At Palo Alto Smart Therapy, we believe when trusted professionals are well-informed and aligned, it creates a powerful ripple effect in the lives of clients and patients. That’s why we offer complimentary, customized presentations—available either online or in person at your office—designed to support you and your team in understanding the emotional, psychological, and physiological challenges your clients may be navigating, how therapeutic approaches can make a meaningful difference—and offer you practical tools to better support clients going through challenging times.
These research-informed sessions offer insights you can immediately apply in your work. Whether you’re guiding a family through transition, supporting a leader through burnout, advising on generational wealth, or caring for a patient’s overall wellness, we tailor each presentation to meet your field’s unique challenges. Together, we deepen the network of care surrounding the people who rely on us most.
Topics We Cover
Here are just a few of the topics we can explore with your team:
- Beyond Fight, Flight, and Freeze: How the Nervous System Really Responds to Stress:
Gain an updated understanding of the autonomic nervous system—including the “fawn” response and polyvagal theory—to better identify clients’ states and respond with attunement and effectiveness. Plus, you might learn to recognize your own stress responses and stay centered in high-pressure moments.
- Helping Clients Think Clearly Under Stress: What the Brain Needs to Make Good Decisions
Stress can disrupt clarity, focus, and follow-through. Learn how to recognize decision-making patterns under stress and gain tools to help clients slow down, self-regulate, and re-engage with their values.
- Practical Strategies to Calm Emotional Overwhelm
When clients become emotionally flooded, communication and problem-solving often break down. Discover simple techniques to de-escalate emotion, foster a sense of safety, and keep conversations productive.
- Stress Management for Professionals: Tools for Sustainable Success
Chronic stress doesn’t just affect clients—it affects the professionals supporting them. Gain a few core tools for managing your own stress, preventing burnout, and modeling grounded presence for the people you serve.
- Bridging Emotional and Physical Health
Many clients present with physical symptoms rooted in psychological distress. Learn how to recognize when emotional factors may be contributing to pain, fatigue, or chronic conditions—and how to refer or respond effectively. These insights may also help you tune in to your own body’s signals before stress becomes chronic.
- What Is Trauma-Informed Care—And Why It Matters in Your Field
Clients who’ve experienced trauma often struggle with trust, reactivity, or emotional regulation. Learn the basics of trauma-informed practice so you can adapt your approach to reduce retraumatization and improve cooperation.
