Help your clients to navigate the complexity and profundity of grief while building resiliency through the four pathways of brain, body, mind, and heart. Offer psychoeducation, explained through brain-based and polyvagal lenses, how these four pathways can be engaged to support their grief process and enhance resilience.
Join Debra as she weaves together theory, research, an application utilizing mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Her whole-person approach is grounded in a foundation of Polyvagal, contemplative, and brain-based theories.
