When daily life feels overwhelming and cues of danger trigger survival responses, clients struggle to hold on to hope. The world feels unsafe and they are pulled out of balance into a persistent state of worry. Working with a Polyvagal perspective we can engage the body’s regulating circuits to help clients regain a sense of safety. In this workshop, you’ll learn ways to use the resources of the nervous system to help your clients manage anxiety and create a pathway back to calm.

1. Describe ways the nervous system responds to cues of danger.
2. Utilize clinical skills to engage the nervous system’s natural pathways to regulation.
3. Utilize The Polyvagal Theory as a model for case conceptulization of clients’ presenting problem and/or symptoms.
