The Regulated Therapist

Join Natalie for this 8 hour Experiential Trauma-Informed Somatic & Polyvagal Training for Safe Therapeutic Practice.

This two session experiential CPD training will explores trauma-informed somatic practice through a polyvagal lens, supporting practitioners to work more safely and confidently with nervous system activation in clinical and relational spaces.

Grounded in nervous system awareness and embodied practice, the training explores how to support trauma work without overwhelming or re-traumatising clients.

The following key topics will be explored:

• Trauma through a somatic lens
• Procedural memory and embodied survival responses
• Fight, flight, freeze and shutdown states
• Polyvagal-informed practice
• Neuroception
• The autonomic hierarchy
• Co-regulation
• Reciprocity
• Triggers and glimmers
• The vagal brake
• Therapist nervous system regulation
• Window of tolerance
• Titration and pacing
• Relational safety and embodied therapeutic presence
• Practical somatic interventions and nervous system tools
