A felt sense of safety provides the foundation for regulation and the launchpad for stretching skills and capacities through engagement in playfulness, risk-taking, and opportunities for adaptive responses that foster development. The session will focus on understanding the sensory modulation and sensory discrimination mechanisms that inform sensory integrative processing and how they contribute to establishing an embodied sense of safety. As safety is conceptualized by our nervous system through co-regulation and sensation, we will explore relationally grounded sensory integration intervention. Information about specific sensory modalities and clinical reasoning regarding sensory modulation and sensory discrimination will be provided.
