Creating space between stimulus and response

---

Creating space between the stimulus & our response.

This was the overarching aim for the Becoming Nervous System, Trauma & Neurodivergent Informed training I delivered at Chalice Well Trust in Glastonbury.

In the space between stimulus & response, according to Victor Frankl, is our GROWTH & FREEDOM.

In the space there is a CHOICE ...

to react or to respond
to repeat or to repair
to be unconscious or conscious

to be extractive & dominating or reciprocal & relational
to move from I to we
to consider logic AND emotions & sensations

to choose who we want to be as a collective
to be humane & humanitarian & value diversity
to tend to our survival responses & regulation

Becoming a Nervous System, Trauma & Neurodivergent Informed organisation means ...

CHOOSING - to become educated about:
bodymind & it's diversity
the nervous system & how bodies respond to stressors
how to create space between stimulus & response

ENGAGING - individually & organisationally:
in space creating practices, resourcing & engaging in change-agency & evolution

EMBODYING - individually & as leaders:
regulation, co regulation & conscious, holistic, responsive relating.
