Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Describe the relationship between homeostatic regulation of the autonomic nervous system and mental and physical health.
-
Explain how physiological state biases behavioral, psychological, and autonomic reactions and impacts on social and cognitive function.
-
Explain the role of the vagus, as a surveillance system, in promoting homeostatic functions.
-
Explain how music, containing rhythms synchronous with endogenous bodily rhythms, may signal neural circuits to calm the nervous system and promote homeostatic functions.
Description
Stephen Porges and Anthony Gorry discuss their new technology, Sonocea®, and Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP), a supplementary treatment strategy designed for healthcare providers when treating clients with mental and physical illnesses, including chronic stress and functional disorders. Sonocea® enhanced RRP is informed by decades of research studying physiological rhythms in the body. Their technology enables music to activate the body’s natural rhythms, promoting healing and growth. Sonocea® enhanced Rest and Restore Protocol uses endogenous biological rhythms embedded in unique musical themes, signaling the healing functions of the autonomic nervous system. Within a clinical setting, it provides an adjunctive intervention providing greater accessibility of the client in the therapeutic process.
