Client - “I can’t control my emotions yet, but I will”
🎶 MASSIVE WIN this week! 🎶
We LOVE serving families and celebrating real progress with our clients 🙌
This is another curriculum evidence-based intervention we use in sessions:
The Zones of Regulation (see pictured our one this week)
The Zones explained:
🔵 Blue - tired, sad, sick, low energy
🟢 Green - calm, regulated, ready to learn
🟡 Yellow - irritated, frustrated, worried
🔴 Red - mad/angry, hitting, out of control
How it works in therapy:
1️⃣ Identify the zone - noticing body and feelings
“I feel like pushing someone, I’m in the red zone 😡”
2️⃣ Pick a strategy - choosing tools to move back to Green
This under-9 client chose: stretching, meditating, humming/singing, sleep
We can also use movement breaks ⏲️ or ask for help 👋
3️⃣ Blue zone supports - music, a hug, drawing etc
4️⃣ Keep using strategies to calm the body and mind
5️⃣ Re-engage - once back in Green, learning can happen 📈
✨ The win:
This client is now better understanding his thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and using strategies independently.
Huge growth!
