Description
Move beyond cognitive interventions and into the body where regulation actually happens. This dynamic, experiential session equips clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to support nervous system regulation using breathwork, yoga-informed movement, and co-regulation. Grounded in neuroscience and designed for real-world application, you’ll learn how to confidently integrate bottom-up strategies that enhance safety, flexibility, and connection in your clinical work.
You’ll walk away with the skills to:
- Apply simple, evidence-informed breathwork, movement, and grounding techniques in-session to support real-time nervous system regulation
- Assess arousal states and make confident clinical decisions around pacing, intervention choice, and contraindications
- Use your own presence and attunement as a therapeutic tool to strengthen co-regulation and support client safety
