This upcoming course “Harnessing the Power of the Vagus Nerve: A Therapeutic Approach” will provide an overview of the autonomic nervous system and its two branches the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and their corresponding roles. The Vagus nerve and its role in regulating our nervous systems will be discussed. The polyvagal theory will be described as well as the therapeutic interventions that help improve vagal tone. Additionally, other treatment ideas to help improve self-regulation using the power of the Vagus nerve will be emphasized.

Several primitive reflexes related to the Vagus response will also be discussed. The course is geared towards therapists working with children, teens and adults looking for another way to improve their client’s reactions to stress as well as the underlying nervous system reactions involved. It is geared towards the neurotypical client as well as those with any history of trauma or underlying condition or diagnosis.
