Course Description:
This session provides both a scientific and clinical model for using heart rate, heart rate variability and an oximeter to assist therapist in teaching physiologically and emotionally distressed couples to self soothe. It is based on the research of Dr. John Gottman and the HeartMath Institute. The Webinar emphasizes the importance of detecting over arousal by both the therapist and the client with biofeedback instruments and learning skills to reduce this arousal.
The Webinar includes an overview of Dr. Gottman's findings related to psychophysiological arousal and flooding and their negative impact on relationships. A rational for the use of specific biofeedback tools will be presented and a model for their effective implementation into a relationship practice.

- Participants will be able to talk to their couples about psychophysiological arousal and flooding.
