Polyvagal Prompts: How To Find Glimmers with Deb Dana & Courtney Rolfe

Описание: Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In this week’s episode, I'm excited to dive into the practical applications of Polyvagal Theory for therapists and anyone interested in this transformative work. We have a special treat today as we welcome back a beloved returning guest, Deb Dana, LCSW, and introduce our first-time guest, Courtney Rolfe, LCPC. Together, they've co-authored the new book, "Polyvagal Prompts: Finding Connection and Joy Through Guided Explorations."

I recently had the pleasure of spending time with these two incredible teachers in Germany and England. By chance, Courtney and I were invited to the same dinner, and what started as a podcast interview blossomed into a cherished friendship. I’m immensely grateful for the groundbreaking work Deb and Courtney are doing to make Polyvagal Theory accessible to everyone on their healing journeys. Join me as we explore how to find glimmers and enhance our connections through the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory.
