We have explored 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 with an easy way to think about, communicate around, and care for our feelings. 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.
Zones of Regulation Key Principles:
Zones are based on feelings, not behaviors.
All the Zones are okay.
Our experience of The Zones is unique.
The Zones of Regulation is not a compliance-based model.
The Green Zone is not the goal.
