Originator of the Polyvagal Theory

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.

Richard Schwartz

Developer of Internal Family Systems Therapy

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.
