Getting Ventral with Polyvagal Theory in EMDR Therapy Course
Getting Ventral with Polyvagal Theory in EMDR Therapy is organized by EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
Description:
We love Polyvagal Theory (PVT) but are perhaps not yet comfortable with it. This workshop will help you “get ventral” with PVT, by synthesizing it into more workable use with clients. The evolution of PVT, from its dense, difficult origins to its current accessible state can now be mirrored in our offices, as we teach it to clients and explicitly use it Porges has bridged the gap between academia and ourselves, so we too can bridge it between ourselves and our clients. It is helpful to understand PTSD and dissociation in Polyvagal terms. Here you will be shown how to address EMDR therapy’s tasks of history-taking, case conceptualization, stabilization, and reprocessing, using the Polyvagal lens. PVT in EMDR therapy’s Phases 1-8 will be illustrated using personal and case examples and whole group exercises.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
