Ok. So you are already familiar with the science of connection.

That's fanstastic.

We are going to suppose then that you are already implementing an awareness of this in your clinical work in some manner.

What we are recommending, below, in terms of courses, are courses that extend your awareness of Polyvagal Theory and Autonomic Physiology into clinical contexts.

These trainings complement what you would learn from other premiere teachers and translators of Polyvagal Theory, including Stephen Porges, PhD, and Deb Dana, LCSW, both of whom we interviewed as part of our Connection Masterclass series in 2021.

In our newest, most comprehensive lecture series focused on Autonomic Physiology, accompany Hearth Science, Inc. Founder Natureza Gabriel on a deep-dive into the Autonomic Spectrum. (You can find our forthcoming book on the same themes, The Neurobiology of Connection here.)

In this lecture series, Gabriel teaches a connection phenomenological approach to the clinical applications of Polyvagal Theory and its extension through Hearth Science research (Polyvagal 2.0), based on a thorough grounding in autonomic neuro-anatomy, and the conceptual underpinnings of Polyvagal Theory, e.g., neuroception, interoception, Jacksonian dissolution, pure Autonomic states, spectrum of hybridity, and insights from our research.

In the second part of the course we transition to clinical application, focusing on tracking nervous system states in vivo, archetypal motor gesture, non-verbal communications of state, linguistic expressions of state, and healing trajectories. This lecture series is focused on the deepening and facilitation of connection states.

Presented a series of 10 deep-dive lectures, this course is designed to be the center of a discussion group for practitioners. It is offered on a sliding scale. Gather a group of your cherished colleagues, and deep-dive into the Autonomic Spectrum today.

Watch the first lecture (42 minutes) here.

In this 10+ hour deep-dive into clinical applications of Polyvagal Theory, you'll explore a range of perspectives on integrating the Polyvagal lens into clinical treatment.

Primary facilitation is by Connection Phenomenologist Natureza Gabriel, who Art Directed and Authored the Official Polyvagal Theory Poster, under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Porges, has been personally mentored by Dr. Stephen Porges, and has taught the Polyvagal Theory for more than 15 years to many thousands of wellness practitioners.

Learn from pioneering practitioners integrating Polyvagal Theory across the scope of their wellness practices, from Psychotherapy, to Manual Therapy, to Occupational Therapy, to Nursing: with Deb Dana LCSW, LICSW, Director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium at the Kinsey Institute, and author of The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, Dr. Jeff Rockwell DC, MA, DOMP, who has 40 years of experience practicing and teaching Polyvagally-informed manual therapy, Neuro-developmental Occupational Therapist Letha Marchetti OTR/L, C/NDT, SEP, and Nurse Moira Theede, author of "Polyvagal Theory Affirms the Importance of Nursing", in Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory, edited by Porges and Dana.

Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory

You're like I'm so stoked on this stuff. I want to find ways to integrate this work more deeply into my clinical practice. So glad you asked. We have developed what is likely the world's most sophisticated deep learning platform for diagnoising and treating stress-related disorders...
