Polyvagal-informed therapy

Polyvagal-informed therapy is an approach that focuses on understanding how our nervous system, especially the vagus nerve, influences our feelings, behaviors, and responses to stress. It recognizes that our body’s physiological states—such as feeling safe, anxious, or overwhelmed—are connected to the nerve's activity. The therapy aims to help individuals recognize and regulate these states, promoting feelings of safety and connection. By understanding these bodily responses, people can better manage trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges, fostering resilience and healthier interactions with others.
