In-person workshop for adults on how an overwhelmed nervous system affects children and how to support them back to safety.
Sam Lewis Therapy is running a workshop called Finding Safety at Acorn House on Thursday 19 November, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm, with doors open from 6:15 pm. It's part of the Parenting Beneath Behaviour series, and the whole session runs for two and a half hours.
The evening looks at how an overwhelmed nervous system affects a child, what safety actually looks like in practice, and how to support a child back towards regulation. It's a practical look at the early signs of dysregulation — the things that show up in the body, in thoughts, and in behaviour — and offers ways of supporting a child through connection, grounding, and a calmer understanding of what's happening. If you've ever wondered why a child's reaction seems so out of proportion to the situation, this is exactly the kind of thing that helps make sense of it.
It's an in-person workshop for adults only, and they're keeping the group small, with no more than eight participants. That means it's more of a conversation than a lecture, with room to ask questions and talk things through rather than just listening from the back of a room. If you're used to larger sessions, the small group size changes the feel of it — it's a quieter, more focused space to work through these ideas.
