The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy

The autonomic<b> nervous system</b> and trauma

The autonomic nervous system and trauma

The autonomic nervous system is at the heart of daily living, powerfully shaping our experiences of safety and influencing our capacity for connection.

Polyvagal Theory, developed by renowned scientist Stephen Porges, has revolutionized our understanding of how this system works and given us a deep appreciation of the ways experience shapes the nervous system and of the pathways that lead to healing.

Trauma interrupts the development of autonomic regulation and sidetracks, building the circuitry of safe connection. Without intervention, adaptive survival responses become habitual autonomic patterns, and pathways of connection are replaced with patterns of protection.

Practical application <br/><b>to help your clients</b>

Practical application
to help your clients

With an updated map of the autonomic circuits that underlie behaviors and beliefs, we have a new understanding of the characteristic post-traumatic patterns of hyperarousal, hypervigilance, disconnection, and numbing, which can reliably lead our clients out of adaptive survival responses into the autonomically regulated state of safety that is an essential element in the process of change.

Working with the autonomic nervous system brings the science of safety into practical application with ways to help clients identify and interrupt their familiar response patterns and strategies to shape their systems toward connection.

Navigating the Nervous System: <b>The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy</b>

Navigating the Nervous System: The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy

During this workshop series you will:

  • Learn the art of befriending the nervous system.
  • Explore how to use micro-moments to reshape response patterns.
  • Experiment with ways to engage the body’s natural pathways of connection.
  • Discover how to use your own autonomic nervous system to create an environment of safety for your clients.

This workshop series combines didactic teaching with experiential practices to support participants in developing an embodied understanding of the organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory and bringing the principles alive in their work.

At the end of the workshop series, <b>you will be able to</b>:

At the end of the workshop series, you will be able to:

  • Describe the autonomic hierarchy and the emergent properties of states through a process of autonomic mapping.
  • Determine ways neuroception shapes behavior.
  • Apply strategies that utilize the co-regulating pathways of the Social Engagement System in clinical work to improve clinical outcomes.
  • Practice skills to identify and interrupt patterns of protection and shape the system toward connection.
  • Utilize the guiding questions of Polyvagal-informed therapy to make clinical choices.

<b>Workshop 1:</b><br/> The Autonomic Hierarchy<br/> — Moving from Survival<br/> to Safety

Workshop 1:
The Autonomic Hierarchy
— Moving from Survival
to Safety

The autonomic nervous system activates patterns of connection and protection in predictable ways.

During this workshop you will:

  • Discover how you move between safety and survival.
  • Explore the emergent properties of dorsal, sympathetic, and ventral states.
  • Learn an autonomic mapping process to begin to track movement along the hierarchy.
<b>Workshop 2:</b>  Neuroception — Exploring Patterns of Connection and Protection

Workshop 2: Neuroception — Exploring Patterns of Connection and Protection

Through the process of neuroception, the autonomic nervous system makes moment-to-moment decisions about safety and survival.

During this workshop you will:

  • Explore the embodied, environmental, and relational pathways of neuroception.
  • Use the safety/danger equation to identify cues of safety and danger.
  • Experiment with ways to rebalance the equation to support practitioner-client connection.
<b>Workshop 3:</b> Co-Regulation — Connecting Through the Social Engagement System

Workshop 3: Co-Regulation — Connecting Through the Social Engagement System

The pathways of the social engagement system form a biological safety circuit that creates the platform for co-regulation.

During this workshop you will:

  • Explore the role of the social engagement system in the process of co-regulation.
  • Learn how eyes, ears, voice, and head movements send warnings to others to stay away or invitations to approach and connect.
  • Discover ways to create the conditions that help clients move out of protection toward readiness for connection.
<b>Workshop 4:</b> Application<br/> — Integrating a Polyvagal Approach

Workshop 4: Application
— Integrating a Polyvagal Approach

Ventral vagal energy is an essential element in the therapeutic change process.

During this workshop you will:

  • Learn to use the guiding questions, "What does my nervous system need in this moment to be anchored in regulation?" and "What does my client's nervous system need in this moment?", to frame your session.
  • Track the flow of a session through autonomic responses.
  • Experiment with practices that interrupt clients' habitual survival patterns.
  • Offer micro-moments of safety and connection.

Stephen W. Porges

With seamless fluidity Deb Dana bridges the intuitions of a master clinician with the insights of Polyvagal Theory to formulate a powerful treatment model to guide the client on a journey from the abyss of helplessness to the empowerment of connectedness.

Stephen W. Porges, Originator of the Polyvagal Theory
Richard Schwartz

Deb Dana has a unique ability to translate complex neuroscience into a language that is not only comprehensible to psychotherapists but also provides new understandings and guidance for what they do. She is particularly adept at using Steven Porges’ important Polyvagal Theory to inform psychotherapy in general and the Internal Family Systems model in particular. I recommend highly her workshops.

Opinions about this series

One of the very best trainings I have attended. Good balance of theory and practical tools along with experiential exercises. Deb has a wonderful way of getting information across at many different levels. She was obviously well-organized and the handouts were great.
Maria Gustin
Absolutely loved the workshops, the beautiful pace, very considerate of all the states we may show up in, Deb is a beautiful soul with so much knowledge and experience to share, and I feel very grateful to have experienced the joy of moving through states safely and with ease. I loved the resources, and SIFTING is my favorite. Thank you
Heidi Burns
It was fantastic! I enjoyed the three live sessions I participated in so much as they were very practically oriented and relevant immediately (...). I like it was so accessible, hands-on relevant, and well put together with a variety of ways of teaching and practicing.
Susanne Clausen Riis
Loved the format, even the meeting in small rooms turned out to be most enjoyable. Deb Dana is an amazing teacher and even for me who is not a therapist, the course was extremely useful. I appreciate we have got access to the recordings plus all the good material.
Lona Moller
Awesome! I have yet to see a course so well put together! Everything was finely tuned! I feel I now understand things I didn't in the past. It's connecting the dots with other approaches I know and the experience of people I have been following over the years. I now have a new ally: the nervous system! And lastly, polyvagal is not biopsychiatric and/or pathological! It's all normal reactions !!! Deb Dana is such a great psychotherapist and teacher! She really knows complex trauma. She was able to answer tough, complex questions in a succinct and concrete manner. The way the material was put together, the pedagogy, the tools, the written materials, and the balance between theory and practice. Also, the fact that we tried the tools, the approach ourselves, and shared with other participants - is the best way to anchor for practice afterward. Also, the atmosphere in the course was gentle, authentic and made me feel safe.
