What you'll learn

  • Identify somatic indicators of nervous system states—such as breath, micro-expressions, tone, and posture—within the limited frame of a virtual session
  • Assess client arousal levels and window of tolerance in real time online, and apply strategies for checking in without disrupting therapeutic flow
  • Implement and adapt nervous system regulation interventions for teletherapy, using pacing, tone, and presence to support client safety and engagement despite technical or environmental constraints

  11. Feeling VERY FRUSTRATED at how difficult it is to access your site for anything other than purchasing an upgrade. I upgraded more than a week ago and yet you provide no obvious portal. I’m trying to complete my CEU’s. Please respond with clear directions.
