Impacting Organizational Culture: Explaining the First 2 Ps

In this episode, Lauren dives into the first two of the 4 Ps—Practitioner and Patient—focusing on strategies to move organizations from a survival state into a healthier, more regulated space. She begins by explaining the 4 Ps (Policy, Practice, Practitioner, Patient) and how to identify their roles within an organization. Lauren connects these concepts to the Five Ives framework, highlighting how aligning the 4 Ps with its principles can create a more balanced environment.For the Practitioner, Lauren emphasizes the importance of equipping leaders with tools to recognize their own survival states and communicate their needs effectively. She shares practical regulation strategies like temperature exposure, music, and shock techniques to address overwhelm in the moment. Transitioning to the Patient, Lauren explores the power of co-regulation when supporting dysregulated individuals, offering actionable scripts and examples for building rapport. She also discusses ways to introduce regulation education into shared spaces, such as offices, waiting rooms, and classrooms, to foster a culture of calm and responsiveness.If you haven't already, check out Five Ives to see how strategies like this can be applied to adults, especially in the workplace.
