Join expert clinician Deb Dana, LCSW in this online CPD workshop to fully learn the theory and the practice of integrating the basics of Polyvagal Theory into your clinical work.
In times of crisis, our clients may want to anchor in an autonomic state of calmness and social engagement. But our physiological state, emotions, and nervous state can override our capacity to be calm and we often mobilise into sympathetic fight and flight, anger and anxiety, or dorsal despair, disconnection, and collapse.
This pervasive threat may destabilise our nervous systems and limit our capacity to provide the cues to our clients consistent with our benevolent intentions to connect, support, and be present.
Now you can learn the science that explains how social behaviour turns off defences and promotes feeling safe – critical in the world of treating trauma and other symptoms – and how to inform your practice with this latest, and most respected, science.
Applying a Polyvagal perspective to our therapeutic strategies that witness and expand the capacity to feel safe - and use social behaviour to regulate the physiological state - can be effective in treating psychological issues that are dependent on defence systems.
This online program is worth 6 hours CPD.
