The ability to meet the challenges of everyday life is a marker of well-being and is dependent on the autonomic nervous system. Our nervous systems shape the way we navigate living, loving, and working. Polyvagal Theory, through the organising principles of hierarchy, neuroception, and co-regulation, has revolutionised our understanding of how this system works.

States and Stories

We are by nature storytellers and it is through our autonomic nervous systems that we first create, and then inhabit, the stories that guide our daily living. As our biology changes, so do our stories. In this session participants will explore the emergent qualities of states and bring attention to the different experiences each state brings to life through the practice of autonomic listening and creating autonomic landscapes.

Broadcasting and Receiving

Our biology comes with a built in safety circuit – a sending and receiving system that is continuously inviting or discouraging connection and looking for signs of welcome or warning. Through neuroception and the social engagement system our nervous systems work to balance the drive to survive and the need for connection. In this session participants will practice tracking cues of safety and danger and explore ways to use the individual elements of the social engagement system to create the conditions that support connection.

Shaping New Pathways

The ability to flexibly move between states is a sign of well-being. It is when we are caught in dysregulation, unable to find our way back to regulation that we feel physical and psychological distress. When we attend to micro-moments of safety, we begin to move away from patterns of protection and travel pathways of connection.

In this session participants will engage in glimmer and savoring practices that bring awareness to moments of ventral regulation and explore ways to help clients anchor autonomic regulation.
