NJ-New Webinars: Understanding Body-Mind Connection



Date & Location
Wednesday, November 16, 2022, 12:00 PM - Tuesday, January 31, 2023, 11:59 PM

Overview
This 30-minute workshop will increase self-awareness, a key component of emotional intelligence, by discussing the neuroscience of the body-mind connection. The goal is to increase nurses’ capacity for stress by learning to reconnect and listen to messages the body is sending. The foundation of information shared is The Polyvagal Theory by Stephen Porges, which demonstrates that we have the ability to engage our parasympathetic nervous systems to decrease physiologic stress levels.

Target Audience
Specialties - General Nursing
Professions - Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse

  4. Identify one practice that will engage the parasympathetic nervous system.
