You’ve probably heard of fight, flight, and freeze - but do you know how to regulate your nervous system back to calm?
In this data-driven transformative course, you will:
- gain essential nervous system literacy and learn the basics of the Polyvagal Theory
- learn to identify physical and behavioral cues that indicate fight or flight, freeze, and flock
- discover ways to more quickly pacify "fight," i.e. shouting matches, combativeness, and aimless arguing
- explore how to effectively alleviate "flight," i.e. anxiety, non-stop-looping mind, and an inner go-go-go
- locate what works best when you're feeling "freeze," i.e. shut-down, numb, alone, and disconnected
- discover ways to recognize nervous system activation in others and how to respond to them
- stretch your ventral vagal capacity for calm, greater connection in relationships, and deeper physical relaxation
- learn to match your self-care techniques to your nervous system states for successful regulation and optimal health

Polyvagal Informed ++
Based on Deb Dana’s work with the Polyvagal Theory, this course offers practical techniques for calming your brain, managing activation in your body, and skillfully relating to others. Succinct live group sessions peppered with personal examples from everyday life make the material engaging and accessible.
One-on-one sessions provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the data, ask questions, and personally identify your nervous system's unique cues. The combination of group and private individual sessions ensures that you effectively apply the regulation techniques to your own nervous system for optimal health, greater ease, and depth of connection in life.

Strengthening Connection:Another component of this course is a private WhatsApp group with weekly prompts. When we share with each other, we track our own experience and learn that everyone else also experiences nervous system fluctuations. It normalizes our experience and reduces shame. It develops our ability to view our nervous system objectively and more quickly reach for the healthy tools that bring us back to calm. It also fosters a community of support that continuously reiterates the message that we are not alone and can come back into connection when we have moved away.
