Polyvagal Interventions for Trauma

Standard - $129.99 $68.89 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

Many of our clients who enter therapy feel overwhelmed, shut down, or emotionally dysregulated. From the very first moment we begin our work with them, embodied, attuned interventions can mean the difference between healing and retraumatization. This workshop integrates Polyvagal-informed interventions through a phase-based trauma recovery model, offering a neuro-informed roadmap to help our clients heal from trauma. You’ll learn to translate the science of safety into interventions that help clients foster stabilization, deepen their capacity for resourcing, and support memory reprocessing and integration. Whether you’re in the early stages of developing a therapeutic relationship or further along, these tools provide a grounded clinical compass for working with clients recovering from complex trauma. You’ll discover how to: 

  • Support clients in dysregulated states using polyvagal strategies through a phase-based mode of trauma care 
  • Apply these interventions from the get-go, even when the therapeutic relationship is still forming 
  • Use tracking, titration, and pendulation to gently build your clients’ capacity for emotional regulation and integrate traumatic material 
  • Blend nervous system regulation strategies into your existing clinical framework to enhance client safety and improve therapeutic outcomes 

Here's What You'll Learn

  • Overview of core Polyvagal Theory concepts and the science of safety
