Objectives
[-] 042910 - Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory with Stephen Porges, PhD
- Characterize the principle features and foundation of the Polyvagal Theory.
- Articulate how the Polyvagal Theory may explain behavioral features related to psychiatric disorders and other behavioral problems.
- Determine how maladaptive behaviors, which may accompany several psychiatric disorders, may reflect adaptive responses triggered by survival mechanisms.
- Communicate how the neural process (neuroception) evaluates risk in the environment and triggers adaptive neural circuits promoting either social interactions or defensive behaviors.
- Appraise the definition of the features of the Social Engagement System to include the neural pathways that connect the brain, face, and heart.
- Illustrate how deficits in the regulation of the Social Engagement System are expressed as core features of several psychiatric disorders.
- Specify how therapeutic presence is based on the interaction between the Social Engagement Systems of client and therapist.
- Evaluate how the Social Engagement System is involved in optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
- Ascertain which features of the Social Engagement System are compromised by stress and trauma.
- Determine how acoustic stimulation, via the Safe and Sound Protocol, may function as an acoustic vagal nerve stimulator to shift autonomic state and facilitate spontaneous social engagement behaviors.
[-] 058115 - Putting Polyvagal Theory into Practice
- Propose language to successfully introduce nervous system-based interventions with clients.
- Evaluate the five phases of the BASIC approach to polyvagal-informed treatments.
- Apply one exercise from each phase of the BASIC approach.
- Assess timing of moving between phases with clients.
- Construct practices between sessions to successfully shape new autonomic patterns.
- Utilize personal progress trackers to assess client progress.
[-] 058722 - The Story of Our Nervous System for Educators and Students
- Evaluate how autonomic states affect their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and those of their students exploring the deep connection to the felt sensations in their nervous systems.
- Analyze how neuroception impacts our humans’ ability to feel safe and impacts our perceptual maps of our embodied experiences.
- Assess how discipline in schools and homes must begin with the biological imperative of autonomically-based sense of safety to access executive functions needed for learning and overall well-being.
[-] 058725 - Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model
- Apply the basic neurophysiological states of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model for treating addiction.
- Appraise addictive behaviors through the lens of Polyvagal theory.
- Employ the Three Circle Tool with clients.
[-] 058726 - Group Psychotherapy as a Neural Exercise
- Appraise how deficits in the regulation of the Social Engagement System are expressed as core features of several psychiatric disorders.
- Analyze how group psychotherapy, conducted and guided by the principles of Polyvagal Theory, can promote the biobehavioral adjustments necessary for the recruitment of well- defined neural circuits that function as a “neural platform” essential for both attachment and affect regulation.
- Evaluate how neural processes unconsciously evaluate risk in the environment and triggers adaptive neural circuits, which promote either social interactions or defensive behaviors.

Author
STEPHEN PORGES, PHD
Stephen W. Porges, PhD, is a distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University, where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium within the Kinsey Institute. He holds the position of Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland, and is a founder of the Polyvagal Institute. Dr. Porges served as president of both the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences and is a former recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. He has published approximately 400 peer-reviewed scientific papers across several disciplines including anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, critical care medicine, ergonomics, exercise physiology, gerontology, neurology, neuroscience, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, psychometrics, space medicine, and substance abuse. His research has been cited in more than 50,000 peer-review publications. In 1994, Dr. Porges proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-Regulation (Norton, 2011), The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe (Norton, 2017), Polyvagal Safety (Norton, 2021), co-author with Seth Porges of Our Body Polyvagal World (Norton, 2023), and co-editor with Deb Dana of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (Norton, 2018). Dr. Porges is also the creator of a music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol™, which currently is used by approximately 3,000 therapists to improve spontaneous social engagement, to reduce hearing sensitivities, and to improve language processing, state regulation, and spontaneous social engagement.
