Vagal Toning Program For Therapists
Many therapists are not trained to offer their clients body-based trauma healing therapies. This is why Rewire Trauma Therapy has put together a CE-accredited Vagal Toning Program to equip to offer therapeutic Vagal Toning techniques to clients grappling with the debilitating effects of trauma.
Talk therapy often overlooks the most important conversation for trauma healing: the mind-body dialogue.
The language of trauma is largely physiological, meaning our therapies should be too. For this reason, trauma healing experts Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana suggest vagal toning therapeutic exercises that work directly with the nervous system to help shift the body into a calmer and more regulated state to relieve the lingering effects of trauma on the body.
Vagal toning therapeutic exercises work to strengthen the tone of the vagus nerve, which enhances:
- Emotional stability
- Resilience to stress
- Improved empathy
- A sense of inner calm.1
This is why Rewire Trauma Therapy has drawn from the works of top trauma experts such as Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Dr. Pat Ogden, and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk to carefully curate this CE-accredited program combining theory modules inspired by Polyvagal Theory and practical vagal toning exercises to learn techniques to utilize and help clients regulate their nervous system and regulate emotional responses. This program offers practical tools as an invaluable addition to your therapeutic practice.
As Bessel van der Kolk says: “Traumatic events are almost impossible to put into words.” This is because trauma recall tends to shut down the part of the brain responsible for speech production, Broca’s area. In turn, this compromises our ability to verbalize and express our memories and emotions associated with traumatic events.2
This online, CE-accredited Vagal Toning Program has been carefully curated to support you in expanding your trauma healing toolbox to help your clients find a sense of relief from overwhelming trauma symptoms.

Deirdre O Connor
SLEEP THERAPIST, YOGA DIP, CBT THERAPY CERT, CRANIOSACRAL THERAPIST CST-T, CST PAEDRIATICS DTR MOVEMENT DIP, ADV
As a trauma-informed somatic therapist, counselor, and movement therapist I have always had a keen interest in how our bodies reflect and somatize our thoughts and feelings. This fascination and exploration have spanned almost three decades, over 3,000 hours of training, and working with thousands of students and clients in this field.
As a body-based therapist, I embraced Craniosacral Therapy and Hakomi Mindfulness Psychotherapy as ways of working with our earliest emotional wounds. I’ve trained in the NeouroAffective Polyvagal Trauma- Informed work of Dr. Aline LaPierre which works through attuned touch, presence, and somatic dialogue to meet those places in us that can continue to hold trauma in the muscular bracing patterns of anxiety and long-term stress.
