hat if you were to put the kind of attention you currently pay to diet, exercise, nutrients etc into to healing your nervous system?My experience – both personal & professional – has been that paying attention to the nervous system is a key part of healing, both the body and the mind.
Mindfulness or meditation are great, but we can do so much more!
Thanks to insights from Professor Porges’ “Polyvagal Theory” for example, we can develop new interventions focusing on the neuro-biology of trauma, and so bring healing to this vital area.
Since incorporating this area into my workshops/retreats and private sessions, clients are reporting an acceleration of change, with increased understanding, self-compassion and resilience.
The visual model I’ve devised for use with clients aligns the amazing “Parts”-based system of Internal Family Systems therapy with the corresponding nervous system states. I love watching as a huge penny drops when people finally understand what’s happening inside them!
After chatting with various people (including Gabor Mate) about my model, I feel ready to offer it to the world, so am currently creating a video – it will take time, but watch this space…
In the meantime, you can experience the model and its associated processes for yourself at my workshops, including:
7-8 September – weekend workshop in Brighton
21-24 November – residential retreat in Oxfordshire
