Polyvagal Theory
This in-depth course will discuss how Polyvagal Theory can help explain how and why clients move through cycles of mobilisation and shut down, can help decrease shame through understanding the science of the nervous system, and can shape experiences of safety and ability for connection. Exploring Polyvagal Theory is a valuable step in creating a safe space for clients.

Our online courses
Our online courses were originally designed and created for the professional development of practitioners in the field of mental health. Over the last few years, however, there was an increase in interest from our clients, their caregivers and others to find out more about trauma.
These self-guided courses are ideal to learn in your own time in your own space. Each course contains videos and additional handouts.
