Your Colleagues Are Already Benefiting from This Training 

Very applicable in therapy . . . find it a very valuable tool to be aware of . . .
“As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I have been so fortunate to be familiar with the Polyvagal theory of Porges. It is very applicable in therapy: I find it a very valuable tool to be aware of and address the state of the nervous system of the client . . . This time it was particularly interesting for me to hear in more detail about the inner ear, and the importance of the tone of voice . . . To honour how the client had survived or managed difficult life situations is also so important.”

Why the Transcript Is Essential:

• The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
• We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
• Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
• Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
• You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

 “I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
