Masterclass Part 2: Navigating the quest for connection
Masterclass
Session Description
The autonomic nervous system is the foundation for our lived experience. What begins with our biology becomes the story that shapes our days. Polyvagal Theory provides a guide to the autonomic circuits that underlie behaviors and beliefs and an understanding of the body to brain pathways that give birth to our clients’ stories of safety and survival. With this updated map we have practical ways to effectively help clients identify and interrupt their familiar response patterns and strategies to shape their systems toward safety and connection. When we look to the autonomic nervous system, we find a path to creating new, resourcing patterns of connection and can reliably lead our clients into the autonomically regulated state of safety that is necessary for successful treatment. When we speak the language of the nervous system, we can help clients safely tune into their autonomic states, reshape their nervous systems, and rewrite the trauma stories that are carried in their autonomic pathways.
In this workshop you’ll learn ways to bring the science of safety and connection into clinical application as you accompany your clients on their healing journeys.
Through presentation and experiential exercises you will learn:
- the language of the nervous system and how to tune into the autonomic story
- an autonomic mapping process to guide treatment
- practices that engage the nervous system’s natural pathways to regulation
- ways to help clients identify and interrupt their familiar patterns of protection
- skills to help clients find, and savor, experiences of safety
