Do you feel overwhelmed? Disconnected? Frequently restless, tense or fatigued? Learn how to process and transform anxiety in this therapeutic workshop.

Join us Saturday, January 4th for an experiential workshop in Polyvagal-informed tools for anxiety. Derived from 8 years of training in somatic psychology with survivors of trauma, this workshop integrates Polyvagal Theory (a theory about how trauma and the nervous system affects our perceptions and responses), Somatic Internal Family Systems and Authentic Movement.

 Together, we bridge the intelligence of the mind with the innate wisdom of the body. When self-awareness grows, authentic expression emerges and obstacles to health begin to shift.

 Learning Objectives ::
*Learn the difference between fear & anxiety
*Discover your personal somatic identifiers of anxiety
*Learn the basics of Polyvagal Theory and build neuroceptive awareness
*Learn the key components of somatic therapy
*Learn sensory tools and movement sequences to minimize anxiety
*Discover breath and sounding techniques to release anxiety
*Build interoception / somatic self-awareness

Somatic psychotherapy helps us manage sensory overload, burnout and gives us tools to cope with the demands & expectations of a neurotypical society. By engaging the somatic nervous system in therapy, we are aligned with neurodiversity-affirming care.

Learn language and concepts to increase understanding of neurodivergence in this therapeutic workshop.
