update your tool kit for helping your clients through their own healing journey

Learn the ways of the nervous system and the tactics to unlock the beautiful magic of your clients’ bodies.

Feeling curious about

  • Why your clients don't do their at home work or why they seem to get it in your office but cannot seem to translate that into their lives?

  • Why some clients shut down in sessions & how to help them stand in their power more effectively?

  • How to navigate hard ingrained defensive responses?

  • What is going on inside of your clients when they’re giving you blank stares?

  • What is happening when your clients physiology does not match what they’re saying verbally (ie. holding a defensive posture when talking about opening up…)

Here is what you will learn in this live course:

  • Self grounding practices to ensure your own regulation during sessions with your clients. Lets face it, as with any relationship, we will trigger in each other our own lines of defense & our own stories. The Coach-Client relationship is no different. We will discuss how to navigate the moments when your clients stories or expressions trigger stress in your system.

  • Basics of the Nervous System through the Polyvagal Lens. You will learn the hierarchy between social engagement (ventral), mobility; like fight & flight (sympathetic), and freeze, fawn, & collapse (dorsal). With this understanding you will be able to meet your clients in appropriate ways depending on where they find themselves (which likely will change from session to session).

  • Tracking client physiology & learning what each presentation represents within the nervous system. Tracking is the ability to notice the physiological expressions your clients are having such as breath pace, eye movement, body language, physical shifting, and mental management strategies. With this ability, you will be able to maintain deep attunement to your clients needs & shift when is necessary to meet their physiological needs.

  • The Power of Pendulation in helping your clients’ nervous system reorient to safety so that they may begin to unwind their survival response activations. Pendulation is the first tactic in avoiding overwhelm and collapse or freeze in your clients & will help their nervous systems begin to rewire to be able to handle the complexities of what they are likely seeing you for.

  • How to Properly Titrate to avoid overwhelm & shutdown in your clients and help their system reorganize after stress and trauma. Titration is the second line of defense against overwhelm & collapse. You will learn how to notice when your clients cup is full & how to offset the steam before introducing more content for them to process.

  • Practical Strategies; putting it all into practice within your sessions. Every session we have we will explore the practical uses through demonstrations with your peers on how to utilize this model within a session.
