A Holistic Approach to Anxiety
When: Saturday, February 10 at 9:30 a.m.
Where: Listuguj Education Complex
Lunch will be provided
Workshop Description:
In this experiential presentation, we will learn in an integrated and embodied way – involving both brain and body. We will cover nervous system basics including its various branches and functions, the importance of the appropriately hyped-up vagus nerve, and the ground-breaking polyvagal theory framework. You will learn how many symptoms of stress, anxiety and burnout might relate to nervous system dysregulation as a result of stress and/or trauma, and your body’s healthy protection responses being stuck “on”. Finally, we will explore how reconnecting to the body and regulating the nervous system is essential to healing and experiencing greater overall health and well-being.
