Deep dives

Understanding Co-Regulation

Co-regulation is a dynamic process where individuals' nervous systems interact and influence each other. It involves attuning to another person's bodily signals, creating a sense of safety and grounding. This continuous interplay helps maintain emotional balance, with one person's calmness potentially aiding the other's dysregulated state. Emotional co-regulation plays a crucial role; for example, if one person is feeling intense emotions like grief or anger, a well-regulated counterpart can help them process these feelings and lower overall emotional distress.
