Polyvagal-Informed Practices
Copyright :
Traditional psychotherapy can often leave clients knowing about their problems but unable to change them. Polyvagal Theory bridges that gap between knowing and changing. Whatever approaches you use, polyvagal-informed interventions can be woven into them. In this workshop, you'll learn how to help clients recognize their own dysregulation, take steps to cultivate a regulated ventral vagal state, and begin moving toward greater physiological balance and psychological wellness. You’ll discover how to:
- Quickly reduce anxiety, obsessive thinking, and feelings of hopelessness with somatic tools like yoga-based breath, movement, and awareness practices
- Recognize and track autonomic cues of stress and signs of safety and intervene appropriately
- Increase clients’ emotional and physiological resources through grounding and orientating techniques
- Teach clients vagus nerve stimulation techniques for enhancing nervous system health
