Using the research from Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana LCSW, the Polyvagal/Somatic Approaches to Trauma group explores how our nervous system responds to threats. The group helps clients understand their autonomic nervous systems and increase autonomic nervous system flexibility by utilizing somatic tools and awareness. The goal is for clients to develop a deeper understanding of their biological nervous system responses and feel empowered to use strategies to regulate their nervous system and orient towards safety and connection. This is an 8-week group.
