Reignite Your Power

This program is clinically applicable to healthcare professionals working with individuals experiencing trauma, chronic stress, or emotional dysregulation. Through evidence-based mindfulness and somatic practices, clinicians will explore methods to regulate the autonomic nervous system, build distress tolerance, and support trauma recovery. These strategies can be directly applied to support clients or used to enhance clinician well-being and emotional resilience. Topics such as post-traumatic growth, neurobiological regulation, and mindfulness-based self-compassion are grounded in empirical research and relevant to psychological assessment and intervention.

Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. 

Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-

At the end of the program, you will be better able to:

1. Describe three empirically supported benefits of mindfulness practice for emotional regulation, cognitive function, and stress reduction.
2. Describe two mechanisms by which mindfulness practices can mitigate eco-anxiety, including the use of grounding techniques and cognitive reframing strategies.
3. Apply mindfulness-based interventions (e.g., diaphragmatic breathing, body scan) to reduce anxiety and autonomic hyperarousal.
4. Explain the neurobiological mechanisms and physiological effects of mindfulness, including changes in brain structure, neuroplasticity, and autonomic nervous system responses.
5. List three trauma symptoms and explain how mindfulness strategies can be used to regulate arousal and support trauma recovery.
6. Describe three mindfulness-based practices shown to support resilience by enhancing stress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mental clarity.
7. Assess the application of loving-kindness practices as a clinical intervention for reducing anxiety and enhancing emotional well-being through the cultivation of compassion.
8. List at least three indicators of post-traumatic growth and three symptoms of trauma, and describe how mindfulness-based approaches can support both trauma recovery and psychological growth.
9. Describe at least one somatically informed mindfulness practice that supports autonomic nervous system regulation and emotional self-regulation.
10. Describe three mindfulness-based practices that activate the vagus nerve and enhance parasympathetic regulation during trauma recovery.
