Access to The Nervous System Hub

You signed up for the APA in October so you get immediate access to a library of trainings. Please login to your dashboard to see the Hub!

The following workshops are included:

1. Grief and the Nervous System: Beyond the Five Stages: A somatic reframe of grief: how it pushes us into hyperarousal or hypoarousal, the four ways we avoid feeling it, and a guided RAIN practice for helping clients move through it, without chasing "closure."

2. The Neurobiology of Calm Connections: Co-regulation isn't just good vibes, it's vagus nerve science. Learn where it tips into codependency or stress contagion, how it maps to attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant) and how to stay regulated while holding space for others.

3. How The Nervous System Heals: Healing isn't just mental - it's neuroplasticity and bioplasticity, whole-body change from the ground up. Dig into the vagus nerve's role in shifting between the three nervous system states (regulated, fight-or-flight, shutdown), with two guided reflection exercises. 

4. The Voice Is A Portal To Regulation: Your voice - spoken, sung, hummed, even cried or sworn, is a direct line to nervous system safety. Learn how it shifts you between calm, stress, and shutdown, why anger isn't dysregulation to fix, and practical techniques for staying regulated in hard conversations. 

5. Allostatic Load: Chronic stress doesn't just stay in your head, it lives in your gut, immune system, and pain response. Get the traffic-light model for sympathetic, dorsal vagal, and ventral vagal states, and the science on why dysregulation is reversible in 6 weeks.

6. Freeze, Dissociation and Shutdown: Move beyond sympathetic vs. parasympathetic with the three lines of defense and learn to tell freeze, shutdown, and dissociation apart by their physiological markers. Get practical strategies for shifting out of hypoarousal, including what to avoid and why.

7. Why Proprioception Leads to Nervous System Regulation: Your brain's sense of body position is a direct line to the survival brain, which is why sensory work calms dysregulation faster than cognitive approaches. See how chronic tension fuels the brainstem's fear loop and proprioceptive input flips it, hitting the vagal brake and slowing the heart rate. 

8. Access to the Workshop Bundle: 

Is Polyvagal Theory Evidence-Based?: A grounded look at the science behind Polyvagal Theory: what's well-supported, what's contested, and what practitioners need to know to work with nervous system regulation confidently and credibly.

Regulation in Connective Tissue Disorders : Explore where the autonomic nervous system meets chronic illness, with a specific focus on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS and hypermobility, and what it means for regulation-based support. 

Nervous System and Addiction: Discover how addiction looks when viewed through the lens of the nervous system. This workshop unpacks the research on interoception and predictive coding to explain why cravings happen and what it takes to shift them at the root.
