How do our bodies move between seeking protection and seeking connection? How might we conceptualise this using Transactional Analysis theory?
The way we respond to and recover from the challenges of our daily experiences and living is a marker of wellbeing and it depends on the actions of the autonomic nervous system.
Polyvagal theory offers an explanation into how our nervous system effects our entire experience of life, how we connect and communicate and how we deal with and respond to both real and perceived threats and danger.
Our autonomic nervous system has 3 pathways and depending on which pathway is activated, we can see, hear and even taste things differently.
In this experiential and embodied focused workshop, Rebecca will take you on a journey that begins with an introduction of the three pathways of our nervous system and will include some exploration into how they differ. She will introduce the TA concept of Life Scripts, before considering how we can use this to understand Polyvagal theory in the therapy room and use it to inform our way of working with clients.
