The autonomic nervous system is at the heart of daily living powerfully shaping experiences of safety and influencing the capacity for connection. Polyvagal Theory, through the organizing principles of hierarchy, neuroception, and co-regulation, has revolutionized our understanding of how this system works. We now know that trauma interrupts the development of autonomic regulation and shapes the system away from connection into patterns of protection. For many clients, states of fight, flight, and collapse are frequent, intense, and prolonged while the state of safety and connection is elusive. Their autonomic nervous systems now respond in characteristic post-traumatic patterns of hyperarousal, hypervigilance, disconnection, and numbing.
A Polyvagal approach uses an updated map of the autonomic circuits that underlie behaviors and beliefs so clinicians can reliably lead their clients out of adaptive survival responses into the autonomically regulated state of safety that is necessary for successful treatment. Polyvagal Theory gives clinicians a guide to help clients safely tune into their autonomic states, reshape their nervous systems, and rewrite the trauma stories that are carried in their autonomic pathways.

Thank you so much for this useful educational material. The video of you was too small to get cues of safety or threat - but your voice definitely demonstrated the calming and co-regulating effect you talked about. I learned a lot and I am very grateful for it 🙏
-
Wow ur voice was so calming and inviting it made feel really safe
-
That was wonderful and new information that everyone can use that wants to help themselves and live better in this world. Thank you so very much for presenting it so concisely. aloha

5:51 the sound and rhythm of your voice is sending such a strong message of safety that I’m getting lulled to sleep😂
-
Loved this presentation! Thank you
-
Great stuff, and Debs Dana is awesome, and the piece about smile covering not being important is pure politics. Every advertiser uses smiles for a reason
-
Thank for the update

This Polyvagal theory works; question. How does it work? 🤔 New discovery😮 For a year, I've experienced a trigger finger on my left hand. I finally made a Dr appointment, 30 miles away. On the drive to the doctors, I thought that much of my life I've been too good-natured, allowing folks to take advantage of me. When the doctor came into the examination room, my fingered was unlocked. I was stupefied! Floored!

I can’t understand this: do our body sensations come first and then we find a story to explain those sensations or is it that we think of a story that triggers our bodily sensations? Thx
-
Polyvagal theory confuses the hell out of me. Regarding trauma, we’re told that it’s a stuck state, and when a state is stuck we have to move up the polyvagal ladder in order to reach safety. BUT, we’re also told that we have to cultivate safety before we process our trauma! It’s actually quite disturbing how this paradox is presented to traumatised people.

Having some dark thoughts on the source of the majority of my C-PTSD.... What if one thing happened as apposed to another for instance... Not even feeling bad about it ... just matter of fact. I imagine that sounds cryptic but it's all I can muster.

Thank you for curing my insomnia.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This talk is an hour of fluffy platitudes about Saftey. People need concrete practice instruction, how often and what mechanism is at play that makes it work.

Yes, some stress reducing techniques are successful, but polyvagal theory is not correct. See Grossman, 2023.
