PSB Lunch and Learn Series Fall 2023: Incorporating Polyvagal Approaches and the Neurobiology of Trauma in Treatment of Sexually Abusive Behavior With Dr. Meghan Fagundes
Research shows that individuals with sexually abusive behavior experience trauma at higher rates than the general population; however, there is a paucity of research exploring the incorporation of trauma-informed approaches with those who have engaged in sexually abusive behavior. How might our existing approaches to working with this population be overlooking, or worse, exacerbating symptoms related to trauma? In this workshop, we will explore how to incorporate a basic understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and polyvagal theory into practices for individuals with sexually abusive behavior.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the impact of trauma on neurobiology and development as it relates to individuals with sexually abusive behavior.
2. Summarize the basic principles of polyvagal theory and trauma informed care.
3. Learn how to integrate polyvagal therapy and other trauma informed practices into treatment for sexually abusive behavior.
