Polyvagal Theory for the Lay Person:

Presented by Dr. Benjamin Shield

Stephen Porges's "Polyvagal Theory" is a new understanding of the autonomic nervous system which has huge implications for trauma therapies. The articles detailing Porges' theory, are however, quite technical. For those without an academic background in biology, physiology, or neuroscience, these articles may be difficult to read, understand, and interpret. Dr. Benjamin Shield taught a one-day workshop on the theory in which he turned "Porges into English." Dr. Shield developed this one-day course in order to help those without his scientific background to better understand the relevance and the implications of Porges' theory. This is a 2 CD set of Dr. Benjamin Shield's original presentation of Dr. Porges' Polyvagal Theory.

Freeing the Neck, Relaxing the Jaw, Softening the Face
(This series replaces Sensory Motor Education for the Mouth and Jaw and TMJ Health)

Created by Dr. Lori A. Parker

This series of lessons is an innovative and effective movement awareness program that will give you the tools you need to find your way back to a more relaxed and pain-free state. It is for sufferers of Neck Pain, TMJ Dysfunction Headaches and Chronic Stress. The lessons are designed not only to reduce, and quite possibly eliminate pain and tension in the neck, jaw, and face, but also to help restore the optimum functioning of your autonomic nervous system (the stress control mechanism in your body). The series includes an informative CD in which Lori A. Parker explains how excessive tension in the area of your neck, jaw and face, might not only lead to painful necks, painful jaws, and headaches, but also to a malfunction of the stress control mechanism in your body. When this mechanism is mal functioning, you will feel less and less able to cope with the stressors in your life. Lori A. Parker GCFP, S.E.P., Ph.D. is not only a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner but also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Somatic Experiencing is a method designed to restore the optimum functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Lori A. Parker has written extensively on the function of the autonomic nervous system and about how to go about restoring its balance.
