What does it feel like to have more room ~ more capacity to stay present, grounded, and connected even under pressure? This workshop invites clinicians into an exploration of the Window of Tolerance (aka Window of Capacity or Ventral Vagal) through a Polyvagal lens, examining how the nervous system contracts under stress and how we can gently and sustainably expand it. Drawing on an integrative range of practices, participants will discover multiple entry points into regulation and ventral vagal states — tools that are as nourishing for the clinician as they are transformative for clients.
