THE WAVE RESET

Your post-meltdown recovery plan

The WAVE Reset is a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming tool designed to support emotional recovery and nervous system re-regulation after moments of overwhelm, meltdown, or shutdown.

This printable workbook offers a practical, compassionate structure for helping clients, students, or parents return to the present moment after acute dysregulation. Grounded in somatic principles, it guides users through four steps—Wake, Align, Vent, Exhale—each with reflection prompts and simple sensory-based activities that can be easily customized for individual needs.
