A lack of choice is one of the defining elements of a traumatic event, often leaving individuals feeling powerless and disconnected from their own sense of agency. This webinar explores how Neuroception, a concept introduced by Stephen Porges, shapes our unconscious assessment of safety and threat, profoundly influencing the therapeutic process. By understanding and supporting the nervous system’s ability to detect safety, clinicians can help clients regain access to choice, enabling them to respond rather than react, and to engage in effective, intentional action. This shift—from discomfort, hypervigilance, or immobilization toward safety, presence, and comfort—aligns with principles highlighted by Emerson and van der Kolk. Restoring choice is not just a cognitive or behavioral intervention; it is a fundamental step in helping clients reclaim their inner authority and sense of self. For those who have experienced complex trauma, facilitating this reconnection with agency can be deeply healing and transformative.
