This will be an experiential training so please dress comfortably!
This training is designed to help therapists learn practical strategies to help clients learn to regulate stress responses gently and efficiently. These strategies are designed to be able to build up the client toolbox of coping skills they can utilize for themselves outside of the office. Clinicians will learn about polyvagal theory and root causes of anxiety and stress responses, identify which techniques to use when, and help clients effectively calm the nervous system. The first hour and a half will be focused on theory and planning and the second will be spent practicing various techniques to build familiarity and comfort.
