(WC 150349 STENGER-SULLIVAN 2025) 2-Day Certification Training: The Power of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Techniques

Course overview

New Polyvagal-informed mapping techniques to identify nervous system states Top techniques to work with simultaneous states of activation and shutdown Mind-body interventions to quickly foster resilience and safety When working with clients with high levels of developmental and complex trauma, understanding the nuances of the human nervous system is no longer option - it's essential. Without this specialized knowledge, many clinicians find themselves able to address surface-level symptoms only, while clients continue to struggle with the fallout of trauma, including anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and obsessive thinking. Too often, therapy feels stagnant, and a path toward healing remains elusive. Join Amy Stenger-Sullivan, MA, LPCC-S, somatic health expert, for this perspective-shifting course where you will learn to harness the power of polyvagal theory to: Quickly foster co-regulation and resilience in therapeutic settings Target the root of trauma using techniques like EMDR resourcing and expressive writing Help clients resource their nervous systems for regulation and connection Empower clients to move toward safety and healing with greater efficiency and precision Improve client engagement and foster lasting therapeutic breakthroughs Recognize and treat mixed states in clients, where levels of activation and shutdown coexist And so much more! Best of all, you'll end this training with the education requirements you need to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Professional and clinical experience standards apply.
