Effective psychotherapy depends on regulation. When clients struggle to access calm, focus, or emotional safety, progress can stall—no matter how strong the therapeutic relationship.

Practical Nervous System Regulation in Psychotherapy is a brief, on-demand CE course designed to give clinicians immediately usable, sensory-based regulation strategies rooted in occupational therapy and neuroscience.

This course introduces practical nervous system regulation techniques using vestibular and proprioceptive input, helping clinicians better understand how sensory systems support regulation, engagement, and emotional stability. You’ll gain concrete tools that can be easily integrated into sessions—without specialized equipment or extensive training.

Perfect for busy clinicians, this focused training delivers high-impact strategies in a short, efficient format.
