Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Explain how the autonomic nervous system shapes behaviors and beliefs.

  • Describe the autonomic mapping practice.

  • Apply 2 polyvagal-informed processes to engage the regulating pathways of the autonomic nervous system.

  • Design a resilience continuum into a state of regulation

  • Identify 2 polyvagal-informed interventions that can increase a client's capacity to move from a survival state back into a state of regulation.

Description

Humans are naturally resilient beings. In a world filled with challenges, we find ways to survive, hold on to hope, and keep moving forward. Resilience is a quality that can be developed and deepened. It is the product of an autonomic nervous system that can flexibly navigate the ordinary, and sometimes extraordinary, demands of daily life without getting stuck in old habits and survival stories. Each time we are pulled out of balance and find our way back to regulation, we become more resilient. Polyvagal Theory provides a roadmap to becoming more resilient. Join Deb Dana for a polyvagal guided exploration of autonomic interventions designed to increase resilience using the regulating pathways of the autonomic nervous system. Through presentation and experiential practice you will learn the skill of autonomic mapping, create a resilience continuum, and follow the react, return, reflect, and restory sequence to engage the body’s safety circuit. Explore your own resilience pathways and become skilled in helping others discover theirs.
