Introduction to SIMPLE Listening™: A Polyvagal informed programme
This workshop is an introduction to SIMPLE Listening™, a Polyvagal Theory-informed programme promoting physiological safety and regulation. The programme educates the practitioner to listen to their environment using somatic intuitive awareness practices to gain autonomic nervous system regulation. It offers an accessible step-by-step road map to autonomic regulation thus fostering a conscious relationship to self, other, and the environment.
The evidence-based programme takes participants through an understanding of the fundamentals of Dr. Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory (PVT) and its application in personal and professional development. Referring to the latest research papers in PVT and other emerging conversations in the field of neurophysiology, participants will gain a greater understanding of the importance of biological safety states and regulation. Questions such as how we know when we are safe, why safety is important, and the spectrum of felt-safety will be examined.
