Rhythm of Regulation: Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice
Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice
Presented By Deb Dana's Rhythm of Regulation
This training has been created and developed by Deb Dana LCSW, and is presented by her and members of her senior training team to offer a unique, deeply immersive and highly interactive learning experience. Gain insight & a thorough grounding in the clinical applications of Polyvagal Theory for your professional practice.
The autonomic nervous system is at the heart of daily living, powerfully shaping experiences of safety and influencing the capacity for connection. Through the organizing principles of hierarchy, neuroception and co-regulation, Polyvagal Theory has revolutionized our understanding of how this system works. Guided by Polyvagal Theory, we have a new appreciation of the ways experience shapes the nervous system and of the pathways that lead to healing. With this updated map of the autonomic circuits of connection, mobilization, and collapse, we have practical ways to effectively help clients identify and interrupt patterns of protection, and strategies to shape their systems toward the regulated state of safety and connection that is necessary for successful treatment.
In the Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice, participants will explore Polyvagal Theory by learning the language of the nervous system as they map their own autonomic pathways and discover how to become a regulated and regulating resource for their clients. Participants will learn how to bring the power of Polyvagal Theory into clinical work - with practices designed to reliably help clients re-shape their systems and re-write the stories that are carried in their autonomic pathways.
