The Brain, The Body, The Basics

THE BRAIN, THE BODY, THE BASICS: PUTTING POLYVAGAL THEORY TO WORK

One of the best ways we can approach our mental health is by understanding the relationships between our brains and bodies. For many of us, though, understanding the anatomy of our nervous systems is easier said than done. This one-hour training serves as an approachable introduction to Polyvagal Theory and how we can use it for both our clients, our patients, and ourselves to nurture new pathways to coping through becoming more intune with our bodies and minds.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Polyvagal Theory has become a “hot topic” in mental health recently - and for good reason. Being able to connect our mind and body experiences through evidence-based practice can have tremendous benefits for many people. However, one can also easily get lost in the science of it all, especially if anatomy is not your specialty. This training is accessible to people at any level of understanding of the role our autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays in our emotional functioning, even if you are completely new to Polyvagal Theory.

Alongside learning about the functions of different parts of our brains in processing emotions, this workshop also covers how we can apply this knowledge to our practice with others, including both tips on how to recognize the three vagal states and demonstrations of specific exercises we can use with clients or ourselves to guide ourselves between vagal states.

KEY CURRICULUM COMPONENTS

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS TRAINING

Understand the roles of the thalamus, amygdala (ANS), and prefrontal cortex.
Learn about these three key parts of the brain and how they each process information.

Understand the three vagal states.
Students will come away with a basic understanding of each of these states and their functions.

Understand the relationship between the prefrontal cortex and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
This training will deepen your understanding of how our “thinking” part of our brain interacts with the rest of our body, and vice versa.

Develop new skills and identify further resources for learning.
The facilitator covers three different exercises you can incorporate into your clinical practice to guide clients between their vagal states. Discussions will also cover different resources to learn more about our nervous systems.
