Recorded course
Some children and young people seem to withdraw from life. Their anxiety becomes so severe that anything which might have helped seemed to make things worse. They may find it hard to come out of the bedrooms or to leave the house. Parents are left not knowing what to do next.
This course will use the lens of Polyvagal theory (Stephen Porges) to understand what is going on for these young people, and will include practical ways in which parents can help themselves and their children.
You'll leave with a new way to think about what is happening, and some things to try.
