Your course was fantastic - completely rocked my world. And it did something I've been struggling to do for at least 2 years now, which was to make Polyvagal theory completely understandable and relatable to my clients. Thank you for your excellent work. -Dr. Sarah Wayland, PhD
In this course, specifically created for health professionals and interested lay people, you will learn the foundations of the Polyvagal Theory, and a variety of Restorative Practices that you can engage personally, and/or utilize with patients/clients to support their well-being. The course explains:
- a broad conceptualization of the theory, and why it is important
- the 3 neural circuits and 7 Neural Platforms of behavior
- The Connection System (the social engagement system)
- Threat Responses (fight, flight, freeze, shutdown)
- Ambiguous Stimuli (how our neural platforms shape our interpretation of what is unknown)
- Identifying Neural Platforms in self and others
- What each Neural Platform requires in order to feel supported
- A broad variety of practices that accomplish the above, helping us sustain connection states and shift out of defensive states (threat responses)
- A guided meditation practice that integrates Polyvagal Theory
- A supplement for physicians that explores implications of the theory in clinical practice
The course NOW includes nearly 3 hours of conversation between Gabriel Kram and Dr. Stephen Porges PhD:
