Polyvagal Theory/Mindfulness

This theory focuses on stablishing a safe and trusting space where clients can explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. Helping clients develop awareness of their physiological responses can empower them to recognize when they are in a state of dysregulation and take steps to self-soothe or re-engage with their social environment.

Mindfulness practices and breath control can activate the ventral vagal system, promoting relaxation and emotional regulation. Facilitating opportunities for clients to engage in positive social interactions, whether through group therapy or community involvement, can enhance feelings of safety and belonging.

I try to recognize when clients may need pharmaceutical intervention, and I am committed to working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals. Medication can help with daily functioning. This collaborative model not only enhances the quality of care but also provides clients with a more supportive and effective treatment experience.
