Working with Trauma and the Nervous System: Somatic and Polyvagal-Informed Approaches

In this webinar, Jenifer Freedy draws on her experience supporting survivors of trauma to explain how therapists can work with the nervous system to support more attuned and effective work with clients.

The session focused on recognizing and responding to patterns of activation, shutdown, and dissociation as meaningful protective responses, rather than symptoms to be managed.

Jenifer discussed how a polyvagal-informed lens can support therapists in tracking moment-to-moment shifts, and adjusting their interventions to better support safety, pacing, and connection.

Integrating somatic techniques and polyvagal principles with parts-oriented work, Jen highlighted practical ways to stay aligned with a client’s capacity while deepening therapeutic attunement. The emphasis is on working with what is happening with the client, by supporting regulation without pushing beyond what feels manageable for the client.

This webinar is well-suited for therapists working with trauma who want to strengthen their understanding of regulation and protective responses, while keeping the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work.

🐦 🐦 Can you help these birds?

These poor birds. They've been squabbling for years. Charlie keeps threatening to build a new nest for himself, but he hates being alone.

He feels suffocated. He wants alone time. He gets so mad at Ava because she is always upset with him about something.

He tries to tune her out, but she gets angrier and angrier. Eventually, he ends up screaming at her in exasperation.

The next thing you know, Charlie blames Ava for their relationship problems, and Ava blames Charlie.

The two of them stop listening to each other. Charlie and Ava keep attacking each other until their lungs hurt from screaming.

They take a short break. There is silence momentarily before they start up again.

The cycle keeps going around and around...

Are you a couples therapist who can help? Or do you need more training?

If you want to be skilled at helping these squabbling birds become ❤️ love birds, sign up for this FREE training now.
