Polyvagal Institute

The Polyvagal Institute is an organization dedicated to understanding how the vagus nerve influences our emotional regulation, social connection, and overall well-being. Based on the work of Dr. Stephen Porges, it explores how the nervous system responds to stress and safety cues. By applying this knowledge, the institute aims to promote healing and resilience through therapies and education that help people manage anxiety, trauma, and social difficulties. Essentially, it focuses on how our body's physiological responses affect our mental health and relationships, fostering methods to support safer, more connected experiences.
