An introductory course on the theory and practice of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback. 

A 2 day workshop on the 11th and 12th of June 2012 in London, England. The cost of the 2 days will be: €300 or £250 

At St James’s in Piccadilly, London http://www.qeeg.co.uk/HRV/courseHRV2012.htm 

This workshop will be suitable for beginners to the field of Neurofeedback and Biofeedback. It will cover a brief history of the field, relevant anatomy, physiology and function, and practical hands-on experience of running a Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback session. 

Level of Difficulty: Basic 

Goals/Objectives: 
• Understand autonomic physiology and the origins of HRV. 
• Understand the parameters used to quantify heart rate variability. 
• Use protocols that will maximize resonant frequency of HRV, prior to neurofeedback training or other interventions. 
• Understand the impact respiration has on the individual's blood chemistry, their physiology and psychology and how the correct breathing can reduce stress and improve concentration. 

Mounting evidence points to the efficacy of HRV biofeedback for autonomically mediated disorders and for Stress, Anxiety and Depression. In this workshop the fundamentals of HRV are explained and illustrated. First we concentrate on the physiology and neurophysiology behind the phenomenon and then to the biofeedback technique itself. The workshop will cover "Polyvagal Theory" (Porges, 1995), its development, status, and implications, and HRV measurement with an emphasis on clinical utility. 

(There is a padcase on The Polyvagal Theory with Stephen Porges, Ph.D.) http://www.shrinkrapradio.com/2011/06/03/265-%E2%80%93-the-polyvagal-theory-with-stephen-porges-ph-d/

This basic biofeedback technique, pioneered by the presenter and his colleagues in the US and Russia, is carefully demonstrated and each participant is coached to assure competency. In Part II, protocols for Chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, IBS, Anxiety Disorders, Hypertension, and other disorders are briefly presented. By the workshop's completion the participant should be able to use these protocols in their own home or in clinical settings.
