Description

With physical health, we know that if a bone breaks you cast it, keep it immobilized and give it time to heal properly.

But when it comes to mental health, it’s much more difficult for you and your clients to see the underlying issue and determine a path to healing!

As a clinician you need the most up-to-date understanding of how the brain functions and accessible treatment strategies to easily get your clients on board and see results fast.

That’s why neuroscience expert and author Dr. Sherrie All developed this brand new training to keep you at the forefront of this rapidly developing field. Dr. All has trained thousands of clinicians how to integrate neuroscience and Polyvagal Theory into their existing practice and will be your guide through the latest evidence-based, cutting-edge approaches.

When you take this comprehensive training you’ll get:

  • Neuroscience-informed strategies to improve self- and co-regulation
  • Best practice Polyvagal interventions to create calm
  • Science-backed strategies to help clients build stronger self-regulation
  • Improved outcomes for treating trauma, anxiety, substance abuse and more
  • Cutting-edge sensory interventions to increase felt safety
  • The latest ways neuroplasticity can improve client buy-in and engagement
  • And much more!

Turn the complexity of the brain into actionable insights and confidently incorporate these new neuroscience techniques into your practice!
