Description
If you’re like most clinicians you’ve been hearing a lot about Polyvagal Theory lately.
But the complicated theory that’s changed our understanding of the nervous system’s response to stress and danger can be difficult for non-scientists to grasp. And even if you can wrap your head around the complex research, you’re still left trying to figure out how to make the knowledge useable in real life.
Without the right guide, one who can simplify the science and show you how to operationalize it, you’ll be left unable to bring this important information to your practice.
Dr. Sherrie All is a licensed psychologist specializing in neuropsychology whose trainings have made complicated research and scientific concepts accessible and useable for mental health professionals across the country.
Watch Dr. All as she unpacks the science behind the Polyvagal Theory and shows you how you can immediately put it to use in your clinical work!
In this training, you’ll get:
- An accessible and user-friendly explanation of Polyvagal Theory
- Guidance on recognizing and responding to clients’ autonomic states in therapy
- Ways to create a space of safety and co-regulation using body, face, and tone
- Movement, breath and grounding practices as applied through a Polyvagal lens
Don’t miss this chance to understand Polyvagal Theory better than ever before and enhance your therapeutic work!
