Autism Intervention through the Lenses of Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory
Copyright :
Autistic patients have a challenging time engaging in therapy, especially trauma therapies. This is in many ways due to the reliance of cognition. While pattern recognition and strong intellect are a great strength it does little to compensate for the difficulty with social engagement due to a dampened social engagement system.
Join autistic clinician Sean Inderbitzen, LCSW, Member of MINT, as he guides you through using Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory lenses to assess cognitive suppression of emotional and somatic experiences of autistic clients. Building on this awareness, you’ll explore ways to increase somatic and energetic awareness during therapy sessions with your autistic clients.
