Not Just Fun and Games: Using Biofeedback to Enhance Self-regulation

Presenter: Kevin Creeden, M.A., LMHC

Perhaps the most significant impact of interpersonal trauma is the diminished capacity to regulate the intensity and duration of affective states such as fear, anger, and sexual impulses. Not only do many of the youth we treat struggle to regulate their emotional and behavioral responses but frequently they fail to recognize or accurately label the physiological cues that precipitate or accompany these dysregulated responses.
This training proposes that the use of HRV (heart rate variability) biofeedback as a treatment intervention that enhances the awareness of physiological cues and promotes an increased capacity for self-regulatory responses. This can not only improve behavioral stability but can facilitate a greater sense of personal competence and resilience.
