Polyvagal Informed EMDR Practitioner Program
Deepen Your EMDR Practice. Integrate the Science of Safety and the Wisdom of Polyvagal Theory

Every moment of healing begins with safety. When we listen to the body’s cues and respond with compassion, EMDR becomes more than a protocol; it becomes a pathway to regulation, connection, and wholeness.
This program helps you bring the nervous system fully into the room, blending the evidence-based precision of EMDR with the embodied wisdom of Polyvagal Theory so your clients can move from survival to safety, and from safety to true transformation.

Practical Interventions You’ll Learn
- Assess your client's autonomic state using physical, behavioral, and psychological markers
- Implement guided neuroception scans to identify safety and threat cues across internal, external, and relational domains
- Teach and monitor use of the vagal brake through neuro-informed interventions
- Use pendulation exercises to titrate activation
- Use micro-interventions for grounding and orientation throughout reprocessing phases
- Apply structured “Notice and Name” practice to increase interoceptive accuracy and tolerance for sensation
- Use anchoring statements and brief orientation cues to maintain dual awareness
- Deliver interweaves based on observed autonomic state and the client’s level of ventral access
- Employ working memory taxation interventions to move through over-activation or blocked processing
- Conduct real-time autonomic tracking during BLS sets
Why Polyvagal-Informed EMDR?
Clients don’t heal through logic alone. They heal when their nervous system feels safe enough to move beyond survival. Complex trauma, chronic dysregulation, stalled progress: even seasoned EMDR therapists face sessions where clients “hit a wall.”
The missing piece? Polyvagal-informed case conceptualization and intervention.
This program is for EMDR-trained clinicians ready to:
- Confidently assess and track nervous system states in-session
- Map and strengthen client safety through the “vagal brake”
- Expand EMDR’s 8 Phases with Polyvagal-informed interventions
- Modify protocols responsively, so clients aren’t flooded or “stuck”
- Gain science-backed, immediately applicable tools for EMDR reprocessing
