Scientific evidence reveals how to help your clients feel safe enough to get to the REAL issues so they can finally heal from trauma, depression, addiction and other mental health challenges
Traumatic events rewire your clients’ nervous system—keeping the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in a constant physiological state that supports fear and defense. This can make them easily agitated, always scanning the environment for signs of danger, or numb and completely shut off from the world.
When the nervous system is in self-protection mode, your clients are physically incapable of feeling safe, connecting with others or healing mental and physical wounds, which compounds their suffering.
You can help them find their way back to safety by leveraging the revolutionary tools and insight from the Polyvagal Theory.
Polyvagal Theory Helps You Complete the First—and Most Crucial—Treatment Step: Creating a Sense of Safety With Your Clients
Without first helping your clients come to a place of safety, you won’t be able to help your clients heal…
Which means they will continue to suffer, day after day.
This new online course will give you what you need to add Polyvagal Theory to your therapy practice…
So you can truly help your clients overcome the impact of trauma, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, depression and other mental health conditions.
Polyvagal Theory: Better living through neurobiology
Polyvagal Theory is a brain-body science that’s helped thousands of therapists make significant breakthroughs with clients suffering the impacts of trauma.
It provides scientific evidence—and the tools—to establish safe, caring, stable and mutually trustworthy relationships with clients.
Polyvagal Theory helps to explain why clients get stuck in either a hyper-aroused or hypo-aroused state post-trauma—and gives you a roadmap to help them return to a place of calm and safety…
And it can be embedded into any clinical treatment method you use in your practice, including:
- IFS
- CBT
- DBT
- ACT
- EMDR
- And more!
In this online course, you’ll learn the principles and practical applications of Polyvagal Theory from the most qualified experts on the topic: Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana.
There is no better teacher of Polyvagal Theory than the founder himself, Dr. Stephen Porges. And Deb Dana is the best teacher of the clinical application of the theory, as she’s widely credited with adapting Polyvagal Theory to trauma treatment.
From their work, Polyvagal Theory now informs many innovative treatments, especially in trauma.
Get practical guidance into the therapeutic power of facial expression, eye contact, voice modulation and listening to help your clients overcome traumatic experiences, attachment wounds and barriers to self-regulation.
Polyvagal Theory is an excellent practice addition for:
- Counselors
- Social Workers
- Psychologists
- Case Managers
- Addiction Counselors
- Marriage and Family Therapists
- Nurses, and
- Other Mental Health Professionals
Discover why leading therapy experts including Bessel van der Kolk, Janina Fisher, Pat Ogden, Rick Hanson, and others have integrated this insight into their work.
