My mom just learned about poly relationships and furries this year. I know I’m going to be asked this next.

A lot of people are going to be asking this, now that Kirk’s killing appears to be right on right violence.

People are ridiculous having hollering fits at the bag agents at SeaTac because they can’t follow simple bag tag printing instructions.

Somatic and sensory coping strategies that help with my C-PTSD, Autism, OCD, and GAD reactions. I try to have some of these scheduled into my day and others on hand when I react.

Somatic Regulation Strategies

Playing instruments
Proprioception movement and rhythm and sound.

Heavy work
Working out or chores, lifting, pulling, crab walking.

Opposite sides
Clicking the finger of one hand whilst simultaneously blinking the eye on the other side of the body and then alternating

Bilateral scribbling to beat of music -
Having a crayon in both hands (2 different colours) and scribbling to music.

Dance to the music
Vestibular and propioception movement

Small progressive movements
Small movements gradually getting bigger:
wiggling toes- breathe through your nose- wiggle the feet- breathe through your nose- wiggle leg

Rocking Chair
Vestibular movement

Gently sitting and bouncing on trampoline or yoga
/ therapy ball
Vestibular movement

Somatic movement is mind-body movement that focuses on the internal experience of the movement rather than the appearance or outcome.
Supernova Parenting!

Progressive muscular relaxation (PMR)
Tensing and releasing different parts of the body, usually in a systematic way. Tensing on the in-breath and releasing on the out breath.
Research shows that the muscles are less tense following
PMR and the proprioceptive sites in the body give feedback to the brain that the body is calmer. It is also useful as it is tangible (the physical nature of tensing and releasing).

Jumping on a trampoline
Vestibular movement and proprioception rhythm

Throwing a yoga / therapy ball against a wall
Proprioception movement and rhymthm

Kicking or bouncing a ball
Proprioception movement and rhymthm

Shaking or stomping out excess energy
A natural discharge during fight, flight, freeze, fawn is the use of energy. Exercise reduces adrenaline and cortisol (stress hormones) and increases the feel-good endorphins.

Brisk walking / marching on the spot
Vestibular and proprioception movement

Star jumps
Start in a quarter squat position with your back flat, feet together, and palms touching the sides of your lower legs.
Jump up, raising your arms and legs out to your sides (your body should form an "X" in mid-air).
Land softly with your feet together and immediately lower yourself back into the starting position.

Large bilateral motor movements
Opening up the body, utilising both sides of the body helps to integrate the two sides of the brain. Consider crossing midline, using figure of 8 etc

Rolling over yoga / therapy ball
Proprioception movement

Sensory Regulation Strategies

Sensory Shaker
Vision, tactile.

Sensory Bin
External Senses. Sensory bin - an area where there are various sensory toys.

Sand, Slime, Playdough
Tactile. Proprioception. Vision

Hand Washing/ Water play
Tactile. Warm water can feel soothing . Warmth can reduce adrenaline and increase oxytocin

Massage
Touch/Tactile. Deep pressure stimulation of the body can increase the release of the feel good neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.

Grounding
Tactile, Vestibular. Feeling the soles of the feet on the floor or the body sat on a chair, noticing how the body is supported.

Finger Tracing
Tactile, Vision, Proprioception

Finger Painting
Tactile, Vision, Proprioception

Sensory Regulation Strategies
Our brain receives information about the world through the eight senses: Taste, Sight, Smell, Touch/Tactile, Auditory, Proprioception,
Vestibular, & Interception
Supernova Parenting

Drinking from a straw
This can aid attention and be soothing. This promotes one of the earliest forms of self-regulation - sucking on a finger or thumb (or breast-feeding).

Stress / squeeze balls
Touch and proprioception

Weighted blanket
Touch/Tactile. Deep pressure stimulation of the body can increase the release of the feel good neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.

Warm bath or shower
Touch/Tactile. Warm water can feel soothing. Warmth can reduce adrenaline and increase oxytocin

Listening to music
Auditory. Utilising the sense of hearing with rhythm can relax the mind and body. Can be used to accompany breath work, movement and / or PMR. Music could be graded from a higher tempo to lower tempo to gradually regulate. Audios of different sounds could be played. For example, some people like the sound of the sea, a stream, a crackling fire, birds, etc.

Capturing Sound
Auditory. Listening out for the different sounds in their environment, imagine having a net to catch each sound as they arise.

54321
External senses. Using the 5 main senses for bringing attention - 5 things they can see; 4 they can feel; 3 they can hear; 2 they can smell (or imagine) and 1 they can taste (or imagine).

Sensation Wall
Interception. A sensation wall is an area in the room with words that describe sensations of feelings. This can be helpful as language is difficult to access when dysregulated but a child could point to the sensation they feel in the body. Examples include empty, rattled, tense, jumpy, jittery, or knotted. Pictures can accompany this such as an empty plastic bottle, a rattle, a knotted rope. The 'language of the brain stem is sensation.

Chewy, crunchy food.
Tactile. Taste, proprioception

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
