Polyvagal-Informed EMDR Therapy
Rebecca Kase, LCSW, RYT
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
Enhance your clinical practice by integrating the principles of Polyvagal Theory and EMDR therapy, two transformative frameworks that deepen our understanding of the connection between memory, trauma, and autonomic processes. This pre-recorded webinar, presented by Rebecca Kase, LCSW, RYT, equips mental health professionals with practical tools to help clients achieve emotional regulation and resilience.
This online Polyvagal-Informed EMDR therapy CE course explores the foundational concepts of Polyvagal Theory, including the critical role of the vagus nerve in health, well-being, and social bonding. Discover the adaptive information processing model at the heart of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and learn how the brain’s memory storage influences symptoms and clinical presentations. Through insightful case conceptualization strategies, you’ll gain valuable Polyvagal-Informed EMDR approaches to foster self-soothing, enhance client readiness, and promote trauma resolution.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this online course, participants will be able to:
- Identify two core principles of Polyvagal Theory and apply them to enhance client regulation and safety in therapy.
- Describe the role of the autonomic nervous system in social engagement and its impact on trauma processing within EMDR therapy.
- Analyze the adaptive information processing model and integrate its principles to assess symptoms and guide EMDR treatment planning.
- Utilize neural exercises to prepare clients for trauma processing, improving their capacity for regulation and resilience.
- Confidently incorporate Polyvagal-Informed strategies into EMDR therapy, equipping clients with tools to navigate trauma and emotional dysregulation more effectively.
This recorded training is an invaluable resource for therapists looking to incorporate evidence-based strategies into their counseling repertoire, fostering lasting change for clients. Although mental health professionals may see these dynamics unfold unconsciously, this online course provides a unique opportunity for personal and professional growth. You’ll gain the tools to intentionally refine your vocal and physiological presence, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with your therapeutic intentions, aspirations, and core values.
About Online Polyvagal-Informed EMDR Therapy CE Courses:
In this online continuing education course, participants will explore how the vagal system, neuroception, and the social engagement system influence emotional regulation and healing in individuals with complex trauma.
Integrating Polyvagal Theory and EMDR therapy can enhance trauma-informed clinical work, such as neuro-informed interventions that provide clinicians with the tools to support clients in navigating dissociation and other trauma-related symptoms. Clinicians can apply somatic techniques and therapeutic presence to create a safe and supportive environment for clients while promoting trauma resolution.
In this intersection of therapeutic frameworks, key concepts include self-care, preparation hierarchy, and the relationship between psychotherapy and autonomic responses.
Target Audience:
This continuing education course is designed for mental health professionals who integrate trauma-informed, neurobiologically grounded approaches into their clinical work. It is particularly beneficial for EMDR therapists seeking to enhance their therapeutic effectiveness by incorporating Polyvagal-Informed interventions into memory reprocessing.
Ideal participants include:
- Licensed EMDR therapists looking to deepen their understanding of autonomic nervous system regulation and refine their physiological presence and vocal presence to foster client safety and engagement.
- Mental health counselors (LPCs, LCMHCs, LMHCs, CMHCs) who aim to align their therapeutic approach with core values that emphasize client resilience, trauma recovery, and emotional regulation.
- Social workers (LCSWs, LISWs, MSWs) who support clients in overcoming trauma-related dysregulation and wish to integrate Polyvagal-Informed EMDR therapy into their practice.
- Marriage and family therapists (MFTs, LMFTs) working with individuals, couples, or families impacted by trauma and interpersonal challenges, particularly those seeking strategies to enhance interpersonal relationships through nervous system attunement.
- Psychologists (PhD, PsyD) who incorporate neuro-informed interventions and trauma-focused modalities into their research or practice, with an interest in the intersection of adaptive information processing, social engagement, and nervous system function.
- Addiction counselors (LCAS, CADC, LADCs) who recognize the connection between trauma, addiction, and autonomic dysregulation and want to refine their clinical work through EMDR and Polyvagal frameworks.
This course is ideal for professionals committed to integrating evidence-based interventions into their practice while cultivating a refined therapeutic presence—both consciously and unconsciously—to foster deeper client healing. Through this training, participants will earn CE credits and acquire practical, Polyvagal-Informed EMDR strategies that enhance their ability to provide trauma-informed care that is both scientifically grounded and deeply compassionate.
Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of competency, recognizing their advanced skills in integrating Polyvagal Theory with EMDR therapy. This certification empowers clinicians to elevate their clinical approach, equipping them with cutting-edge interventions rooted in the latest research on trauma, memory reprocessing, and nervous system regulation.
