You might be a coach, counsellor or therapist, looking to apply polyvagal in a therapeutic or mental health context Or you might be a coach looking to assist people to regulate their state and step into flow and even greater performance. You might even be a teacher curious about how polyvagal theory shows up in the classroom or a manager, leader, supervisor, wondering how to identify polyvagal responses in the workplace.
This workshop will explore what we see in practice in each of the autonomic states AND what we see when people are stuck in ONE state. We will also explore some adaptations (fawn, feign, people pleasing) and we will discuss a range of interventions to assist people to create neurological flexibility, reinstating choice and control.
We know that if people do not feel safe, truly, deeply safe, they will close down: physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and spiritually.
This practical workshop will introduce approaches to a practical application of Polyvagal Theory and will share with you:
- How different neurological states show up in practice in contexts such as therapy, learning environments and workplaces
- Common Trauma responses and impacts on autonomic state
- What you might expect if someone is ‘stuck’ in one familiar response
- How to safely explore with clients their reality to enhance their own understanding
- How to work with the client to extend flexibility and control
When: 8 April 2025, 9am – 12.30pm

Learning Outcomes
After completing the workshop you will be able to:
• have a deeper understanding of Polyvagal Theory and how it shows up in practice

• recognise common traumatic responses in terms of polyvagal reaction
• recognise a range of autonomic reactions in different contexts
• encourage safe neurological flexibility for yourself and others
• consider applications in your own field of work
Who Should Attend
The workshop is aimed at healthcare professionals, coaches, counsellors and therapists who want to begin to explore and work with polyvagal theory.
Ideally you will have already done Part 1. You must already know the basics of polyvagal as Part 2 will not be covering the basics like the Ladder – the three levels – neurocpetion / coregulation / hierarchy etc.
