Deepening Practice: The Four-Circle Harm Reduction Practice and the Embodied Assessment and Treatment Tool

In this course, Jan Winhall explains how the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model can help clinicians work more deeply and effectively with trauma and addiction by integrating neuroception, interoception, attachment, titration, and embodied practice. She shows how addictive and dissociative responses can be understood as adaptive survival strategies, and offers practical frameworks clinicians can use to support regulation, dignity, and lasting change.

About this course

In this course, Jan Winhall, author, teacher, and seasoned trauma and addiction psychotherapist, introduces an advanced, embodied approach to understanding and treating trauma, addiction, and dissociation through the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model. The course explores the experiencing scale, attachment-informed practice, titration, neuroplasticity, the four-circle harm reduction model, and the Embodied Assessment and Treatment Tool, while also demonstrating how these ideas can be applied in real clinical work. Clinicians will gain a practical roadmap for recognising nervous system states, reframing addictive behaviours without pathologising clients, and supporting safer, more regulated therapeutic change.<br><br> This course is part of a 2-part series on this topic. The first course in this series is called <a href="/catalogue/courses/an-overview-of-the-felt-sense-polyvagal-model"><i>An Overview of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model in Treating Trauma and Addiction</i></a>.
