DESCRIPTION:

During this introductory-level experiential workshop, we will present user-friendly, deceivingly simple
techniques and biofeedback devices to assist in learning to self-regulate emotional and mental states through regulating heart rate variability (HRV)--a measure of naturally occurring beat-to-beat changes in heart rate.

We will discuss heart-brain interaction and physiological coherence, and compare heart rate variability of individuals experiencing positive emotions with those experiencing anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress. Similarities and differences in treatment protocols for people experiencing each state will be presented.

We will focus on empirical support for clinical intervention focused on HRV, and for the application of biofeedback technology developed by HeartMath,  and we will use the biofeedback instruments for observed practice and feedback.  In addition, we will discuss and practice treatment protocols that do not require biofeedback technology, but also were developed by HeartMath to positively impact heart rate variability.

This workshop, which will be 50% lecture and 50% experiential, is at an introductory level. No prior experience with clinical interventions based on heart rate variability is required.

“We have come to appreciate the heart as a new window through which emotional stability and maturity
can be quickly facilitated in a wide range of client and patient populations.”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

This program is designed to help you:

• Describe the activation of the stress response.
• Describe the role of the heart-brain connection in influencing emotional experience and building resiliency.
• Define heart-rate variability and physiological coherence, and identify 2 differences between relaxation and physiological coherence.
• Compare effective application of heart-rate variability biofeedback for anxiety, trauma and depression.
• Demonstrate effective application of heart-rate variability biofeedback technology (HeartMath® Inner Balance™ for smartphone and/or emWave® Pro for Desktop) in attaining physiological coherence.
• Demonstrate effective application of 3 HeartMath® techniques for emotional self-regulation recommended to reduce stress, anxiety and the impact of trauma.
