  • Overview of the three principles of polyvagal theory.
  • The how-to’s of bringing polyvagal theory to your clients.
  • The role of vagal tone and physiological regulation of emotions.
  • The vagal pathway as a means towards compassion.
  • The role of polyvagal-informed group psychotherapy.
  • The neurophysiological mechanisms of ‘feeling safe’ within the therapeutic relationship.

A significant component of this training will cover many practical hands-on exercises for applying polyvagal-informed techniques to your practice.
