- Registration Closed
A 5-Hour Training with Dr. Tana Bridge
8:30am-3:00pm
130 Pembroke Road, Suite 150, Concord, NH 03301
Presentation: This session will explore two distinct areas and the overlap of the two! Participants will explore skills in advancing the use of ‘professional self’. Further, they will advance their understanding of when and how to engage the parasympathetic nervous system with those we serve. The intersect between self and parasympathetic engagement through techniques in neuroception (polyvagal theory) will be reviewed. Engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system to advance personal and professional wellness will be practiced.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the power of the professional relationship;
- Describe how Implicit biases are formed and the impact on professional engagement;
- Explain skills in challenging Implicit Biases;
- Describe the role and function of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system for individuals who experience anxiety, trauma and stress related challenges;
- Explain polyvagal theory and the impact of neuroception and skills in neurception engagement;
- List opportunities for parasympathetic engagement; and
- Apply skills in parasympathetic engagement for self-care and wellness.
