"Jan Winhall introduces a new strategy to treat addiction that brilliantly integrates Gendlin’s classic concept of a felt sense with Polyvagal Theory." ―Stephen W. Porges, PhD, scientist, author, creator of Polyvagal Theory
Course Timing
We are currently scheduling the next cohort of this course. Please contact us for details.
Course Description
In our small group setting we delve into the concepts with our bodies leading the way through felt sensing and connecting with our autonomic nervous system. During the monthly two hour zoom classes we start with an embodied practice, and a check in, giving people an opportunity to share in the joys, the struggles, and the explorations of this important work that we do. In the second hour a volunteer presents a case using the Embodied Assessment and Treatment Tool (EATT). We dig into concepts, expanding our capacity to think at the edge, and to bring our rich experiencing into sessions. As we co-create this safe and adventurous space, we keep learning how to be intelligently present with our clients.
Focusing partnerships are encouraged and meet weekly or biweekly, forming the basis of our embodied interactions. People tell me that they feel connected, supported, and enriched in this thriving Felt Sense Polyvagal Community.
From Jan: "This group is like a think tank/practice lab. It has helped me to formulate and shape ideas and practices that are part of my Routledge book. It is one of my favorite places to be."
If you’re missing the community, looking to refresh your skills, or seeking input on a case, alumni of this course are welcome to drop-in to another live offering at $30/class. Please email info@polyvagal.org to drop-in to a Supervision Group class.
