In this eye-opening and energizing training, counselors, social workers, and caregivers will discover the powerful science behind how we respond to stress, conflict, and disconnection. At the heart of it all is the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) the part of our body that automatically controls our fight, flight, freeze, and calm responses.

You’ll learn how the ANS influences behavior in real time, and how understanding it can bring compassion, clarity, and calm to even the most emotionally charged moments. Walk away with tools to regulate your own nervous system and support others with confidence so your relationships feel more connected and less chaotic.

Learning Objectives Include:

• Reframe behavior as a nervous system response not a character flaw 
• Promote emotional regulation over external control by strengthening internal awareness 
• Develop shared language to notice and name states that are physiological responses in the service of protection
• Build capacity for repair and connection after rupture 
• Understand how trauma and stress manifest in the family system and what to do about it
