In this groundbreaking audio guide, you are taken step by step through:

  • The foundational concepts of the vagus nerve and its critical role in our sense of safety, our response to stress, and how we connect with others.
  • The fundamentals of the autonomic nervous system, uncovering how trauma can lead to its dysregulation and how Polyvagal Theory offers a road map to recovery and emotional stability.
  • The audiobook transcends mere explanation, generously offering over 50 Polyvagal exercises. Each practice is beautifully articulated to involve the listener directly, encouraging the active engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system to instill tranquility and foster connection. Accessible and versatile, these exercises range from simple breathing techniques to the nurturing potential found within social interactions.
