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.
READ MORE...We now know that trauma interrupts the development of autonomic regulation and sidetracks building the circuitry of safe connection. Without intervention, adaptive survival responses become habitual autonomic patterns and pathways of connection are replaced with patterns of protection.
Working with the autonomic nervous system brings the science of safety into practical application with ways to help clients identify and interrupt their familiar response patterns and strategies to shape their systems toward connection. When we partner with the nervous system, we can reliably guide clients into the autonomically regulated state of safety that is necessary for successful treatment.
Through didactic teaching and experiential practices, participants will explore how to use the body’s regulating circuits to help clients regain a sense of safety and skills to engage the nervous system’s natural pathways to regulation. We will also have Joseph Falkner with us to answer questions in the Chat and throughout the event to support Deb’s teaching.
