Connection Focused Therapy™
A polyvagal perspective applied to equine assisted interventions.
During Rebecca Bailey’s, PhD, presentation listeners will have the opportunity to explore understanding the application of polyvagal to equine assisted therapy. She will also share how to identify behavioral signs of neuroception and co regulation. What I love about this talk is that Rebecca teaches how to identify the role and implement the power of connection in healing!
