Mastering Client Therapy: Polyvagal Theory Meets NLP and Hypnosis
“Polyvagal theory is a way of understanding how excited we are really in the moment and what you're talking about here with someone who has had trauma in the past, who may be repressing it knowingly, unknowingly or varying degrees of conscious versus non-conscious awareness of what actually happened.”
Ever wondered how to make therapy sessions more effective for your clients? Dr. Will Horton teams up with Carrie East to break down the Polyvagal theory and its practical applications in this engaging episode. They dive into how our autonomic nervous system processes information and triggers responses, offering exercises to help clients feel safe and grounded. With real-life case studies, they illustrate how combining Polyvagal theory with NLP and hypnosis can significantly enhance therapeutic outcomes.
The discussion also touches on the reticular activating system and the crucial role of creating a secure environment for clients. By understanding the three biological pathways of response—ventral vagal, sympathetic, and dorsal vagal states—therapists can better address trauma and repression. If you're looking to enrich your therapeutic toolkit, this episode offers valuable insights into integrating these powerful techniques.
