This workshop explores the tenets of Polyvagal Theory, including how the brain and body are intricately interwoven, the importance of the autonomic nervous system in symptom (ANS) regulation, and how the ANS underpins trauma response. Trauma symptoms will be explored from the perspective of neurobiological correlates in the brain and body. This presentation focuses on current data from the research community and includes practical applications for the clinical setting.

This workshop offers 5 Continuing Education Credits (5 CEs).

This workshop costs $145 and includes lunch. A gluten free item is included in the menu.
