Polyvagal informed interventions for resourcing and reprocessing

Learn to harness the power of Polyvagal Theory within EMDR Therapy. This workshop explores how to tap into the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory with creative resourcing and stabilization interventions, along with techniques to support reprocessing. Participants will review a polyvagal informed model for Phase 2 Preparation work, known as the Preparation Hierarchy, to assess client readiness for reprocessing and plan interventions to foster client resiliency. We will explore four key neurophysiological skill sets to guide Phase 2 work and neural exercises to prepare a client for target reprocessing. Participants will review several interventions for Phase 2 Preparation and practice several of these techniques through experiential exercises. Trainees will also learn supportive techniques for reprocessing work. We will review strategies to maintain dual awareness in memory desensitization and review polyvagal-inspired interweaves to work through processing blocks.
