FND & Polyvagal Theory: Navigating Your Nervous System

Join FNDcourage for the second in a three-part Q&A series with Dr. Moenter, created to support individuals living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and their care partners.

Polyvagal Theory offers a practical framework for understanding how the nervous system responds to safety, stress, and connection. During this session, Dr. Moenter will explain these concepts in an accessible way and discuss how they relate to the experiences of people living with FND. Participants will learn how to recognize different nervous system states, understand why symptoms may fluctuate, and explore gentle strategies that support regulation and resilience.

Registration is requested.

You Are Still You: Finding Beauty, Creativity, and Joy with FND

Living with FND can change many aspects of daily life, but it does not define who you are.

This session explores ways to reconnect with the parts of yourself that bring meaning, creativity, purpose, and joy. Together, we'll discuss how cultivating moments of beauty, curiosity, and self-expression can support healing and help strengthen a sense of identity beyond symptoms.

Registration is requested.

Join David Wise, doctor of physical therapy, for an interactive online workshop exploring the surprising science behind how your brain and body coordinate movement, and what that means for functional neurological disorder.

This isn't a lecture. You'll try simple, hands-on demonstrations right from your own living room—no special equipment needed—that reveal just how automatic, adaptable, and sometimes unpredictable your nervous system really is. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why movement can change from moment to moment, practical tools you can use at home, and a new appreciation for just how remarkable your nervous system is.

Whether you're living with functional neurological disorder, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the mind-body connection, this workshop offers accessible, evidence-informed insight in a warm, welcoming format.
