hi i'm john richardson-love director of
mental health and lead trauma and
resilience educator here at child savers
i want to share with you a way to think
about our brains and understand our
brains particularly when they're going
through times of stress and sometimes
trauma too this comes from bruce perry
who's a physician who has written a
number of different books most recently
with oprah winfrey the book called what
happened to you he also created
something called the neurosequential
model of therapeutics that sounds pretty
fancy but in the nmt model he created
this idea that helped us understand how
our brain functions brain states and if
we don't understand people's brain state
it's hard to understand how we can
interact with them and help them be
successful the first and most basic
fundamental brain state that people have
is their need to real to regulate and
our regulating need is regulating our
survival response when someone's not
well regulated in this basic fundamental
brain state they're going to be in their
survival response that might be their
fight their flight their freeze that
kind of of basic animalistic response to
the world around them because it's
focused on survival and if i don't feel
safe if i'm not well regulated then i'm
going to have a hard time being
successful and doing anything else once
we help people be well regulated we need
to help them feel related to feel
connected with the world with other
individuals so that they don't feel
alone in the world because when
somebody's not related someone is not
connected to other people oftentimes bad
things happen and then the third brain
state and the highest level of brain
state is reasoning and that reason is
our ability to reason to learn to
process to think to plan to
operationalize to regulate and
self-regulate all those kind of skills
that we really need in that reasoning
state and that reasoning brain state is
where we want people to be 90 if not 100
of their lives but sometimes they're not
we understand these brain states we can
understand how we can support them
because when someone is in this need for
regulation then i'm going to approach
that individual with helping them
regulate which might be about play it
might be about movement it might be
about music it might be about giving
them food and rest it might be about
just giving them time to to be peaceful
a peaceful quiet space and we need to
understand that because if someone's in
that need for regulating then i'm not
going to be able to help them and
connect with them in a relationship if
they are well regulated then i can work
on that reasoning brain state and when
we're working in the reasoning brain say
that's when i can use my body language
my voice tone my empathy my compassion
um the words that i have and my
relationship in general to help them
understand that they're not alone in the
world to help them feel connected and
it's only after they feel safe and they
feel connected that we can be in that
highest level of brain state that
learning brain state that
reasoning brain state so that we can
help people to do all those things that
they need to do once they're there
they're golden and we want to help keep
them there and maintain their presence
there understanding people's brain
states is essential to this
interpersonal communication to helping
anyone whether adult or child to be
successful in the world and to have good
positive interventions with them and
remember behavior communicates the brain
state i hope this helps you understand
the people around you that you serve
that you work with particularly the
children in your lives as we help them
walk through those critical moments
and we have the gift to be in being able
to spend time with them and help them be
successful thanks for listening
