About the event
The Polyvagal Theory has developed out of the wider context of interpersonal neurobiology and the developing research on mind-body connection and how best to support people to recover from trauma.
This CPD course will give you an overview of the theoretical and biological basis of interpersonal neurobiology, explain the key organising principles of Polyvagal Theory and support you to use the knowledge with your clients in counselling. The final hour will provide a space for Polyvagal Theory experimentation to develop your confidence to work creatively with clients.
Through discussion, reflection, and practical experimentation, you will gain confidence in applying polyvagal-informed approaches creatively and safely in your therapeutic work.
