The Youth Room - A uniquely designed counselling space combining a diverse range of stimuli with invitations to explore, engage and further develop your senses. This room includes specialized lighting, unique colour combinations, musical items/sounds, soft sensory items and aromas all contained within a safe and fun environment that invites each person to explore and connect to their senses during talk therapy by using a host of sensory modalities at your disposal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1571848778879-BUXRS5K9FL34GGSI04J6/image-asset.jpeg Compass Youth Project - The Youth Room - THE YOUTH ROOM Child and Youth Counselling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1571778422709-7KU5CJ1OQV7S3R4SX1WU/image-asset.jpeg Compass Youth Project - The Youth Room - Counselling Using Sensory As children, we experience the world through our senses - the feel of soft fabric against your skin, the smell of cookies baking in the oven, the sound of chimes blowing in the breeze, the muscle control required to throw or catch a ball. We typically learn and develop these core skills of understanding, processing and reacting to information given from our senses during childhood and adolescence which formulates the way in which we respond to the world, well into adulthood. Most of us have occasional challenges processing sensory but may not recognize the origin or its impact on how we relate and interpret information received. Particularly in respect to trauma, the body responds to sensory input with biological reactions that can impact sensory processing and the manner in which memories are encrypted and stored. Trauma experience can create heightened sensory awareness to environmental stimuli, which might otherwise have gone unnoticed and can become powerfully imprinted upon us inappropriately as associations of the traumatic event.This is particularily evident as the heightened arousal response becomes intrusive in one’s life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1571777755717-7TCRRHJ1JKU2FHQD1PLM/fullsizeoutput_1244.jpeg Compass Youth Project - The Youth Room - What is Sensory? Rolling down a hill, swimming, climbing a tree, sifting sand and petting a dog or a cat are all sensory activities. Each of us have preferences for certain sensory activities. We use them to get excited, have fun, relax or otherwise change our mood. Why is there this interaction between our senses, the world, and our inner life? We believe after years of research that each of us are attracted to different types of sensory input. It may be based in part on our experiences and in part some of it may be biologically driven - as families often share similar tastes in sensory experience. We do know that while there is plenty of overlap each person is individually tuned in to certain sensory channels. Some people are more into textures, others are more affected by what we see or hear. Other sensory modalities involve kinesthetic sensation (spinning, jumping, rolling or climbing), wet, hot, cold, or gooey, smooth, deep pressure, knobbly, simple or complex shapes, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1564511405003-VESI29GYH675AVAAIXQO/fullsizeoutput_1274.jpeg Compass Youth Project - The Youth Room - Copy of JEN CARTER CHILD AND YOUTH COUNSELLOR https://www.thecompassrose.ca/counselling-faq daily 0.75 2023-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1564002612367-83QIURISON0FD4CRSIRW/image-asset.jpeg Counselling FAQ - The Compass Rose is here to help… -Helping individuals, couples and families get their “bearings” and find peace and direction in life. https://www.thecompassrose.ca/faq-2 daily 0.75 2022-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1565893349806-BCBH4WIT1X71LIWU5E2J/image-asset.jpeg FAQ - Counselling FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1e7d2cc3c16a594f8bdfe4/1564512651946-SLJPZXNGFBC2WDANZE6K/fullsizeoutput_124d.jpeg FAQ THE COMPASS ROSE HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTRE https://www.thecompassrose.ca/contact-3 daily 0.75 2024-07-29
