Physiological Markers Checklist

The PMC© is a brief assessment tool which helps you consider your client’s autonomic activation in the therapy room. The PMC© encourages therapists to have focused awareness on clients’ unconscious non-verbal communication about their internal worlds. When utilised throughout the therapeutic process, it serves as an additional measure to consider the client’s development of a neuroception of safety.
