The Self-Reg Journey by Samantha Yarde

The Self-Reg Journey

 If you reframe behaviour as stress behaviour,
 Whether that of a child, adult or teenager,
 If you recognize stressors across the five domains,
 Even when they seem impossible to explain,
 If you reduce those stressors,
 To help alleviate some of the pressure,
 If you reflect by enhancing stress awareness in yourself and in others,
 Maybe a brother, sister, a child, father or mother,
 If you respond by developing personalized strategies,
 To promote resilience and restoration,
 You, my friend,
 Are on a Self-Reg journey!
