Join us as we synergistically work with the "Maps" of Nervous System Regulation, Relational Capacity, and Core Belief Transformation. Read more to learn why stepping into this unique training course offers you a broad and powerful skill-set for working with trauma and deepen your therapeutic practice.

In applying Polyvagal Theory, the nervous system serves as the foundation for understanding trauma and healing because it regulates our physiological and emotional responses. When an individual experiences trauma, the nervous system can become dysregulated (see chart below). This dysregulation affects physiology, behaviour, emotions and relational capacity.

By recognizing the the role of the nervous system, therapy can begin to address the underlying nervous system functioning to move beyond "managing" to actually shifting the physiological state. The shifting of physiological state is the portal into deeper changes in all areas of life, leading to symptom reduction, as well as growth and a a sense of wholeness. This training offers many different pathways to deactivate the nervous system, leading to regulation and capacity for resilience and potential post-traumatic growth. ​

Applied Polyvagal Theory is the foundation of advancing therapeutic work, utilizing the the synergy of the nervous system, relational capacity, and core beliefs. Using the lens of the nervous system, the practitioner learns the attunement skills to identify the targeted deactivation pathways needed to bring the nervous system back to a regulated state; this regulated state includes access to the green zone (see above Polyvagal Chart of Trauma Response) and is the underpinning of resilience and post-traumatic growth. When the underlying regulation is available, it leads to the platform for expansion and increased resilience. This expansion supports the client into becoming more themselves–leading to being in one’s Essence, or true self, without conditioning and limits.

Interventions include several deactivation pathways that shift states from being stuck in the dysregulation (the red and yellow zones). Learning to employ deactivation pathways to access the green zone can include general nervous system regulation, as well as relational and co-regulation capacity, and core beliefs. These polyvagal-informed neurobiological interventions lead to regulation and set the stage for assisting clients in being their true self, or in their Essence. These distinctive processes taught in this training can deepen the healing process.

​

Relational Capacity refers to an individual’s ability to form healthy and satisfying relationships. By applying insights from the neurobiology and co-regulation capacity, practitioners can help clients recognize patterns in their relationships that may stem from earlier experiences. Therapeutic techniques based on Polyvagal Theory can be tailored to enhance co-regulation capacity leading to more reciprocity, ease, and nourishment from relationships.

Core beliefs are the underlying perceptions we hold about ourselves, others, and the world; they are often shaped by early experiences. Although core beliefs are often formed as an adaptation to get through a difficulty, they get in the way of fully living. Learning to identify these core beliefs and skillfully supporting changing them can create new patterns. Because these limiting beliefs are formed in a threat state in the nervous system, it is critical to apply nervous system techniques for more long-lasting changes.. Using Polyvagal Theory-informed interventions, beliefs can be reworked more fully on a nervous system level, creating new ways of being with oneself, others, and the world.. This creates profound transformation.

​

The nervous system lays the foundation for understanding both human struggles, and it is the path towards growth and healing. Nervous system regulation is a key component for the most effective therapeutic interventions. In addition to helping to understand trauma responses, it also is the avenue towards learning to effectively apply strategies that shift nervous system physiology. This shift in nervous system physiology enhances relational capacity, reshapes core beliefs, and leads to more of one’s inherent wholeness. This approach takes the therapeutic work further and deeper. This integrated method leads to more resilience, and sets the stage for expansion to be in one’s true Essence. It also lays the groundwork for post-traumatic growth, as clients become the best versions of themselves.
