Collaborative Divorce Texas LUNCH AND LEARN HOUR

April 6, 2021 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Understanding The Polyvagal Theory

(and how it affects your client and what to do about it )

Jennifer Leister LPCS, Charissa Fry LPC and Melinda Eitzen JD will be discussing how to identify when our clients are dysregulated and have gone into fight or flight mode or shutdown mode and how to help them regulate back into a state where they can make good logical decisions. The presentation will include specific practical application that the listener can immediately put into practice. The training will also provide critical insight into how the MHP or Child Specialist can conceptualize interviewing children and facilitating meetings.
