Embodied Polyvagal Co-Regulation in Therapy
A morning workshop for practitioners
Co-regulation is a profound human birthright. However, in many of us, the necessary neurological pathways and habits for mutual regulation never got established in early childhood. In therapy, practitioners have the opportunity to support clients in rewiring their nervous systems for trust and healing. These skills benefit clients and practitioners, and the learning ripples outwards into all our relationships.
Practitioners are warmly invited to this morning workshop with master somatic psychotherapist Beth Dennison. She will cover the theory and practice of four key skills for embodied relating and co-regulation. This work integrates recent information from interpersonal neurobiology with established somatic practices including Somatic Experiencing, and Bodynamics.
Please register soon, as the group size is limited to 7 participants. And, please attend live on zoom – these programs are not recorded.

Beth brings 50 years of teaching, psychotherapy, bodywork and study of neuroscience, including Polyvagal theory, to designing learning experiences that rewire our brains for connection and co-regulation. She models the embodiment she teaches.
Her groundbreaking book on Body Up! Co-Regulation provides a much needed remedy to the disconnection and dysregulation that pervade modern culture. She developed Body Up! Co-Regulation to rewire our nervous systems for peer relationships. We need to trust peer relationships in order to cooperate better across differences, and to get off of the hierarchical ladder of oppression.
