🙏🏻🌹💫Trust the Process! 🌹💫🙏🏻

🧩✨ Talk about a profound moment of alignment and tracking the data!🌹💫

💫 Yesterday, an Occupational Therapist left a beautiful comment on my post about completing the first chapter of my book, "Can't wait to read it!"

✨ Further inspired by that connection, I spent the late hours diving deep into the archives I have been saving over the past 30 years.

😲 Lo and behold, I unearthed an official NHS Occupational Therapy report for Farrah that had been tucked away!

💫🌹 When I looked down at the signature date, my jaw dropped. It was signed on the 2nd of September 2004. Exactly 20 years ago tomorrow. 🕒📜

🧐 Reading it today through the lens of my training in RMTi and neurodevelopmental movement, the official clinical pen has completely verified what my maternal intuition believed all along! 🥰

🕰️Twenty years ago, the specialists explicitly documented the exact unintegrated primitive reflex locks —like the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR)—that prove her nervous system was operating in a protective survival "Safe Mode" from her earliest weeks of life [Sandin et al., 2024; Sohn et al., 2011].

💃💫 To celebrate this full-circle moment, I have officially polished and put back on my silver "missing piece of the puzzle" anchor necklace, which has sat in its box for years.

😶‍🌫️ The fog has cleared, the routine is back, the science is watertight, and the timing is absolutely perfect.

📖 Chapter 1 is sealed, and Chapter 2 is officially underway! 🌟🌈🔬

🌹💫 Reminding me to ‘Trust the Process!’🙏🏻

✨An Introduction to one important part of My Work: Balancing the Nervous System

✨Hello and welcome! If you are new to my page, or if we haven’t connected in a while, I wanted to introduce myself and share exactly how I support the parents, autistic children and adults I work with…

✨My name is Caroline Seyedi, and my work at Coping with Autism - AS IT IS is focused on helping autistic children and adults and their parents find their voice, physical comfort, emotional grounding, and sensory regulation.🧩

🧐Understanding the "Invisible" Stressor at the root of behaviour we see😵‍💫

🌈✨Many of the challenges associated with autism—like constant anxiety, challenges with speaking, intense sensory overload, fidgeting, food intolerances, repetitive restricted interests and behaviours or coordination struggles—go much deeper than behavioral patterns that represent them. These behaviours are the results of complex systems of development and are often rooted in retained primitive reflexes.

🌈🤔What are primitive reflexes?

These are automatic infant movements designed for survival that should naturally integrate as we develop and grow.

🧐Retained primitive reflexes in autistic individuals are linked to higher rates of emotional and behavioral challenges, according to research in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

🧐Clinical trials, including findings in Cureus, show that structured reflex integration movements significantly improve sensory processing, motor skills, and emotional regulation [1, 2].

🌈🧐💫These findings support the use of Rhythmic Movement Training to calm the nervous system and foster physical, emotional, and social well-being.

🌈🤔How I Can Help You?

My approach is not about trying to "fix" or change autism and other neurodiversity diagnoses. It is about calming an overloaded nervous system so daily life feels safer and easier.

🌈☺️Using Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT), I guide individuals and families through gentle, non-invasive, rhythmic physical movements to support integrating the retained primitive reflexes.

🌈✨These movements work directly with the brain and body to:

📉 Lower chronic anxiety and emotional meltdowns
🧘 Improve sensory processing and physical coordination
💤 Support better sleep, focus, and overall well-being
🗣️support the facilitation of verbal communication.

🌱 Let’s Connect

✨Whether you are a parent searching for gentle ways to support your child, or an adult looking to understand your own body better, you don't have to navigate this alone.

✨To learn more about primitive reflex integration and how we can work together, visit my website or drop me a message right here. I would love to support your journey.
