Learn with Jan

In this self-paced workshop, you will explore the intersection of trauma and addiction, and discuss therapeutic responses to both fields.

Using the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, we will shift the current pathologizing paradigm to a strength-based approach. The FSPM model integrates with Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, and provides students with a framework to support any therapeutic modality. This course will be informative for those new to the field of trauma/addiction as well as seasoned practitioners.

This self-paced workshop is newly updated and redesigned. Because of that, this page for the older version of the course is currently inactive.
