Course Overview
A Science-Backed, Practical Approach to Trauma Healing and Nervous System Regulation
Understanding the nervous system is at the core of trauma healing, yet many therapists lack a structured, science-backed framework to apply in practice. This masterclass provides a deep dive into Polyvagal Theory, equipping you with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to facilitate profound healing for your clients.
Polyvagal Theory explains how the nervous system shapes our emotional, behavioral, and physiological responses to stress, trauma, and connection. By mastering this framework, therapists can guide clients toward greater self-regulation, resilience, and healing. This course bridges the gap between complex neuroscience and practical application, allowing you to confidently integrate nervous system regulation techniques into your existing therapeutic work.
Through this meaty 6-module immersive training, you will explore how the autonomic nervous system adapts to trauma, how to assess nervous system states, and how to implement interventions that align with somatic and neurobiological healing approaches. You’ll learn real-world techniques, including breathwork, movement, grounding strategies, and somatic interventions, that help shift clients from survival states into safety and connection.
In addition to the fundamental Polyvagal principles, this masterclass dives into cutting-edge innovations in trauma therapy, exploring how biofeedback, neurofeedback, virtual reality, AI, and EMDR integration are shaping the future of therapeutic practice. The knowledge you gain will not only enhance your understanding of trauma but will revolutionize your therapeutic approach, making your practice more effective, compassionate, and transformative for clients.
This masterclass is structured to be both theoretically enriching and practically applicable, ensuring you walk away with a concrete roadmap for integrating Polyvagal Theory into your work, regardless of your therapeutic background. Whether you're working with developmental trauma, attachment wounds, PTSD, or anxiety-related disorders, this course will empower you with the tools to create meaningful, lasting change for your clients.
By enrolling in this masterclass, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the body's innate capacity to heal and develop strategies that honor the nervous system’s adaptive intelligence. This course is not just about theory, it’s about transformation, providing you with actionable interventions that will make an immediate impact in your clinical practice.
If you’re ready to elevate your trauma therapy practice, help clients navigate their nervous system states with confidence, and integrate Polyvagal-informed approaches that align with the latest scientific advancements, then this masterclass is for you.

Curriculum
This 6-module masterclass provides an in-depth exploration of Polyvagal Theory and its practical applications in trauma therapy. Each module builds on the previous one, equipping therapists with science-backed tools to assess nervous system states, integrate somatic interventions, and apply cutting-edge therapeutic innovations.
Module 1:
Foundations of Polyvagal Theory
• Core principles of Polyvagal Theory and its role in trauma therapy
• Understanding nervous system states: Social Engagement, Fight/Flight, and Freeze/Shutdown
• The role of neuroception in detecting safety and threat
• How autonomic nervous system regulation shapes client behaviors
Module 2:
Trauma, Attachment, and the Nervous System
• How early attachment experiences shape nervous system development
• Recognizing trauma imprints and their impact on self-regulation
• The connection between attachment wounds and Polyvagal states
• Techniques for restoring relational safety and co-regulation
Module 3:
Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapy
• How to track nervous system shifts in therapy sessions
• Somatic interventions for supporting nervous system regulation
• Practical tools for self-regulation and co-regulation with clients
• Helping clients move from dysregulation to safety and connection
Module 4:
Nervous System Healing & Regulation Tools
• The role of breathwork, movement, and sound therapy in regulation
• Grounding techniques informed by Polyvagal principles
• How to use body-based interventions to support client healing
• Strategies to help clients reconnect with their bodies after trauma
Module 5:
Complex Trauma & Polyvagal Integration
• Working with blended trauma states (fight, flight, freeze, shutdown)
• How trauma affects interoception, body memory, and neuroplasticity
• The impact of chronic dysregulation on long-term health
• Supporting clients in rebuilding resilience and safety
Module 6:
Innovations in Trauma Therapy
• The future of neuroscience, AI, and technology in therapy
• How biofeedback, neurofeedback, and VR enhance trauma healing
• Integrating EMDR with Polyvagal Theory for deeper trauma resolution
• How emerging research is redefining trauma treatment approaches
This masterclass is designed for Counselling therapists, EMDR practitioners, somatic therapists, and mental health professionals seeking a comprehensive, practical approach to trauma healing and nervous system regulation.
