Introducing The Zones of Regulation
In Concept 2 (C2), we explore the four Zones of Regulation and how they are used to categorize and identify the variety of feelings and energy states we all experience. Learning about The Zones of Regulation framework provides us an easy way to think about, talk about, and act on our feelings in order for us to regulate them. C2 is meant to be an introduction to the four Zones and to establish the common language that learners and leaders will use throughout the curriculum and daily life. Since every person experiences a wide range of feelings, we stress that all the Zones are okay and you should not attach judgement or shame to any one Zone.
