Polyvagal-informed Practices

Polyvagal-informed practices are approaches rooted in the understanding of how the body's nervous system influences our emotions and reactions. They focus on helping individuals recognize and regulate their feelings by tuning into their physiological states—such as feeling safe, alert, or anxious—and using techniques like breathing, grounding, or social connection to shift towards a calmer, safer state. This approach emphasizes safety and connection as foundations for well-being, supporting emotional resilience and self-regulation, especially in situations of stress or trauma.
