Thank you to everyone who joined us for "Self-Regulation: An Individualized Experience" this morning.

Ashley Lewis, licensed clinical social worker and vice president of Operations at Family Counseling Service of the Finger Lakes, Inc., led the interactive workshop, which included information on our individual windows of tolerance, self-compassion, responding vs. reacting, among other topics.

She also provided tools and techniques to help with self-regulation, including breathing and bilateral stimulation.

The workshop, while open to the public, was part of the Chamber's new Health and Wellness benefit. If you'd like more information about that benefit, email [email protected].
