Understanding Polyvagal Theory: The Science of Safety and Connection!

Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, illuminates how our nervous system shapes our emotional responses and social behaviours. By exploring the link between our physiological state and interactions, we can enhance our well-being.

Key Concepts:

  • Three States: Safe & Social, Fight/Flight, Shutdown.
    • Safe & Social: Promotes connection and communication.
    • Fight/Flight: Prepares to confront or escape threats.
    • Shutdown: Leads to immobilisation or freeze.

Why It Matters:

  • Emotional Regulation: Helps manage stress and emotions.
  • Improved Relationships: Fosters better communication and empathy.
  • Therapeutic Insight: Aids in overcoming trauma and anxiety.

Practical Applications:
