Here's is what's covered in each module:Module 1 : The Polyvagal TheoryPrinciples and features of the Polyvagal Theory, and how to apply it in a clinical settingHow the Polyvagal Theory can demystify several features related to stress-related illnesses and psychiatric disorders such as PTSD, autism, depression, and anxiety How the Social Engagement System is compromised by stress and trauma and how to reset itEvolutionary changes and adaptive functions in the autonomic nervous systemHumans' response hierarchy to challenges Three neural platforms that provide the neurophysiological bases for social engagement, fight/flight, and shutdown behaviorsModule 2 : Social Engagement System and Psychiatric and Behavioral DisordersThe "face-heart" connection that forms a functional social engagement systemHow our facial expressions, vocalizations, and gestures are regulated by neural mechanisms that are involved in regulating our autonomic nervous systemModule 3 : Neuroception: Detecting and Evaluating RiskHow our social and physical environment triggers changes in physiological stateUnderstanding how adaptive physiological reactions may result in maladaptive behaviorsImmobilization without fear Play as a neural exercise and listening as a neural exerciseFight/flight and immobilization defense strategies Adaptive function of immobilization and the associated clinical difficultiesHow the stresses and challenges of life distort social awareness and displace spontaneous social engagement behaviors with defensive reactionsModule 4 : Applying the Polyvagal Theory in Clinical SettingsUnderstanding auditory hypersensitivitiesState regulation as a core feature of psychiatric disordersDeconstructing features of autism and PTSD Strategies to explain disruption and repair of symbiotic regulation Identifying social cues that disrupt or repair defensive reaction.
