Lead clients stuck in cycles of anxiety, fear, distress, and loneliness back to safety so they can start to heal

Polyvagal Theory clinical application expert Deb Dana reveals how to help clients feel safe enough to begin healing and make lasting, positive changes.

DEB DANA, LCSW

Our autonomic nervous system (ANS) is where everything begins in our lived experiences鈥攊ncluding fears, anxiety, phobias, depression, and traumatic stress.

This understanding is at the heart of the Polyvagal Theory...

And, once you understand how to work with the nervous system, you can offer powerful, life-changing results to your clients. Even in the very first session.

It鈥檚 difficult for clients to change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors when their nervous system is stuck in a state of fear or hopelessness. But when you help them change their nervous system state, THEN they can change their stories.

Polyvagal Theory provides the foundation that鈥檒l help clients engage their nervous systems to access safety and compassion.

To help clients identify where their ANS is at鈥攁nd where they need to be to find healing鈥攃heck out the below.

It鈥檚 a simple first step that鈥檒l help clients recognize and respond to changes in their nervous systems so they can regulate these internal shifts instead of being overwhelmed by them.
