Copyright :
Turn theory into practice by combining Polyvagal Theory with complex trauma treatment. This workshop is designed to help integrate somatic experiencing techniques, trauma processing strategies, and nervous system regulating tools to support clients' healing from complex trauma.
Dr. Diane Poole Heller, internationally recognized attachment and trauma expert will demonstrate her attachment-informed approach by sharing a real-life client session- focused on freeing the client from the shackles of dorsal shutdown and dissociation after multiple traumatic experiences. You will learn somatic practices that effectively promote felt safety, reverse immobilization, and healthy boundaries, while Diane shares the tools and techniques, she uses to alleviate trauma response.
Deb Dana, Polyvagal Theory expert, will discuss how to bring Polyvagal Theory into the therapy space. Deb will lead a live Polyvagal Theory activity for you to experience this in action. You will gain a nuanced understanding of trauma’s physiological and psychological dimensions, and learn skills needed to navigate the delicate balance between activation and engagement in clients’ healing processes.
