Leave It At The Chair: A Polyvagal Workshop

Working in a service-based industry is difficult when clients come in dysregulated; it's even more difficult when world events make it hard for you to be regulated, too. Having a better understanding of the autonomic nervous system and how your own unique nervous system responds to the world around it can make it easier to cope before, during, and after work. With this polyvagal theory workshop, you will learn strategies to better understand and support yourself and your clients during difficult times. You will also be provided a manual of notes, worksheets, and readings so you may easily follow along and carry this information with you into the future.Objectives:

• Learn about the autonomic nervous system
• Get to know your own nervous system
• Identify regulating resources in your work and personal lives
• Adapt regulation techniques for working with clients

Comments from past attendees:"I think this class is incredibly helpful, especially for any job that revolves around caring for others.""I loved that it was a broader explanation of the nervous system and just having the ability to feel validated with the entire class of feeling that mental burn out. I felt less alone knowing I’m not the only person feeling unregulated after work sometimes."Kate Shelton, LMHC is a licensed therapist in Washington State with specialization in polyvagal theory and neurodiversity-affirming care.
