The Polyvagal Theory Podcast

The Polyvagal Theory Podcast explores how the vagus nerve influences our emotions, behaviors, and physiological states. It explains that this nerve, part of our nervous system, helps regulate feelings of safety, stress, and social connection. The theory highlights how our body responds to danger or safety by shifting between different states—rest, fight or flight, and social engagement—affecting mental and physical health. The podcast offers insights into understanding trauma, resilience, and techniques to enhance well-being by tuning into our body's signals and fostering a sense of safety.
