Parent Just Right State Sensory Attachment Program - June 2024 - Our parents have been exploring what it means for all communication and experiences to be sensory, leading to emotional stimuli and behaviour. Hearing about survival strategies children with complex trauma experienced in utero and early infancy have wired the neuropathways of the nervous system.
Hearing the hormone, biological changes within the body and how high levels of cortisol impacts on connection. We learnt that nurture can increase endorphins and oxytocin in the body that can counteract cortisol. Nurture needs to start with the parents own nurture of self and asking for help from those around.
Interestingly, we'd like to share with you the vital foods that are responsible for regulation, mood, appetite and sleep. Protein is a 'building block food' to increasing serotonin found in foods like Turkey, cheese, milk. Calcium and magnesium, vitamin D also aid the increase serotonin.

Parent Testimonies from the above program:
'our daughter was given a long hot water bottle, she hasn't settled or slept for months. This night, she went straight to sleep and has slept for one week'. Adoptive Parents.
'I realise that I need to stop having solutions and try to stop to sit alongside my child and see what they are trying to communicate'.

Sensory Attachment Intervention Sensory Attachment Intervention (SAI) was developed in recognition that trauma influences the way individuals process sensory information and how they relate to others i.e. they organise around danger. Need to consider what are the core fears; Sensory - fear of sensation, or fear arising from the incapacity to organise sensation for use, Attachment - fear of rejection, fear of separation. Sensory Attachment Intervention is an integrative treatment approach for children, young people, and adults who have experienced trauma and abuse.
• The focus of therapy to enable the process of self-regulation and co-regulation by embedding regulation in daily living.
• It primarily draws from the Theories of Ayres’ Sensory Integration, Crittenden’s Dynamic Maturation Model of Attachment, Developmental Trauma, and Porges’ Polyvagal Theory.
• SAI - Focuses on enabling self regulation & co-regulation.
• Two Key Relationships; Relationship with others in particular attachment figures, Relationship with the Environment. Sensory Attachment Intervention
• All information is sensory.
• Sensory processing generates representations of attachment relationships, of the physical self (body scheme) and of the physical environment.
• Perception of sensory and attachment experiences disposes the individual to behave in a particular way, and to adopt strategic behaviours for the purposes of engaging with others and with the environment (home, school, work place, leisure).
• What is the intention/function of the behaviour? Intervention looks beyond behaviours.
Level 1 Autonomic Nervous System activation/ Regulation Level 2 Modulation
Level 3 Interpretation
Level 4 Organisation
Children and adults are assisted to explore their 'Just Right State' sensations and thus explore how they impact on perceptions, thoughts. Via use of exercises on an exercise ball, food and games children are aided in exploration.
