right to take up space, say no, and receive joy. Hypervigilance; how it keeps us stuck in survival mode, Boundaries as a form of self-respect, not rejection. Giving ourselves permission—to rest, to speak up, to be seen, and to thrive.
Week 8. Connection
A space to reflect, honour the journey, and recognise how much has shifted. Exploring the idea that regulation is a practice, not a destination—& that the ability to return to self, again & again, is the true power of this work. We celebrate the courage it takes to reconnect. Healing doesn't mean we never get triggered—it means we know how to come home to ourselves when we do.
