Social Resilience Model- SRM

Remember...this is based on science & teaches us skills that can be used (by anyone) to self-regulate – control how we respond to people and events rather than automatically react to them.

These skills can help us remain in our Resilient Zone or bounce back to it.

Sensory Tracking: Why is it so important?

To use the skills needed to remain in your R ZONE, you must first be aware of WHEN you need them. Noticing changes is the first step.

TRACKING means noticing what is happening in and around you, paying attention and making changes.

Tracking Ourselves

• ^{Paying attention to changes}

• Noticing what’s happening inside

• ^{Noticing what feels comfortable or uncomfortable} 

Tracking Others

• Noticing changes in another person’s presentation.

• Gently sharing observations with them & see what they notice inside.

“It takes approx. 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain– unless it’s done with play, in which case it takes between 10 and 20 repetitions.”

– Dr. Karyn Purvis

In your group

• Experience your clue 1 at a time

• Please track what others are expressing

• When it is your turn, what do you notice?

• Think about a time you experienced this item & tell the story

• What do you notice?

In conclusion...what do you notice now?
