A.R.T. EXPRESS

A unique look at the PVT and how it can practically apply to autism. New information, not in the book.

A creative and distinct look at the Polyvagal Theory, bridging extra biology and anatomy to provide a complete picture of meltdowns; shut-down; the sympathetic and parasympathetic state; states of wellbeing and what they can afford us.

Moving into the brain and seeing the interconnections between mind and body and how mental and emotional functioning is dependent on the state of the nervous system. Holly pulls together a vast amount of current research into the ways we now understand how the vestibular system; immune system; limbic system and various areas of the brain coordinate to allow ease of not just movement, but executive functions and emotional wellbeing.

Expanding on Anat Baniels’ Nine Essentials in the book to expand how we can work with them through an A.R.T. (Anxiety Reframe Technique) lens and expand our capacity to work and play with those on the spectrum.

Holly shares her insights into the A.R.T. (Anxiety Reframe Technique) process through the lens of Anat Baniel’s Nine Essentials. She speaks to the subtle, psychological ways in which we need to attend to people when working with ART so that we get the best results, with the greatest level of respect and care. Holly brings her unique style of understanding neuroscience, the body and how to work with delicate systems to this module.

Learn in more depth about the autonomic nervous system and how it aligns with health and wellbeing. Learn how to work with Holly’s Hara Ball Exercise.

Hara is a Japanese term with a wide application, but can be specifically applied to a state of deep peace that is derived from the body being in a certain physiological state. Here we look at the anatomy of the enteric nervous system in relation to the autonomic nervous system and then discover how Holly’s ‘Hara Ball’ exercises can help promote this state of being. We learn to see with keen eyes how to be mindful of the needs of the client; how not to push our own agenda and how to attend to our own needs so that we come from a generous, respectful and knowing space. How interoception is afforded by the body being in a soft enough space. Videos of the ‘ball’ in action.

Neurosensory alignment; how sensory information is tracked in the body and how we can rewire the body’s learned patterns of response. Learn how to work with acupressure Hand Points through the A.R.T. (Anxiety Reframe Technique) lens.

We look at neuroception and neuro sensory perception and how this is intricately linked to the rest of the body. How facilitation as a physical practice can enhance brain maps, proprioception, vestibular sensation, safety and wellbeing. Holly shares her Hand-Points exercise and videos of the work in action and allows you to gain a personal perspective on this process so that you can bring a higher level of awareness to your work.
