Deb Dana guides us, by means of simple exercises, to understand and befriend our autonomic nervous system, engaging its healing capacities to connect with ourselves and with our social world." --Gabor Maté, MD, author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Course Overview

In the last few years there has been groundbreaking neuroscience research that has fundamentally changed our understanding of how trauma, adverse childhood experiences and chronic stress impact individuals psychologically, physiologically, emotionally and socially. Polyvagal Theory provides a guide to a new view of well-being through understanding the body’s nervous system. With Polyvagal Theory we have a framework to explore the ways experience shapes the nervous system and the pathways that lead to healing. This workshop presents the organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory in combination with practices that bring the theory into practical application through recorded teaching modules with master clinician Deb Dana. This is an introductory webinar for individuals who wish to explore the key principles of Polyvagal Theory and how to bring them into clinical practice. 4 CEU’s are available for purchase.

Students will have access to the course for 180 days from the date of purchase.
