Deactivating the Polyvagal Response to Racial Trauma
with Candice Dickens, LCPC-S, LCADC-S, CCTP, MAC
Polyvagal Theory for complex racial trauma offers a profound method for developing a connection to resolve trauma that can transform your clients' minds, bodies, and your practice.
Learn how applying the Polyvagal response to racial trauma can:
- Help clients process intergenerational and legacy trauma
- Develop new neurological connections to change old patterns
- Decrease reaction to triggering stimuli related to race
- Teach you to receive your client as they are, enriching your dyadic attunement
Lead clients through processing their own complex trauma related to race, childhood experiences, and more — while also deepening your understanding of your own nervous system reactions in session.
