ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS

In this session, Dr. Stephen Porges and Dr. Scott Lyons will engage in a conversation around recreating the fundamental elements of safety when boundaries and a sense of protection has been ruptured. They will explore how enhancing neuro-reception can help those who have experienced trauma to once again discern cues of danger and safety, allowing that individual to move into connections, co-regulation and, ultimately, ease.
