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