Description

Stillness is an essential element of well-being, yet many clients live in a state of high alert and a move toward calm sends signals of danger. Understanding the delicate dance between safety and stillness within the parasympathetic nervous system is paramount. 

Join Deb Dana, LCSW, a beacon in the realm of Polyvagal Theory, as she illuminates the intricate pathways of the polyvagal system. In this 3 hour live virtual workshop, we’ll look at the biology of stillness, try out practices that can help clients safely experience it, and learn ways to seamlessly integrate it into your existing clinical approach. You’ll discover how to: 

  • Create a map of autonomically regulating experiences of stillness  

  • Help clients safely sequence from movement to rest  

  • Use individual and dyadic practices to create pathways to stillness  

Don’t miss this chance to learn how to safely guide clients away from survival pathways and towards a state of calm and flourishing – REGISTER NOW!
