The Power of Co-Regulation

Well, hello there. Let me start with a question: When you’re upset, do you feel like you have to manage your emotions all on your own? Do you white-knuckle through tough moments, telling yourself, “I’ve got this,” even when you’re hanging on by a thread?

We hear so much about emotional self-regulation, but not enough about co-regulation. And that, my friends, is where the magic happens. Because the truth is, we were never meant to regulate alone.

Prefer the audio? Listen here.

Why We Heal Better Together

Your nervous system wasn’t built for hyper-independence. It’s not designed to heal in isolation. From the time we’re born, we rely on others to soothe us, hold us, and tell us it’s okay to feel whatever we’re feeling. That need doesn’t vanish just because we grow up.

Here’s a grounding you can do right now. To experience it virtually with me, head over to the podcast or YouTube episode where I guide you through it live. Otherwise, keep reading for a short version you can try right here.

Close your eyesTake a deep breath in through your nose… and let it out slowly through your mouth.Drop your attention inward. Ask yourself, “How does my body feel right now?” Don’t judge-just notice.Tune into your senses.What do you hear, right now, in this space?Can you imagine what the room looks like with your eyes closed?Is there a taste in your mouth you can identify?What’s the temperature of the air?Is the surface you’re sitting or lying on hard or soft?

These small check-ins bring you back to the present moment. That’s grounding. And when we do it together, it becomes co-regulation. Even through a podcast, even virtually, we connected, and your nervous system felt it.

This, right here, is the beginning of co-regulation.

What Co-Regulation Looks Like

Co-regulation is when someone else’s calm helps you find your own. It’s not about fixing. It’s about being felt. It’s when someone sits with you and simply witnesses your experience with compassion. It’s when a group takes a deep breath together before diving into something heavy. It’s when your partner says, “I’ve got you,” without trying to make the feelings go away.

In my marriage with Vic, we have a rule: only one of us gets to lose it at a time. When I’m spinning out, Vic grounds, he doesn’t jump on my fear train. He stays calm and says, “It could all work out, Ter.” And that simple presence? That’s co-regulation.

The Cost of Going It Alone

Let me speak directly to my high-functioning codependents out there, those of us who pride ourselves on being self-sufficient to a fault. We’ve been taught that needing people makes us weak. But strength without support isn’t resilience. It’s survival mode.

Hyper-independence might feel noble, but it’s exhausting. Journaling through your trauma in isolation, meditating in a vacuum, endlessly processing your feelings alone, it’s too much. Even joy starts to lose its shine when you have no one to share it with.

Healing Is Biological

Dr. Stephen Porges, the brilliant mind behind polyvagal theory, says, “The way we feel safe is through connections with others.” That hit me right in the gut. I literally choked up recording the podcast. Because I get it. I’m the youngest of four girls, and connection is everything to me.

And while not everyone needs as many people as I do, we all need someone. Someone who can hold the space. Someone who doesn’t try to fix you but instead says, “I see you. I’m here.”

Real-Life Co-Regulation

Sometimes co-regulation happens in the smallest, most unexpected ways. It’s the friend who texts “thinking of you” on a hard day. It’s the coworker who silently slides over a cup of tea when you look frazzled. It’s the moment a stranger offers a knowing smile, and somehow your shoulders drop without you even realizing it. These examples might seem simple, but they communicate something deeply primal-you’re not alone. Your nervous system recognizes that signal and begins to soften, to settle. And in that softness, real healing begins.

When I started running my boundary course years ago, I wasn’t sure if what worked in one-on-one therapy would work in a group. Spoiler alert: it worked even better. Why? Because of co-regulation. The group became a sacred container, a space where everyone could be seen, heard, and supported.

We ground together at the start of every session. We witness each other without judgment. We celebrate small wins, grieve losses, and sit in silence when needed. That shared experience, that unified field of support? That is what heals.

Micro-Moments of Medicine

Healing doesn’t require grand gestures. It lives in micro-moments:

When someone mirrors your truth without flinching.When a win is met with celebration, not comparison.When a friend asks, “How can I support you right now?”When your shoulders drop because you feel seen.

These aren’t emotional luxuries. These are biological necessities. Medicine for your nervous system.

Practical Ways to Invite Co-RegulationStart with Grounding: Use your senses. Feel your body. Breathe.Be the Steady Presence: Hold calm when others can’t.Find Your Community: Spaces like the Terri Cole Membership offer real-time co-regulation.Ask for What You Need: It’s not weakness. It’s strength.Witness, Don’t Fix: Compassion is more powerful than advice.This Is Your Invitation

You don’t have to keep doing it all alone. If your body has been whispering, “I need safe people,” listen. There is space for you. You can borrow someone else’s calm when yours is shaky. You can hold hope for someone else until they can reach it.

Inside the Terri Cole Membership, we practice this every week. We ground together. We celebrate together. We heal together.

Your nervous system deserves rest. Your spirit deserves community. Your healing deserves to be witnessed.

So join us. Let yourself be seen. Be held. Be human. And be celebrated!

Because healing is not a solo job, and you, my friend, were never meant to do it alone.

“It’s more about being felt than being fixed.” – Terri Cole

Intro

When you are upset, do you feel like you have to manage your emotions on your own? Maybe you don’t need to! These days, emotional self-regulation and co-regulation are hot topics. In today’s episode, I’m gonna be breaking down what these terms really mean and taking a stand for the fact that we were really never meant to regulate alone. 

It’s such a powerful process to be with other people and have the ability to co-regulate. Listen to today’s episode for examples of what that looks like and how you can do it more in your own life.

The Quiet Revolution of Small Wins: Why Your Tiny Victories Are Actually Life-Changing

Are you only as good as your last huge accomplishment?

I want you to pause for a moment and think about how you measure your worth. Do you find yourself in that relentless cycle of head-down, go-go-go energy, telling yourself you’ll celebrate when you get the big thing done? When you land the promotion, finish the project, and reach the milestone that feels worthy enough of your attention?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re also missing out on something profound.

Prefer the audio? Listen here.

The Science of Celebration (It’s Not What You Think)

Here’s what I’ve learned after decades of working with clients and, honestly, wrestling with this in my own life: those tiny moments you’re rushing past? They’re not just nice-to-haves. They’re the actual building blocks of lasting change.

Harvard researchers have found that celebrating small wins triggers dopamine, your brain’s natural reward system. But here’s the beautiful part: that dopamine hit doesn’t just feel good in the moment. It literally rewires your brain to crave more progress, more growth, more of the person you’re becoming.

Think about it like this: every time you pause to acknowledge a small victory, you’re not just patting yourself on the back. You’re teaching your nervous system that forward movement is safe, that you can trust yourself to keep going, that you are someone who follows through.

What Actually Counts as a Win

Let me tell you what I celebrated this week: I completed a 54-minute advanced interval workout with heavy weights and a trampoline. I told myself, “You’re going to do this, no stopping,” and I did it.

Now, you might be thinking, “Terri, that’s not so small!” And you’d be right. But here’s what I’m really celebrating: the moment I decided to trust myself enough to try something that felt a little scary.

Your wins might look completely different, and they’re all valid:

You set a boundary without apologizingYou took an actual lunch break instead of eating standing up by the fridgeYou spoke up even though your heart was racingYou listened to what you needed and honored it

Can you see how these aren’t really small at all? Setting a boundary without apologizing, do you know how much courage that takes? How much it changes your life when you start doing it consistently?

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Here’s where it gets tricky. I see this with my therapy clients all the time, and I catch myself doing it too: we qualify our wins before we even fully feel them.

“Yes, I finished that chapter, but I still have so much more to write.” “I spoke up in the meeting, but it wasn’t as articulate as I wanted.” “I went to the gym, but I didn’t work out as hard as I should have.”

Listen, love. I get it. You’re not going to forget about the bigger picture. You’re not suddenly going to become complacent because you acknowledged something you did well. But what you are doing is training yourself to never be satisfied, to never feel worthy of your own appreciation.

The Depression Factor

If you’ve ever struggled with depression (and many of us have), you know that getting out of bed can feel impossible on some days. Taking a shower becomes an act of self-love. Making one phone call you’ve been avoiding becomes monumental.

These aren’t “small” wins for someone climbing out of that dark place. They’re evidence of your incredible resilience, proof that you’re stronger than you know.

Your Identity in Motion

Here’s something James Clear said that stopped me in my tracks: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”

Every. Single. Action.

When you speak your truth, you become someone who values their voice. When you rest without guilt, you become someone who honors your needs. When you celebrate your progress, you become someone who recognizes your own worth.

You’re not broken and waiting to be fixed. You’re not incomplete, rushing toward some finish line where you’ll finally be enough. You’re evolving, moment by moment, choice by choice, small win by small win.

Making It a Practice

You don’t need confetti or champagne (though honestly, break out the champagne if that feels good). Start simple:

Keep a running list of weekly wins in your phone. Share them with someone who celebrates you back. Pair your reflection with something that feels nourishing: a walk, a cup of tea, a few minutes of just breathing.

The magic happens when you make this muscle memory. Each time you notice a win, it becomes easier to spot the next one. You start living from a place of abundance rather than scarcity, focusing on what’s working rather than what’s missing.

The Micro Moments Are the Big Moments

So much of this life isn’t about the peak experiences or the loud milestones. It’s about the quieter choices you make every single day. The boundary you hold. The truth you speak. The rest you take without guilt. The way you return to your intention again and again.

These are the moments that actually matter. These are the moments that shape who you’re becoming.

A Gentle Invitation

This week, I’m inviting you to pause. To reflect. To celebrate whatever your wins look like, however small they might seem to that critical voice in your head.

You are worthy of your own recognition. You are worthy of celebration. You are worthy of the kindness you so freely give to everyone else.

The micro moments are building something beautiful. Trust the process. Trust yourself.

And remember: you are inherently worthy, exactly as you are, right now in this moment.

What’s one win you had this week? I’m genuinely curious, and I’m already celebrating you for it.

A Place to Be Celebrated

If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to practice honoring your growth instead of just your hustle, I’d love to invite you into the Terri Cole Membership.

Inside, we end every week by celebrating our small wins together. We witness each other, hold space for one another, and create consistent rituals of support.

You don’t have to do this alone.
And you don’t have to wait until you’re “ready” to be seen.

Come exactly as you are.
Your progress — messy, beautiful, and real — is already worth celebrating.
